During college he made a very bad decision to smoking pot with friends he had at that time in his life. However, he said No more, went right into the local military office, sat down with the recruiter explained everything in truth, that’s when the real journey of his hopes and dreams started. He worked out everyday, several times with his recruiter. The recruiter had him on a strict diet, even made him wear body raps. The recruiter new when he smoke pot for the last time. The recruiter was pushing for him to hurry so to get in the next group going to basic training, I at that time personally went into the recruiter office to state my concerns that this might be to soon to take the physical. My don and I, was concerned that the drug would still show up. BUT he did what the recruiter told him to do. The recruiter said he believe my son would be okay , he even tested my son in his office giving a negative result! his asvab test score was 59, past everything except the drug test! The results were very low, however changed his life forever! Since then he has tried all branches with no hope no help. He is now 24 years old and still want to serve his country! He has no drug charges or felonies on his record, only failed Military drug test by a low result with the knowledge of his recruiter ! Policy States - " If it was a positive for alcohol on the initial DAT you are ineligible for military service for a period of 45 days from the date of the DAT. You can only retest on or after their 46th day following the initial test./ " He NEVER had this chance given to him, so since he is way past the 46th day can he re-take the test? Can he get a waiver?

He NEVER had this chance given to him, so since he is way past the 46th day can he re-take the test?

Can he get a waiver?
