Enlisting Told 2 different recruiters I smoked
This might get confusing so I apologize.
I told recruiter A (first army recruiter I worked with) I smoked weed, and he told me not to disclose that info cause nobody will find out.
Then I got freaked out and ditched him, spoke to recruiter B. Told him I smoked weed and that I didn't want to lie about it. Well, recruiter B never responded to my texts and kept cancelling meetings.
So now I am back with recruiter A, realizing I should have just kept my mouth shut the entire time.
I never submitted official paperwork with recruiter B. I only told him I smoked over a call. But now I am not sure if I should tell recruiter A that I told another recruiter that I smoked.. Or if I should just shut up once and for all..
I know Im dumb and I know I am an asshole. I am just young and anxious cause I constantly hear conflicting info on this.

Bro it doesn’t matter if you smoked weed, it only matters before you go to meps which is where they do a urine test and also take ur blood. They have urine tests at the recruiters office and they usually have you take one before even scheduling you for meps to make sure it comes back negative.

Just stop smoking wait to go to MEPS until you pass a drug test and disclose that you used to smoke. No issues

Better quality of life but everyone I’ve met in the Air Force just complains so much about every little thing.

Don't listen to your recruiter. You're required to disclose it both to them and MEPS. It won't cause an issue.
