It would look bad on you if you had a dishon. discharge. Plus all those veterans benefits will help down the road.
Needless to say as far as the drug thing goes, cut that sh^t out first. It's a damn expensive habit. I dont know how a 20 year old gets into 20000 bucks worth of debt but you need to cut cost like a mother ******. depending on how much you smoke thats an extra 20 dollars a week right there. cut off your cable, and move back on post if you're renting a place off base.
