What Happens If You Are Tested Positive For Marijuana Right Before You Ship For Basic Training In The Guard?
Just as the question states, if one is tested positive for marijuana right before they ship then what happens to them? Both likely situations and max punishments.
YOU GET SENT BACK HOME. no criminal charges because you did not have it with you at the time. (hopefully) A friend of mine was in Atlanta she was ready to board the plane the next morning when they tested her she was positive for crank. she just came home and she was not allowed to go back.

You will be discharged from the Guard’s Delayed Entry Program and then you will require a waiver to get back in, and must wait 45 days to “pee in the bottle” again. Right now, the Guard is not approving many waivers for a positive drug test.

No real punishment. first offense is usually counseling. Although
with not even beeing in boot camp yet a dhd might be in store.

Actually it’s worse if it happens before you ship than after you’re done with training & out to a unit. At a unit it is as stated just counseling most times, but repeat offenses will get you a bad conduct discharge. Possession is a whole other ball game. It can also screw you on a security clearance, which you need for almost everything.
BEFORE you ship, it will DQ you. You can apply again later with a waiver. Don’t screw around though. As I understand it, weed cycles out of your urine/blood fairly quickly. Just stop a couple months before you ship. IF you are about to ship right now, call your recruiter & tell them some things have come up & you need to get a enw ship date in two months, you’re not backing out, you still want to go & you can set a date right now, but just need to put it off for 2 months. They should accomodate you. You really need to grow up & quit that crap though. I don’t care about the arguments about alcohol is worse or anything, it’s illegal & getting caught will screw you hard. The guard will pay for all kinds of education for you & do lots to help you out training wise. Don’t screw up the opportunity.
