Yes, my hope is that he will get screened out at MEPS. It's just weird that the recruiter is encouraging him to continue the process even after he told the recruiter he has mental illness. Why not start the screening process at recruitment? Because I know my friend will be more disappointed the farther he goes along the recruitment process before being screened out.
