What is the name of your state? WA
I'm concerned for my stepson in the AF in Kansas.
He is 2 weeks away from the end of his term.
Last month OSI called him in for an interview concerning an investigation of 2 other individuals (also in AF)
Before the interview he was read his rights and asked if he wanted an attorney. He turned down the opportunity thinking he was just going to be asked questions about 2 other individuals.
During the interview (nearly 6 hours) he admitted to drug use 2 years ago, but not since. Not on the job and no distribution.
The day he was scheduled to head back home he was called in to legal and told that he was being placed on administrative hold.
The 2 other individuals have been taken off their duty and security clearances taken away. However, (during his hold) my stepson is still working with security clearance still intact.
Apparently legal is threatening a courts martial, loss of rank, security clearance and benefits along with up to 90 days in jail.
His military lawyer says there's not much he can do.
Is this true? Should he get a civilian lawyer?
Can he be "charged and jailed" on an admission to a couple of days of drug use 2 years ago?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
