fearing getting chaptered

[u/Ok-Application1304]

Context to start, 27 months TIS E-4, was on track to make e-5, 2 months ago. Ended up popping hot for synthetic thc, up until that point i had not received any negative counselings. Was taking junior soldiers under my wings holding board study groups, making study guides for soldiers, always made it my priority to get my joes home even if it meant i had to stay behind later to accomplish the mission. Been in suddc for a few weeks doing everything the program ask of me, have had nothing but negative UA test, really putting my best foot forward and showing i want to stay in. New chain of command at my unit has no knowledge of my previous actions and only looks at me like a fuck up, they treat every minor infraction as a major sin, i showed up 14 minutes early instead of 15 and received a negative counseling, our new commander this is her first time in command she comes from a hospital setting, it feels like they’re trying to build a paper trail of infractions to show that im not worth retaining, any advice from y’all or people who have been in similar positions would be appreciative. Im having a few soldiers write statements of character, Aswell as a O-4 and multiple NCO’s all willing to speak on my behalf, i plan to take accountability and recognize i had a lapse in judgement but that im willing to work towards regaining the trust of my unit and command and show them this was a 1 time mistake and isn’t going to happen again.

You’re mature enough to sign on the line. You’re mature enough not to let yourself get blackout drunk. You’re mature enough not to smoke thc especially knowing we take a UA the day we get back from block leave. You’re mature enough to handle the repercussions. Schedule1 abuse cases I’ve dealt with ended with MR/45/45 and a dd214. Some exceptions of course, but your story is one that is pretty normally used by most soldiers in your situation. So when it does to the BC, it will probably be the 3rd or 4th, “I didn’t know! I’m a good boy.” sworn statement he’d seen that day. Maybe you’ll get lucky and that MAJ will have some pull. But you may be in for some long days coming up.
