Question by : AirForce Form and Recruiting Question?
Straight to the point. I really want to join the AirForce,

lets say i put i have never did or tried marijuana on this form (or tell my recruiter.)

I write down that i havent. But i tryed it out twice, did it 6 years ago.. and Theres no record or trace of it whatsoever.

The form however, reads “you must be totally honest in completing this form” also reads “should i conceal any drug or alcohol abuse info and if discovered later, punitive action may be taken against you based upon the false info you provided.

followed by drug questions.

Question on form reads “have you ever used or experimented with marijuana.”

1) If i say no i havent, What do you think or know what they will do to me if they find out later?

Question by sweetheartz21: Why does my mom think I’m an alcoholic?
First off, I want to let you know I am almost 23. I moved out of my parents house a few years ago and since my husband joined the military (he left for Basic Training a month ago); I’ve had to move back in. I’m more than happy to not have to worry about bills and such; but, I’m starting to wonder if any of this is affecting me. Twice in the past week, I’ve gone out to hang out with friends; which ended up in me staying over at their place for the night because I didn’t want to drive home drunk (my parents house is 17 miles away). The catch: my mom is convinced I need to go to an AA meeting because I’ve become “such an alcoholic that (I) could kill (myself) from drinking so much”. This is the first time since I turned 21 that I’ve gone out and partied, by the way. Honestly, I feel I need to spend as much time with my best friends before my husband and I get stationed to a new base because I’m scared I won’t make any friends where we get stationed. I also feel I need to live my youthful years to their fullest since once my husband gets home from his 3 month training, I’ll have to become a responsible, rule-following military wife (hopefully, I’m not offending any military wives; I don’t really know how I’ll need to act once we get stationed at our first base). So tell me, do you think me getting drunk twice in a week makes me an alcoholic???

Question by : Premises and Conclusion?
many mental health practitioners are promoting the notion that alcohol abuse, drug abuse, over-eating, gambling, anorexia, bulimia and smoking are diseases. By using the disease model, its proponents believe that people are more apt to seek help because having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder.

Best answer:

Answer by David Gallagher
If it is the true opinion of “its proponents [that] having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder,” then there is no problem with this paragraph. It’s proponents have an opinion, and opinions are neither right nor wrong, except where you can argue against it. The purpose of this paragraph is not to argue, but to state the opinion of “the many mental health practitioners.”

The premises and the conclusion of those people are neither right, nor wrong, in the context of a simple explanation of their opinion.
