He will for sure have to wait until his legal matters are cleared up, and then possibly need waivers. When I called the recruiter to make our first appointment, the very first question he asked was, “Could he pass a drug screen today? If not, I’m not interested until he can.” I don’t know if that’s the way all recruiters work, but this guy didn’t even entertain anyone currently using. Good luck to your family. I hope everything works out and your son finds his way.

That is not at all unusual. There are no waivers for not passing a drug test.

He doesn't know if he should disclose this to the recruiter. He's hoping he would tell the judge he's being processed for recruitment to bring charges down to misdemenor before recrutement process is complete. Telling the recruiter would not be good for that reason? Because charges could be changed

All the best of luck to your son. It’s a good thing he told the recruiter because everything must be disclosed and omitting or lying in the recruitment process can result in immediate dismissal.

My heart goes out to you momma...seeing our children make bad choices is the so hard and them wanting to change that around can is what we can hope for. Seeing that your sons desire to to make it right is awesome and takes great courage, regardless of where it plays out for recruitment.
Hugs!
