I Have a General Under Honorable Discharge for Drug Abuse From the Air Force What Jobs Can I Get?

Question by Devin: I have a General under honorable discharge for drug abuse from the air force what jobs can I get?
I was discharged from the Airforce in 2011. People say it is a hard battle to get your discharge upgraded. I was discharged for smoking spice one time and received a article 15. My dd214 only shows General Under Honorable for the discharge and Misconduct- Drug Abuse. I am loosing so many jobs over this piece of paper. I dont know what is better to omit I even served or to tell the truth and keep getting turned away. Is their anyone that has similar circumstances and has a decent job. Im also in school for surgical tech and Im starting to get worried that even my degree wont over shadow the fact that I was discharged this way.

Answer by citlaly a

Having symptoms of withdrawal is mainly what makes it hard for a patient to quit doing drugs on his own. Thus, medication that will be able to free the person from these symptoms would matter much. Another reason why medicines are needed for addiction treatment is because it brings the patient’s brain functioning back to normal. It also restores the body to its healthy state.
