Ritalin is a mind altering drug. If a military candidate is older than 12 and still taking it, the military will likely exclude that person from military service. because of it. I will find the rules and regs on it for you. Keep this in mind, the different services don't always have the same standards. What is fine for the Army may not necessarily be the same for the Air Force or the Navy. the different branches don't all read from the same books on this matter.
