If you already have some kind of anxiety or personality disorder or PTSD that might not qualify you to get into the military either.
You realize that you're going to miss a lot of "firsts" and watching her grow being in the military right? You could end up on a ship deployed. Multiple times. You'll go on TDY (training). You'll have to do a lot of things that will take you away from her. That's a reality. You're going to miss her grow no matter her age if you're in the military. I'm just giving you the harsh reality. I'm in the Army and once my daughter' medical stuff is stable I have to go to a leadership course for six weeks. That's six weeks of her life I'll miss. Someday I could deploy again. That's 9 months or even up to a year that I'll miss.
I'll tell you this you better stop smoking it because if you fail a UA after you're in the Navy you're ass is getting kicked out with a dishonorable. Keep that in mind.
Lighten up Francis. It doesn't matter what your view is on marijuana. Federally it's still illegal and in the military it's illegal and if you are caught with it in your system or using it you will be dishonorably discharged. They aren't giving people second chances anymore. You can call people all the names you want but I'm IN the military and I've been in joint assignments and have an idea how the Navy works. If you don't check your damn attitude the Navy Chiefs will eat you up and spit you out if you make it out of basic.
You really think there are no drug addicts in the military? Oh you naïve boy. Reality is about to kick you in the ass if you make it to boot camp and past it. I wish I could see you in boot camp. It would be glorious.
"I've never done drugs in my life, only smoked a plant that helped me in many ways that I don't care to give up, because I dealt with the stress of not having help before it. "
Your statement is where you said you needed weed to deal with the stress of not having help before you did it. So that means you needed weed to cope at some point. So yes flyingiron is right. You don't have to like it but don't be a dick about it.
Yes you do have to fight it. You know recruiters lie right? Often. I would definitely look up some Navy regulations myself if I was you and make sure that all you have to do is pay the fees.
free9man is right - the military changes rules and policies all the time. I have over a decade in and I have seen a LOT of things change. Also if you want to get a job with a clearance this MIGHT impact that.
Man I hope you do make it because the drill instructors or whatever they're called in the Navy are going to have a field day with you. I've dealt with kids with attitude like yours who come into the Army. Either they lose the attitude or they don't make it long.
You better start thinking about your daughter and not yourself. You will have a criminal record especially if all you do is pay the fines.
You clearly don't know anything about addiction. There are addicts who have gone 20 years sober and relapsed.
Really? You know who does and doesn't deserve it? Smh like I said you have a long road ahead of you in the military with that messed up attitude.
Just because you "plan" something doesn't mean it will happen especially in the military. I "planned" to get out after four years. I'm about to hit 13 years. You can't plan for everything because life doesn't work that way kid.
You have MORE of a criminal record? Did you tell the recruiter about this? Omg you are not gonna make it in the military. I will be very surprised if you make it out of boot camp.
