I was informed that I was ineligible for both the ROTC and OTS programs. However there is a chance to enlist and use SOAR, LEAD, ASCP to get a commission.

So does this reg apply to current or prospective officers? And does it apply to prospective ROTC applicants? Maybe it's just me but the wording seems to imply that if you are an officer and "illegally, wrongfully, or improperly..." then you're screwed but if it took place before you even joined an ROTC program and you no longer participate in any drug related activities then you're fine. I'm visiting my local det in a few days to go over this very issue. On occasion I smoked during my senior year in high school and summer following. I never smoked habitually and I never owned or bought any drug paraphernalia. All together I'd estimate that I've smoked more than 10 times but less than 15. Unfortunately I can't pull the "i've matured" card since it was really less than a year ago. On the other hand I live in California where marijuana was nearly legalized just this last year, but even it is was legalized the air force is a federal organization so fed law would trump state law 10 times out of 10. Personally I doubt I'm going to be accepted into the AFROTC program but what do you guys think?
