Question by Chris: Intervention in lieu of conviction?
Hello,

I’m 23 years old and curious about my future chances of joining the military. About six months back I paid a visit to a local Navy recruiter and found that with a single drug-related misdemeanor (only offense at that time) I would be able to attempt enlistment one year after the incident. However, within the last three months I was arrested for deception to obtain a controlled substance. Thankfully I received “intervention in lieu of conviction.” This means that after a 1 year period I’ll have no felony on my record. Given I’ve had three (? maybe two) speeding tickets, the first misdemeanor (of the 3rd degree – “Drug Abuse” was the name of the charge), and now this – is there any hope in joining any branch of the military. I doubt I’ll be able to receive a security clearance despite my college education and 99 ASVAB score, but just wondering if I should have any hope in joining. Should I contact this recruiter again or will it be a waste of time? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Addiction Centers: Medicine or therapy? Medical schools consider whether key to addiction is more will power or medical intervention
For over a decade, the medical community has debated whether addiction is more of a mental problem that can be treated with talk therapy, spirituality and 12-step programs, or more of a physical problem, like diabetes, that requires continuing medical treatment and perhaps even medication. The 90’s were the “decade of the brain,” until the success of medications like Suboxone—used to treat …

Alcohol Abuse: Intervention S08-E09 Robby – Alcohol 03/03

Website: www.facebook.com Robby, a 30 year-old music prodigy from New Jersey, was once a successful hip hop and R&B musician, who wrote, produced for and performed with such famous acts as Will Smith and Jay-Z. Robby was a member of the Grammy-nominated R & B group City High. Robby’s success, however, allowed him to get caught up in the rock n’ roll lifestyle and he began drinking heavily and using drugs to mask the pain of his parents’ divorce and humiliation of his career downfall. Robby managed to drink his entire fortune away and is now living with his mother, virtually bankrupt, drinking up to a fifth of vodka and a case of malt liquor per day, and estranged from his girlfriend and their daughter, Lyric. Robby’s loved ones hope an intervention can give them back the talented, loving Robbie they used to know and get his career and his life back on track.
