Hello,
Next year I will be joining an AFROTC detachment at a major university. On my application forms, I told them that I had never ever used drugs, which was the truth. However, after being declined from two selection boards, I was resigned to think that ROTC would never select me. As a result, I mistakenly tried marijuana once. It was undoubtedly the greatest mistake of my life, and I did not do it again, and have not since. Every day, I cringe at my stupidity for trying it.
Since then, I have been awarded a ROTC scholarship. I am firmly committed to a military career, but I don't want to live a life of lies, or bear the punishment of such being discovered. After discussing this issue with my parents, we decided that I will tell the head of the AFROTC Detachment (in person) at my July Orientation.
I understand that my scholarship is gone, and I really don't care if I ever see a dime of Gov't scholarship funds. All I want is to be able to stay part of the AFROTC detachment in some capacity.
Is there any chance I will be able to remain part of the AFROTC detachment?
If not, is there any chance I could join AROTC or NROTC? Or even some other form of commissioning?
Thank you for your time,
MI51
