never offerd help just giving an article 15. And with in that first week
seeing as how they didn't get me into asap right away I used drugs again
and cam up hot on a piss test. I was an army sgt went to iraq and I really
wana re sigh can I?

Answer
Look on your DD 214 for your RE code. I'm guessing its a 3 and that would mean the answer to your question is no.  The Army generally doesn't forgive NCO use of illegal narcotics once, much less twice.  If you are serious and have an RE code of less than 3, then go to a recruiter with your packet and see what he can do for you,  just don't be surprised when they say they can't do anything for you.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.

I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.
