Welcome to SR Showtime
I'm not familiar with coke, but I know there's a lot of help with substance abuse problems in the armed forces - I know you'd like to keep it a secret, but don't you think it's better you spill the beans on yourself than it come out some other way?
You'll find a lot of support here too

coke is not for weening
Welcome Showtime,
As a recovering crack smoker I can tell you cocaine is not a "ween" drug nor is withdrawal life-threatening. It is psychologically addictive and I can't imagine any professional calling for a taper plan.
NJ has a huge recovery base, in both fellowship programs and outpatient groups. I highly recommend finding a local group, here is the NJ NA site:

good luck Showtime and keep us posted.

I don't have any experience with cocaine but I do have military experience.
You're kind of in a catch 22, asking for help from the military for an illegal substance will get you a discharge but it will get you treatment, your discharge will be general.
Getting caught in a drug screen will get you kicked out with a dishonorable discharge. You will still get treatment if you ask for it.
CA/NA will let you help yourself, let you stay in the military and if you escape the random drug testing you will probably be fine. CA/NA/AA are free and mostly anonymous. I have a few military friends who claim a pill addiction if anyone ever asks them why they go.
I'm just sharing my experience and a little of my knowledge.
Keep coming back, everyone here is very supportive.

Yup, no weening-cold turkey.
Then find someone to manage your money while you get involved with NA/AA. I also recomended learning a different response to the cravings. And if you don't have any money it will be much easier. Oh and incase I forgot to mention don't carry any MONEY!
Good luck, and I look forward to seeing you on Friday Night Fights.
