I just feel like taking a load off so whoever wants to read something you may find a little interesting continue on.
I joined the USMC about 2 and a half years ago, for reasons which I seem to have forgotten. Since I have been in I've done more psychedelics than when I was out (I discovered psychedelics shortly before I joined). This of course makes it hard for me to connect to most people I work with.
Keep in mind, I'm not infantry, or any crazy shit like that. My job is metalsmith/welding. I work on aircraft parts and work in an air conditioned shop and it's really not that bad aside from the bullshit you have to put up with and the PT we have to do, which I hate.
Anyway, I'm probably going to be kicked out in the next month or two. For the last year and a half I have not been on the drug test roster, which of course means I get high on occasion and havnt really had to worry about it. I dont get high and go into work, or anything like that, and consider myself a responsible user. Anyway, a week ago I got a piss test for the first time in a year and a half and it was 3 days after I had smoked last. I've already come to terms with the chances that I'm going to pass are less than 50% and there's nothing I can do about it really. Failure in a piss test, especially in my line of work (airwing) results in other than honorable discharge, and sometimes, depending on your command, up to 30 days in the brig.
So, I wouldnt be surprised if, in the next few months I'm back to square one, back home and looking for a job. I'll probably just look for a welding job, which would probably make me more money than while I'm in, and I wont have to work for a gov't that I dont agree with.
I dont regret my choices in life, I just chalk them all up to an experience in life. What else do we have besides those experiences? I have a friend who popped for coke recently and is getting out soon as well, she seems to have gotten off fairly easily, but I doubt I'll get off quite as easy because I'm of a higher rank than she is.
Anyway, I dont know I just felt like telling...whoever reads this whats going on I guess. I cant tell hardly anyone about this, as of yet, because I dont know what the results will say or anything else.
If anyone has any questions comments feel free to give them.
