Drugs?

I was just talking to a Marine recruiter, I asked "what is your policy for past drug use"?

He said 90 days for Pot and some others are disqualifiers. He kind of side steped the question. Why? and what drugs are disqualifiers?

If I said I never did anything how could they prove I did?
Do they polygraph? Or would they Polygraph?

Thank you in advance.

They drug test at the MEPS and then for the rest of your carrer. You CAN lie but if the find out you did (like an old police report or something) your boned.

It's best just to be upfront about everything that has happened and go though with the application process. They will screen you at the MEPS.

Oh and you can get a wavier for almost anything you did outside of the Marine Corps within reason.

I don't know about you guys. But when I was in the Air Force. I got a poligraph 2 twice. But that could have been because of my security clearance and job.

Never tried so much as pot in my whole life. I detest drugs, those who need them, and even moreso, those that that sell them.

........And just to stay on the original topic:

I find it Extremely hypocritical for the Military to have a problem with a Soldiers past drug experimentation.

Especially when the Military has been using Soldiers as Guinea pigs for different drugs, Vaccines, Mind Control, etc. WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT/KNOWLEDGE for DECADES!!!!

Replace the word "drugs" with "guns", and you sound about just as open minded. Food for thought.

I think he meant illegal drugs. Big difference. On that not in 1997 I was heavily recruited by the marines I was in great shape, all my test scores were top couple % they said I could do anything I wanted. I went to a few meetings and come to find out since I previously took Ritalin with a prescription they didn’t want me.

Now tell me how legal drugs compare to illegal drugs and illegal guns. Is it ok for a 18 year old boy to have a hunting rifle as compared to an 18 year old potential recruit with a rap sheet of gun violence, with illegal guns like sawed off shotties, and illegally owned handguns. Let’s be fair here, and step off your preachy drugs for everyone stance. God damn the druggies in this country really are all the same, they see everything form the pro drug no consequence stance. Worst thing you could not be is open minded right?

He is interested in the military not being selected for a jury. What’s the hang up on open minded, what’s the relationship to the military, and why did your open mindedness not see it the way I did ...... as in practical, not open minded for the sake of saying its open minded for some sort of PC high-five and pat on the back.

How’s this for open mindedness, when the recruiter asks about your record you say be open-minded maaaaaaaaaan, yeah I have a rap sheet with gun violence, but you are gonna give me a gun, think of me as pre trained in killin dawg. Chemical war far? I aint worried my lungs are trashed anyways duuuuuuude. Keep an open mind sir

Original statement. Clearly offended the poster is not pro illegal drugs and trying to spin, as in your about to join the military, the military uses guns. Wow thanks cut-cutta, really if I substitute to inanimate words that have no relationship, that it changes the meaning? Wow you blew my mind duuude. You ever imagine the entire universes existing in the head of needle? Woooooooooooooa.

Hey yuppi if your so discerning and so critical how come you didn’t notice the stupidity of changing the meaning of statement , then making it sound like being open minded is beneficial to a potential recruit.

What is that benefit by the way, specifically in the context of the posters drug use??????????????????????????????????????














My original statement.

You cut this part out. The thread is about military and drugs, cutcutta wanted to blow our minds with his deepness. I asked how he can compare legal drugs to illegal. The OP clearly meant illegal drugs, and the board druggies took this as a opportunity to take to absurdness that he meant aspirin or whatever asthma or Ben gay etc. Ridiculous.

You quotes this part, I wanted to know how if we can compare LEGAL dugs to illegal then substitute in gun for drugs in cutcutta statement …. Still with me yuppis can you keep up? So these are his comparisons and substitutions I didn’t bring them up or suggest them I only asked that he also compare illegal guns to legal guns. I mean since OP brought up drugs you guys took that to mean something other than what he clearly meant. Then in classic myopic style, cutcutta compares illegal one thing to legal other. I just wanted him to compare to illegal guns. That is the important distinction you guys can get through your drug addled brains. Illegal is a qualifier. Granted I got burned for taking Ritalin, but you will not be disqualified from serving for taking benedryl or an asthma inhaler etc. Can you follow?

Cutcutta substituted drugs for guns. I quoted it in my original response. How did you not read it? He took drugs to mean what he wanted to serve his agenda. Then wanted to pervert the posters statement, to mean something else. I simply asked the natural evolution of that perversion is to compare illegal to illegal not a legal product to an illegal one. What’s so hard to grasp ???? I only mentioned 18 because you can both join the military at 18 and buy a rifle at 18 or did you not know this? If that lilt id bit bothered you why the hell would you say the following?

Who do you think you’re fooling? You honestly think when they have "just say no to drugs" PSA they mean caffeine? Or alcohol. Jesus Christ!

People die from accidents while high on pot all the time.

I haven’t taken Ritalin in years, your reading comprehension is very lacking, your logic thoroughly impaired maybe permanently, your critical thinking skills suck, and you’re inconsistent, and your allegiance is transparent. Your criticism is painfully obvious that I don’t feel the same as you about ILLEGAL drugs, I already said they should legalize marijuana once this very week on this forum. LEGAL does not equal legal for the sake of your side to win a debate. Please compare apples to apples guys. The fact YOU didn’t jump on the opportunity to point out the absurdity of cutt cuttas statement is all any unbiased person needs to see. Go get a room and go get smoked out or high on crack for all I car, but don’t let cut cutta try to tell the cops its “cereal” man not cocaine. Listen coppa’ just substitute the word cereal for cocaine and its no t big deal maaaaaaaan.
