My friends husband is a marine and recently had two seizures. How will this effect his military career?

He hasn't had a seizure before this. I have heard that you cannot become a marine if you had a history of seizures, but he had his while on the job. Will he still be able to serve in some way, or will his contract be terminated? What can we expect?My friends husband is a marine and recently had two seizures.

Hello mycatsasha





Sorry to hear this. Your friend's husband will probably be medically evaluated to determine if he is still eligible for worldwide duty. But a seizure is very serious as common sense tells us. What might happen is that he will be medically retired with a pension and he will have to be medically treated for his condition to keep it from becoming worse.





Best wishes.

It will probably end it, though that will be up to the medical review board to decide. A medical discharge is a long process, it's not something that happens overnight.
Do you know what caused the seizures? That will make a world of difference.
He'll probably be released. Seizures can make him be a danger to himself and the men with him.
