I can tell you exactly what will happen......
You will get to the question on the application form that asks..."Have you ever..." and you will sit there for an hour and a half debating whether to put yes or no. These people don't know you so how would they ever find out. Maybe/maybe not. It is your choice.
You put YES feeling real good that you didn't lie about it, you press enter thinking you can move on to the next question.....WRONG. Another screen pops up. They want to know..When did you do it, why did you do it, where were you, what did you do it for, how did you feel when you were doing it and, of course, why did you do it. Not to mention do you think it should be legal and would you ever do it again.
Now after submitting the application you get a call concerning your admittance of trying marijuana. You are open and honest about what had happened 2 years prior and explain that it was a decision you regretted and would change it if you could. You were completely honest on your application, even with risk of not being admitted. You tell them that you fully understand everything USAFA stands for; integrity first, character, leadership, service, and how you embody all those characteristics. You explain your truthfulness is a testament to that and emphasize your desire to serve your country and how much you want to be an officer in the United States Air Force.
Now, I'm not saying this will happend to all applicants but it did in my daughter's case. She will be Recognized this week
