Drugs, Medical Waiver Process & Clearance

[not-me-3]

1. Is the clearance process for aviators the same as for civilians? Eg DOD workers. Or is it more/less lax, or having a different scope?

2. If an applicant had a medical waiver for a drug-related issues outside the scope of the SF86, the board would not see that, correct? Given selection, would the subsequent clearance process disqualify them based on drug use outside of the 7-year window?

2a. Clearance investigators have access to medical records, right?

2b. And can also give questions during the interview which extend beyond the 7-year window, right?

Thank you for your time.

Edit: To elaborate, I was taking study pills and the last LSD pop was incidental -- so study pills and .... 3x LSD use total

If it matters.

To elaborate, I have had 3 drug related hospital stays (2x amphetamine & 1x amphetamine/LSD). Time to scrap the flying dreams?

Is enlistment out of the picture?

I scored 70/9/7/9 2 years ago and have an engineering degree.

Maybe look into DOGE?

Past actions have consequences, I have never seen a person with a history half as bad as yours get in, probably time to look at other non-military options.

I had 2 ARIs before I joined. In Virginia, your body is considered a container, so when you drink underage you can get a ticket for possession. I was dumb and young, and had it happen twice.
My charges were dismissed and expunged.
I had to meet with psychologists at MEPS 3 times. At OCS, I had to meet with the DAPA twice.
All of this for underage possession of alcohol.
I have no idea how the med recruiting body would handle 3 drug hospitalizations.

Based on your post, the military isn’t for you. Not just Naval Aviation, or going enlisted - but the military entirely.

I don't know man. Every time I mess up with drugs I post here and you say this. I bet they let me in to enlist at least

Can't tell if you're trolling. You've gotten the advice you sought. Put your package in, and see how it goes.

Mods, I think this thread is done.

To clarify and prevent any confusion for anyone who reads this, any items that are expunged by a court are still visible to any federal agency background check or any civilian company who's employees hold federal licenses or need a security clearance.
