Hey there,
Some background, I'm 20 years old, graduating with degrees and physics and math next spring. I really want to go to grad school, but for many various reasons, I want to join the military before I continue with my studies.
The only thing is I have a somewhat extensive drug history. I was a very very heavy marijuana smoker for many years. I was a heavy drinker on and off. And I've experimented with just about every drug you can name (except meth thank god). I'm pretty much past that now, I still smoke marijuana and drink occasionally though.
I feel that my drug history has made me a much stronger person. Only I know the military doesn't see it that way. And if I told them the truth before I joined I know they would never let me in. So... I would basically have to lie to even get in. But I really am past this and if I joined I would be 100% sober the entire time. I think the military would really be beneficial to me, I also think I could contribute great a bit to the organization as a scientist.
Also, The only thing I have on my record is and underage drinking ticket.
Just looking for some advice here, thanks for the help.
