He got busted and kicked out for lying, not for smoking weed. The Navy is forgiving when it comes to the mistakes of youth and even the honest mistakes of maturity. It is NOT forgiving when you lie to its face.

Been there, (PNS) Done that.
Very true, however from what he told me, they were a bit concerned that it wasn't exactaly recreational use either. Was rather some pretty regular use in university.
Yes they do.

That would depend on what "stuff" means......
Murder conviction at 17? Yes, they care.
Stole a candybar at 13? No, they don't care.
It's not black and white with them. Context means a lot.

I was referring more to the drug use/minor stuff. I admitted to it and wrote it in manually in the remarks section, but when I entered it in the appropriate block on the EPSQ program, it rejected it saying it was before I was 18.
If you admit to a crime or charges, in THAT block it probably won't care what age you are/were.
I just completed the online form last month for a periodic re-investigation. It's called e-quip or something like that. Here is the amazing part, ONLY 5 weeks later, investigators were knocking on my neighbors doors doing the job! I guess the backlog is down...
Yeah, that's it, E-quip. It's amazing the Navy is actually leading the way with that system. Other agencies don't use it, even though it seems far smarter and more efficient.
Since, DoD mandated all investigations be done by OPM (with some exceptions of course) in Oct 05, the backlog does seem to have decreased.
Thanks for the info BigIron, it looks like I have to be free of meds for 12 months before they'll accept me. I stopped taking my adderall the same day I looked at the waiver guide, so it'll be at least 12 months (-one week) till I'll get in.
