OK, here's an interesting little factoid I hadn't seen before: Check out this chart, which shows which type of conduct waivers have been issued for different Service recruits over the last 5 years. Why do Marine recruits have 10x (!) the numbers of waivers for drugs as any other service? Are there really that many PFCs-to-be out there lighting up blunts, or is it just that the other Services aren't issuing many drug waivers? I find it hard to believe that given how hard up the Army is for warm bodies that they wouldn't be issuing the same sorts of drug waivers to the same cohort the Marines are, but I can't rule it out either.
Side question: If recruits do have a much higher incidence of drug use prior to entry, do enlisted Marines have higher rates of popping positive than troopers from other Services? It would seem like if one were true, then the other would be too.
Any recruiters out there with insight, or is this some kind of data anomaly?
