Unfortunately, I made some mistakes in my teenage years. I smoked marijuana a few times a month for 6 months on and off during grade 11. I stopped around halfway through the month of April, because I realized it would affect my future career path. I plan on applying for ROTP and I will be completely honest of course. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with gossip in high school... news travels quick, so people that I never talked to in some of my classes knew I smoked marijuana occasionally. I have 5 or so friends at school who smoked it with me and they are the only ones who knew that I had stopped. I understand that somewhere along the career of a pilot someone goes around asking my friends, family and employers certain questions regarding my past and more specifically, my past drug use. My unusual concern is that some people I knew that I didn't talk to that often probably don't know that I stopped. So if they're asked when I stopped, they might say I kept using it for months to come, which simply isn't true. But they might think it is.
Basically I'm worried that someone might say I kept using marijuana when they didn't know that I stopped. Does it matter if someone I rarely hung out with says I stopped in lets say september when I actually stopped in april, which is what I listed on the drug form?
Do the investigators ask specific questions about what month I stopped?
Also, I understand that there is a 6 month period where the forces want you to be marijuana free before applying. If only 5 months have passed when I apply for ROTP, what will they say?
Will they wait to send in my application or will they tell me I can't apply altogether? If they tell me to wait another X amount of months I'll miss the application period...
If the deadline for pilot application is november and I last smoked in april, how will this affect me? Can I still apply in time?
At what point in the application process is the drug sheet handed out?
Will this prevent me from getting a position?
If I apply for ROTP during first year university, are my chances of getting in dramatically reduced?
I know I made a huge mistake. Had I known how this would affect me, I would never have done it.
Thank you for all replies!
