The army can't stop you getting any job in civvie street. In saying that, an employer might want to see your discharge documents and the reason for your discharge may show on that. Other than that, the Army has nothing to do with you trying to find a job and they cannot influence anyone in this respect. Hope you do find something soon. Good Luck.
Reply:No the Army cannot stp you getting employment, how ever any prospective employer may ask to see your record of service which I presume would show an administrative discharge, how you explain that away is up to you.
Reply:The Army doesn't care.... a potential employer just needs to see the type of discharge that you got.
Reply:No, but it will be a problem if you apply for any job that requires security clearance such as police, civil service, MoD. When you are applying for a normal job just don't tell them why you were discharged.
Reply:Only if it is a civil service job or requires a security clearance
Reply:Not neccessarily but it can be quite difficult as it is on your record


and it may prove difficult in obtaining references
Reply:The US Army can't stop you, but it's up to the prospective employer when and if they ask for your DD-214 whether or not he will hire you. Hopefully you have a marketable specialty that an employer would over look your back ground in drug use. Hopefully you've cleaned youself up and got away from drugs.


Good luck.
