Police Officer Preparation & Law Enforcement Resource - Archive

I have my sight set on becoming a LEO and I just wanted to know if agencies will consider me as a potential hire.

25 years old
4 year B.S degree in political science
Will be entering the military next month(service will end in 2017)
clean record;never been involved with the Police

I also took part in petty theft while in college.

i experimented with marijuana 3 times(2005,2008,2011)
i tried to take several puffs but failed miserably since my lung rejected the smoke

I have never sold,bought, nor cultivated marijuana. I have never used any other drugs.

Your feedback and advice will be appreciated!

If you are asking now about how hireable you will be once you are discharged from the military in 2017 I think you question may be a bit premature. I think what happens between now and then may make a huge difference in how hireable you are.

how would it look if i were honorably discharged without any problems during my service?

well, it looks like you're scheduled to experiment with MJ again in 2014 and 2017 - you think your lungs will be up to it?
