I was in the Marine Corps. from 05 - 09. After my 2006 deployment to ar ramadi I was an idiot for a couple months and drank. A lot. I got a summary court's martial for hazing, and 2 months later I got an NJP for a DUI on base. They started processing me out dishonorably. The day got a DUI driving in the gate is the last date that I have drank alcohol....ever...
I learned from the mistake, and I have pressed on. I showed that I could still be an asset so was allowed to extend probationary to Afghanistan. I went there as a Private and I left there as a meritorious Lance Corporal with plenty of combat awards. While none of that erases my past mistakes, I'm wondering if they might help.
It's been 5 years since my past incident and I have not had a drink of alcohol in a little under 5 years.
Does an 18x contract look like a no-go? What kind of steps can I take to pursue a special operations team? I have a bachelors in biology and am supposed to start Dental School next year, but my true desire is being back in a brotherhood and helping people who need help.
Does anyone have any advice for that?
