I reported my ex-boyfriend, who’s currently in the AROTC, to the local police department and FBI for his possession of illicit drugs and threats to commit an act of terrorism. An FBI officer followed up on my tip, requesting more information.

I screenshot conversations he had with his friends, using the password he gave me, admitting to using drugs. I also got in touch with his superiors where they asked me to submit those photos to them through e-mail.

A social worker I talked to claims nothing will happen to him and most likely he will be put on a watchlist. Will he be kicked out of ROTC? What will happen, most likely?

TL;DR: Ex in ROTC has history of drug use and plans to commit domestic terrorism, wondering what will happen to him.
 
I would reach out to his ROTC command. If you’re in the unit, or even if you arent, reach out to their unit staff if this is a concern. Integrity is important in ROTC, and everyone should be held to a higher standard than your “average” college student.

It must have been a shock to find out that your ex-boyfriend had been using drugs and planning a terrorist act all unbeknownst to you while you were in the relationship.
 
Let me first say that I am really against all illegal drugs and not exactly happy about legaliziation of marijuana. I understand reporting him because of threats of violence and or terrorism. Having said that, I dont understand why you would call the police and the Feds because he is doing drugs. Unless he is a threat to himself or someone else, (and yes just taking drugs is potentially harmfull to everyone around you) it seems like by notifiying the authorities, you are being vindictive and honestly at this point it is none of your business. Mabye the drug use and threat of terrorism go hand in hand in this circumstance so you cant report one without the other. Honestly, I just feel like you are trying to ruin the guy and since I dont know what you know, mabye he deserves it especially if he is involved with terrorism. Let just say, that your current boyfriend should keept his password to himself
 
I am curious why this person felt the need to post here.

Perhaps ex-boyfriend is on the forum, so she felt the need to rattle him up a bit on “his turf”.
 
1) I don’t have an obligation to respond to anyone on this thread nor follow-up with my posts.

2) I had to report his drug use because it ties in with the terrorism case. I won’t provide details but trust me on this. The FBI officer I talked to asked about that.

3) He was conspiring to commit acts of domestic terrorism. It doesn’t mean he has but only that he has an intention to. He explained to me being in the ROTC is the first step to realizing direct, violent political action.

I would have thought that since YOU first posted here asking questions, you might have an interest in following up and responding to the comments of others with some experience in these areas. I have to admit, the original post reminded me of the saying "hell hath no fury..." That being said, if he truly was in ROTC to obtain training for domestic terrorism purposes as you state, then reporting him was the correct path to take. The authorities can now determine how credible a threat he is and take appropriate action if they deem it necessary.

ROTC in 2019 = Fuggetaboutit. Its over. Look for a landscaping job. Maybe car wash. Uber is hiring.
ROTC in 2006 = Maybe the Army can overlook this one incident. Is GPA good?
ROTC in 1968 = Ex-boyfriend is already commissioned a 2nd Lt & is on his to South Vietnam. Might have a Bronze Star waiting when he lands in-country.
ROTC in 1951 = What are drugs? Ex-boyfriend is a 2nd Lt & on his way to South Korea.
 
Labrador, I do have an interest but most responses have been of people reacting to this post (like “wow”) which isn’t particularly helpful.

Still, just because I have an interest in this doesn’t mean I should respond or I have an obligation to. Also, what precipitated the break up was me learning of his criminal intent so it’s presumptive of you to insist I did it mainly out of vindictiveness.

This is a forum for/by people in ROTC, thought you could give me unique insight. I didn’t just pick this because he’s on here. I posted elsewhere, too.

FBI doesn't have "officers". They have "Special Agents". No, not just plain old "agents" like the rest of the federal government (Treasury, IRS, etc.), but "Special Agents". Thanks to J. Edgar Hoover.

Minor point on my behalf.
