Well yes as it's an illegal drug, but it sounds like a military action.

Hello R:

If the punishment you COULD have received exceeded ONE year, then it was a felony, whether that WAS the punishment you received.

Is there a legal use ?

But yes, this was though the military, but with the little info you have provided it should be a felony

Actually there is a rightful use to use cocaine only as an undercover agent. I was told by my lawyer that it was a misdemeanor and I also applied for a job with a criminal background check and got hired. I did not put down I had a felony because I was told by my lawyer that it was my decision to put down my criminal history since it was a military offense. Also Wrongful use is not the same as possession. Not even CLOSE. This is how it happened I was 17 at the time I joined the air force graduated boot camp and was sent to medical school. I was 17 away from parents for the first time and in the air force felt like the top of the world. One night one of my roommates took out a little bag of coke and long story short I was stupid enough to take a few lines. Two weeks later my friend told his girlfriend and her being a model airman told on us and we got pee tested. Both of us where clean yet they interrogated us and we told on ourselves. I was young and ruined my career because of it. I have paid for what I did. I'm just looking for an answer if it's a felony or not many sources say it is but the other half say its not?

Hello again, R:

I was in the Navy at 17 too. Like you, I made some bad choices... You can overcome them, and live a good life.

I don't know IF there's a definitive answer to your question, because the comparison is like apples and oranges... Therefore, since in my view, the issue is clouded, you're going to have to make your own determination as to how you're going to respond to questions about your background. In so doing, you'll have to accept the possibility that those reviewing your background might not make the same distinctions you did. If so, you'll suffer the consequences. All that means, in the final analysis, is that you have to work a little harder than a guy who doesn't have your background...

Ok, then that's what you do.
