^ I had a friend that got really strung out and was homeless because he got kicked out of his house because he was arrested. Some douche owed him money so gave him some watches instead, and then reported to the police that they were stolen from him by the kid, so he got charged with robbery. Once that was settled he was homeless and had no prospects so he saw a recruiter and joined the army.
He shot dope up until the day he left, even bringing some with him on the plane. They piss tested him at the start of boot camp and everyday he expected to get a call about failing the drug test and for him to pack his bags and go home. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and that call never came. He eventually started using wherever he was based out of, and when they noticed how much weight he lost and that he was fucking up he got kicked out. Now I wonder if he failed that last drug test or if they had enough evidence against him anyway that it wouldn't matter if he passed or failed, but I'm thinking he failed it that time, which is pretty odd.
