I think you misunderstand my point. There was really nothing wrong with the amount of information you provided, it is just a little unusual for someone to walk into your house and say, "Good morning, I am an ex-druggie". We all have a past of one kind or another but no one here is going to judge you for your past transgressions unless you want them to. The fact that you are going to be allowed to enlist means that you already have been granted a waiver for that past error in judgement and because of that I really think your recruiter has his facts wrong about your ability to get a clearance. The one good thing about the military is that you do not have to take someone's word for anything-there is a regulation or piece of paper for every administrative function that takes place. When you run up against a roadblock and cannot seem to get a straight answer or you get conflicting guidance ask to see the current regulation and you will be surprised as to what you can find out for yourself. Good luck.
