long story short, because I told MEPS i smoked weed (first mistake I know) I lost my thirty thousand dollar bonus due to telling the truth. How messed up is that? Why did I sign that damn contract?

How messed up that you smoked weed? Meh.
Why did you sign? I dunno. Is it because you Don't have anything better going on than smoking weed?

Should have listened to your Recruiter.

BLUF, the Army wants a perfect physical specimen more than they want the truth about someone.

It flies in the face of our values but, you have to understand the system. It's not just MEPS. It'll be throughout your time in the Army. Just a bit of advice.

So do most police agencies, many firefighters, CIA, FBI, and other acronyms. Most of the time people are their own worst enemy and disqualify themselves. It is not just the Army.

But Tommy you didn't get boned, YOU boned yourself.

The more important question is why did you smoke weed when you should have known it would cost you $30,000 to do so? It was not telling the truth that cost you, it was the weed.
