12. When I was released from the military...
under "other than honerable circumstances" I was told that I was a 'conflict of interest' to the Army. I was given an RE-3 discharge for drug/alcohol abuse that stemmed from my smoking a joint before a screening for pre-deployment readiness. When I finally signed my release papers, my XO told me that it was a disgrace to see a solider in the United States Army act in such treasonous ways. That if it were up to him, I would be serving time for my actions.

I was NOT going to Iraq. Plain and simple. If smoking a joint was the least bit I had to do to keep myself and my family safe, so be it. It has the propensity to affect my career life after college, however, oh well.

That said, I'm sure they have enough on me.
