I was hoping to reclass to 25D from 11B after my time on the trail. I believe I meet all qualifications except one, back 2014 I received an AR15 for the consumption of oxycodone. It was an experimental use and I suffered the consequence, although I did keep my secret clearance and even was able to resubmit and I'm not sure I will get the TS SCI mainly due to the fact that I simply don't really remember how the drug incident fully happened. On the previous interview I think I might have not told the actual story. I don't want to do another interview and have 3 different stories and get denied based on inaccurate information. Any advice is appreciated.

DS Smith,
Honesty goes a long way, by telling the true you may be able to get thru the system, they look at it as you made a mistake bit at least you are owning that you messed up. It doesn't hurt to let them know that what you did was stupid and reassure them that it won't happen again and that you want to make it right. Good Luck.

I've seen some messed up things get through an TS/SCI investigation because the person owned up to the entire thing. All I can guess is that the investigator and adjudicating authority really must have determined that there was no possibility of blackmail, extortion, or embarrassment to the guy. IOW, no security risk.

If you can't obtain a TS then you aren't eligible for 25D

First of all you are coming from a Combat MOS, unless you are coming with a Bachelors Degree on Computer/Networking related area; second thing is, who is going to recommend you? I find it pretty hard to get accepted...but good luck!
