Totally my buddy just joined and he smoked weed for 5 years before he quit for a month.

Assuming you've never been arrested for it... here's what you do... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND LIE! That came right out of my recruiters mouth when I joined. Don't let them talk you into changing your mind and in the long run, it's not that big of a deal. You would run into problems if you were trying to get a security clearance so just say nothing... and stick to your story!
BTW... And NO, you've never even had a toke to try it!

Depends on how far in the past, more than a couple of months is pretty safe, they have special tests that can detect it in your hair for a month, but they won't use that method, a standard urine test will be used.

yes, but depending on how many times you admit to may disqualify from certain jobs. If you have done it within the last 30 days prior to taking your physical you may pop positive. This will disqualify you. Good luck.

That would depend on how long in the past. If it doesn't show up on the tests, you're in the clear!

Oh, come on! I didn't serve in US army, I served somewhere else, but if you serve in Middle East or any other hot and sunny spot - you'll smoke it, even if you didn't, while you were civvy! :-))) Just remember - MP's can trace you only if you had a puff in previous 2-3 weeks.

So long as you can pass a piss test (circa two weeks after last time you've smoked), of course.

Yes, just don't smoke it now. They won't know about your past drug use unless it is still in your system.

Yes, but they will drug test you, so make sure you've been clean for at least 30 days when you go in.
Good luck!
