MotivatorJames said:I have decided from the feedback you all have given me is that I am better off telling my OSO about this because it will eventually come back to me and bite me in the ass, but is anyone positive about whether or not a ONE-INSTANCE use of mushrooms(I dont know the scientific name for it) disqualifies you from PLC or Marine Corps Enlistment in general?

This is really kind of the same case as me. It's not that I straight up lied to him about it, it is just the fact that the whole marijuana issue was on my mind at the time of the interview, not the one thing I tried once back in highschool. Since I admitted to the pot use, my earliest possible contract date for PLC has been pushed back almost a year. I know you're supposed to tell them everything you've ever done in the past, but at the time even if I had remembered to say it I really wouldn't have considered it a "habitual use of a drug" or whatever you may call it; in other words saying it is very insignificant.SpeedyJ said:Did you say earlier that he asked you if you had used any other drugs and you said no? Technically you already lied and he is not going to be to happy to hear you admit it. There are plenty of good Marines who have tried shrooms, "forgot" to make mention of it and are fine. Myself, I believe honesty is the best policy. I answered truthfully and got a waiver. But I answered truthfully the first time he asked. I just hope you didn't dig yourself a hole you can't get out of. Just for your info, there is no damn polygraph, they don't test your hair to find out your drug use history, your not going to have a flashback half way through a flight and crash the plane or any of the other crap people try to tell you to scare you. When people tell you this stuff just use common sense. If it sounds far fetched, mostly likely it is. The Marine Corps has better things to do with there money.
