I was arrested for possession about 2 weeks ago and in my county someone 17 or 18,19 that is arrested is given the option of joining the military and having the charges dropped and removed from your records or face whatever the judge throws at you. I was curious if anyone else around here is in the military and is growing, or know the full consequences of growing in the military. Anyone have any information on the topic.

The consequences? Yeah don't do it. You have already got caught and you are essentially getting a second chance. You shoot yourself in the foot and get a bad conduct discharge you are fucked for life. My advice is quit while your ahead, do your service get out with some training and an honorable discharge and then start growing again.

how much was the possession for? Don't join the military for some bullshit charge. Just take your punishment. But when you say know the consequences of growing in the military, do you mean like growing in your closet at boot camp or what?

dont try and grow while your in the military... bad idea. Do like superfly said and youll be alright. Either that or take your punishment.. which will probably have you wishing you would have joined the military.

Well it was under an ounce, more around half. The case and everything seems to be taken care of, but in this small town I*m in, getting caught was actually a blessing. It got me out of my dead end job and away from the community college that would of toke forever for me to finish. Once the option for the military idea came into I really thought about it, and to only have to do it for 4 years, and get a degree from a much better school, as well as all the benefits the military receives.

The way I figured it though, was once I went through bootcamp and was stationed at a permanent location. Got an apartment off the base, where bills were seperate from housing expense, it would be alright.

Also the only reason I was arrested in the first place, was my passenger through it out the window when they were right behind us instead of tuckin it. In Georgia the driver is given the charges regardless of whose it is.

I do have experience with the military, and my advice is to not join and take your punishment and go on with life, less than an ounce in Georgia is a misdemeanor according to NORML....at first you'll never be able to afford an apartment on your military salary unless you're married with kids or have a few roommates, not somewhere that you would feel safe growing anyway, and you sure as hell wouldnt want to start a garden in a roommate situation unless you are living with people you can trust, and I dougt all your good friends are gonna move to whatever shithole you'll be stationed at...random drug testing in the military you will not be able to avoid...and if you ever get convicted of a crime while serving you will do the whole sentence that is given to you, no getting out early for good behavior...DO NOT let the judge scare you into doing something as stupid as joining the military when (if you havent been in alot of trouble before) you will more than likely get probation anyways...spend your money on a lawyer and do not use a public pretender...

Besides, if you join up, you will probably be shipped off somewhere and be living in a tent in the desert somewhere, or sleeping on a boat/sub with a dude above you and below, and you'll be wishing you would have gone to jail.

I do think that the military has alot of really good benefits for someone who really wants to join and take advantage of the different programs that they offer, but if you are forced to join you'll more than likely hate every minute of it...just a few of my thoughts, good luck

I can't imagine why you wouldn't Welcome any change, my friend. I wanna see it all come down. suck it down. flush it down....TOOL

Is the airforce that bad? Ha. I have an uncle in it, really enjoys it from what I know. He's been in 12-14years not sure, but has been to japan, italy, korean and some other places.

The situtation i*m in though is that the case is taken care of. My step-dad is a cop, his dad is a cop, his grand-dad was a cop, and i*m in a small town. So its getting taken care of, but there is NO oppurtunity in this place. I*ve got to do something. Where this is heading is I was just curious about the militaries policies towards marijuana and growing. If anyone had done it or any other information.
