Hello everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. I am preparing my package for the September 2010 board and I am applying for SNA/SPECWAR/SWO. I am very confident about my package aside from 2 things. #1 I have a DUI on my record from my first week of college in 2006. #2 I admitted to marijuana use of 10-12 times from H.S. through freshman year of college. Judging from other posts I've read, I'm 99% sure these 2 things will keep me from getting selected anytime in the next couple of years, regardless of stellar test scores, good grades, references, etc. Can anyone please offer advice to help minimize these negative aspects? I would be unbelievably appreciative. Stats are listed below.
SNA/SPECWAR/SWO

Minor: Business Administration
GPA: 3.33
