I thought self mutilation disqualified somebody for military service?

My bf is ex-army and I have a baby together and he wants to get married( I don’t if I want that). He doesn’t want his ex but he kisses her ass and acts like she is normal and wants to go into the army for normal reasons. Honestly, she isn’t intelligent, pretty or kind and I have helped him take care of his children with her a lot(and I have an older child) and they have some serious emotional problems. She has expressed regret for leaving him but when he and I were completely uninvolved and they were living in Ft. Stewart she harassed me and smashed his cell phone to pieces, she destroyed other property with a hammer. He married her because she was pregnant, but then she hid an entire second preg from him and everybody including her twin and binge-drank alcohol (while they lived on base) and just popped out a secret vodka baby one day. She had sought no prenatal health care even though her first baby had been born via c-section. She also cheated on him with another soldier(even took out a secret loan for the guy and asked her husband to pay it). Yeah it is all bs. She has time and again expressed regrets from the past and the very little time she has the kids, she returns them filthy-recently not even brushing her daughter’s hair even though she had lice. They actually like me but act traumatized over gettings baths for one thing. The 3 yr old slaps and bites herself over the smallest things. The 6 year old works herself into hysteria over small things.The only time she didn’t physically abuse him(she has punched him in the face and called the Mps, wrapped a cord around his neck and called the Mps was the brief period she took prozac(not within the past year). I don’t think I’ll stick around much more. He acts like she wants to join the Army for some other reason than to be close to him. She completely uses the children to manipulate him and at the same, time acts very resentful about spending time with the children. She had a suicide attempt two years ago and had to be taken to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. Does the military often let suicidal candidates in? Should they really be training someone like that on a weapon? She leaves for boot camp in Missouri next month. She’ll be working with Forklifts. I just feel bad for the kids-mine included.
Sorry if you didn’t like the story but it is what it is, just wondering. I don’t think she is a responsible person but then again, I think she may be a danger and it would still be sad to me if something like boot camp further broke the psyche of someone so delicate, it could be further damaging to the children.
Unfortunately, her husband never pressed charges even though the mps asked him.
The recruiter pushed her through, she leaves for Basic April 26.
