Okay so i has an interview with afrotc they ask me had i smoked weed i said no because i wasnt goin to admit to somethin i hadnt done.. so then they asj have you done somethin illegal and i said yes ( not knowing weed would of been a better answer) so they asked me what i had an i said i didnt kno and thats the honest truth i dont know what it was. I then sent in an affadavid saying i didnt kno what it was but i would never do it again. So where does this leave me? am i screwed or am i still okay?? the interview part went well... and even if i dont get an afrotc scholarship i still want to join the military i donno what branch tho so how does me smoking something an not knowing what it is effect my chances.? should i just always say i didnt know what it was or should i just say i never smoked. My biggest fear is that they give me a lie detector test and i get busted .. although if i did have one i really dont know what i smoked an it could prove that. so what do i do??? .... also how does bein an officer in the military compare with enlisted?? and does anyone have any info on the reserves because i do plan on attending college... IM not a bad person i mean everyone makes a mistake and when they asked me how i felt about mstakes i said im glad i made it in high school when it was less serious than when i had so much to loose. i mean to do somethin wrong it requires the desire or jus curiousity and since i have neither ( i never had desire) i ahve learned my lesson but anyways any advice? does one mistake disqualify me 4 certain positions? or from not on should i keep that lil bit to myself?
 
You could go and try to explain the situation to the cadre but I'm curious as to why you would have answered "Yes" to having done anything illegal. They might not say it out right but when they ask that question they're not really talking about jaywalking...You'd know if you'd done something ILLEGAL. That was kind of a dumb position to put yourself in.

no clue where to go with this.......just be honest and talk to your local recruiters, they can tell you exactly what you qualify for
