Re: Air Force and Prior Drug Use
I am now a second lieutenant in the AF and spent 4 years prior service as an enlisted member. I told them I smoked pot once when I went in the first time (all true) and had a Top Secret clearance while AD, a secret clearance while a civilian, and have a new secret clearance now.
It's a pain, because it comes up all the time, but I told them b/c I wasn't sure of who'd they talk to. They make you write this stupid, idiotic sounding statement about how you tried it and you didn't like it and you now care too much about your career to do it again and now you're an adult - yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah - but it's relatively painless. Just a nuisance.
