Re: Recently Started Sleepwalking

I'd go to sick morning sick call and let the doc know. He can get you a consult to a real doc, who can get you to the right specialist, if necessary for evaluation. There may be some medication that can take care of the issue, but I don't know for sure. The docs will know, and it's your duty to report any medical condition or symptoms you have so that military medical professionals can treat you. You really don't have any other lawful choice in the matter, such as concealing it out of some concern as to how it might affect your duty status or your enlistment. I'd get down to sick call tomorrow and report the symptoms.
