Your recruiter and MEPS will be current with regulations regarding possession of (I am assuming) something other than alcohol. Most likely you would require a moral waiver to enlist, if you are eligible, and you may not meet the criteria for a Secret Security Clearance, which is required for a Ranger of SF contract. Good luck and keep us posted on how things go.

If there is no more to it beyond what you have told us, it is not likely to be a problem. They probably will take a close look at it but this should not be a problem. To deny enlistment to every teen who had some low-level drug use would be to pretty much dry up the recruit pool!
When interviewed about it, stick to the bare facts.

RRDTm3 asks a valid question. Pot is one thing. Acid, Coke, Heroin, Ludes, RPG's?????

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.
