That ain't quite what you put in the first post. You were holding, you were loading the bowl. You got no one else to blame but yourself. Period.

Here's a comparison. Back when I hung with smokers, I'd tell them it was cool, but I'd leave the room, later, I'd go outside while they smoked. Eventually, I just quit hanging with smokers. Anything heavier, I was just gone.

"you're doing rails in the bathroom/y'all are dropping/rolling/whatever? It's cool, but I'm out."

I wasn't having any part of catching a charge and fucking up my life for something I wasn't involved in.

You played, now you're paying. You put yourself where you are, and no one else.

My thoughts exactly. Accountability, and Integrity come to mind here.

Ranger KW Driver,

I was explaining in more detail about the situation was all. I am paying for it now as I can see -taking full responsibility, but if possible I would like to turn my situation around and prove myself worthy. First things first, I need to get to MEPS.

Rangers/Army/Army Recruiters,

Update: I was contacted by the station commander regarding my enlistment. Since I can't get a moral waiver regarding my situation for normal enlistment, I was informed that the National Guard has a program called Active First. With this I was told that it is the same exact process as normal enlistment and that I could get what I wanted.

I don't know if it is a numbers game, but this seems like a loophole that I am not sure will get me what I want.

Can anyone shed any light onto this program and the track to get a slot at RASP?

Thank You,

EV22
