Your only 21, I can imagine your gaps are due to school and wouldn't be a problem anyway. If they are a problem, service as a military officer will more than cover them.

Would Military experence overthrow that."Respect for religion must be reestablished. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of public officials must be curtailed.

I was in the Navy, no obstacle courses for me until I went to the academy. Are you afraid of heights or something?"Respect for religion must be reestablished. Public debt should be reduced.

I smoked pot a couple times in high school. more than 20
I was wrote up for Reackless Driving once and it was lowered to careless in court
It took me 5 years to get through high school because I was lazy and didn't do my work.
All of this has changed since. I don't hang out with anyone from Highschool and currently maintain a 3.0 in college"In these modern times, many men are wounded for not having weapons or knowledge of their use."

Yea, your going to need to go in the military to have any shot. Call up the USMC and beg for an officer job but take an enlisment if you have to. As far as the heights go, get over it. It is the stop at the bottom that hurts the most

Of course with you smoking pot you will have some difficulites going into the military as well. But thats your choice whether you tell them or not. And thats your choice whether to attempt to go into LE or not also. Only advantage you will have going into the military is putting more time between your dope days, etc. Although if you slip up in the Military, you may screw your chances of getting into LE as well."An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded."

Bluntforcetrauma another advantage you can gain from the military is veterans preference( I have 5 points for dessert storm). If you are qualified they have to give you preference since every department I know of takes federal money. There are higher preferences then 5 points but that usually involves being wounded or disable which could disqualify you physically from being a cop. You could also join the Army as an MP and work your way to Criminal Investigation Division.
