Hello, I have a question about my 3rd class medical and student pilot cert. About 6 years ago I failed a drug test in the militray. I got stupid one night at a party and had the bad idea to try it. Anyway, I got in trouble with the military for "unlawful use of a controlled substance." This happened through a summary court martial, which is I guess equivilant to a misdemeanor in the civilian world. I didn't get a dishonorable discharge or anything, but I'm worried about what I should put on my medical application. What I was charged with, though wrong of me in any case, is not a crime in the civilian world. So I guess my question is, should I list that under "other misdemeanors and felonies," even though it's not? I wasn't charged with anything other than failing the drug test... no possession, driving while under the influence, etc. This however does show up on an FBI fingerprint background, so I don't know what to do. Since I got in trouble 6 years ago, I haven't used any drugs or even drank. I'm a volunteer fire chief, so obviously I'm a trusted person, and I've been working for the same company constantly being promoted for 5 years. Please help me understand what to do so I can realize my life long dream of flying! Thank you!!
