In the USMC, when you first arrive at Parris Island or San Diego, you are drug tested during your in-processing.
Is it true that if you fail the drug test, you are automatically, no-questions-asked, given a dishonorable discharge and sent packing?
I'm supposed to be leaving for Parris Island on March 12 (ONE WEEK), and I'm really concerned right now because I was accidentally exposed to marijuana only a few days ago.
I don't know whether I should just cancel my USMC contract or roll the dice with fate next week with the USMC drug test.
If I get a dishonorable discharge, it will haunt me for the rest of my life--in fact, the old "joke" is that if you get a DD, you might as well pack up your bags and move to Canada because living in the USA is a headache when you have a DD.
Please help.
