My Husband just got back from a year over in afghan. and did cocaine behind my back for the first time and did too much so he was hospitalized and of course all of his higher ups found out. My question is whats going to happen to him?I’ve been hearing so many mixed things about this situation because hes never been in trouble before with the army or has had a drug problem. I just want some answers.

    he will be executed
    jk

  • Jessica:

    Even in basic training it’s a court-martial and then they got kicked out. I don’t know about once you’ve been to war though.

  • wilson:

    It depends, but there’s a decent chance he’ll get chaptered out.

  • mixedproduct:

    I imagine that there will be some ramifications, however I do believe that his “higher-ups” will try and get him some treatment. The VA has many social workers and therapists that help with these kinds of issues.

  • D D:

    I am so glad people like your lowlife husband are fighting for our country all high on drugs.

  • Šweet Šeppuku™ (??):

    He would have been dishonorably discharged back in the day, now they are hungry for people. They’ll probably dock his pay and he’ll lose rank and that will be the end of it.

  • Just saw your question:

    He will likely be discharge. The discharge will not be honorable. It is possible that he will be fined and/or even do jail time. Before being discharged he will be busted in rank.

    not sure, but if it was an army of hot chicks then spread the love and spread some legs..

  • Hightower:

    dishonored discharge, maybe?? wow, the military seems to bring out the bad in everyone or it could just be their true side unleashed 🙂

    just about everyone i know who went to the military came out with a drug or alcohol problem

  • Tyler:

    Well, most likely he will be shipped back to Miami, where he will meet Frank Lopez and start working for them in the cocaine business. Your husband will travel to Bolivia with someone named Omar Suerez to meet Alejandro Sosa. Alejandro kills Omar and will tell your husband he was bad. Your husband will then kill Frank and start running the cocaine business with Sosa. Then your husband will be sent to kill someone in NY, but fails because there was kids in the car. Sosa sends a hit squad up to Miami and the assassins and your husbands will fight to the death with a bunch of machine guns.

    What happens if the laboratory drug test is positive?

    according to the Army Soldier newsletter:
    link http://minister.defence.gov.au/news/armynews/editions/1094/features/feature01.htm

    All outcomes from the Army Illicit Drug Testing Program are administrative in nature. A member who returns a “positive” laboratory test result will be issued with a Termination Notice in accordance with the Defence (Personnel) Regulations 2002.
    Disciplinary action will not be taken against any member as a result of any positive illicit drug test under the Army’s Random and Targeted Urinalysis Drug Testing Program as the DFDA makes no provision for such a charge. However, any information subsequently discovered during the administrative process that indicates a civil offence (or an additional Service offence) may have been committed will be reported to the Military Police and may result in disciplinary action.

    Some Soldiers are saying that guys are getting second chances over there due to extreme stress. They will discharge for a second positive….I know someone that tested positive for speed twice and they shipped him back home with dishonor.

  • tricky510:

    Very likely it will be a discharge, that isn’t honorable

  • razzy:

    The military follows a zero tolerance policy. War doesn’t change that.

    They will ask him to get help for drugs before they discharge him, but he will be discharged with an other than honorable discharge.

  • Mr Puma:

    The least that will happen is an Article 15. The worst is Discharge under Other Than Honorable conditions and loss of all Federal benefits.
