ATTN: Sailors and Marines

[Ganryu]

I'm not sure if your commands have passed on the word, but they are now adding THG and Prohormones (Andro, etc) to the random drug tests. As it stands now, it is going to be a random WITHIN the random. This DOES NOT INCLUDE STEROIDS! The test is too expensive, and the Navy doesn't have the facilities to test for these (they send to UCLA or Syracuse if I remember correctly). They will do a steroid test if they have what they deem as probable cause (20 lb mass gain in a month, i.e.).

MAKE SURE that you go to your command, admit that you used the products BEFORE the ban took place, and get a Page 13 in your military record. This is BY FAR the easiest way to make sure you don't get popped if test positive.

I am in the Navy, and just heard this from a corpseman today. I am not sure about other branches. If I find out any more details, I will add them here.

Ooorah and Semper Fi.

couple of questions. first what is thg? would'nt testing for pro-hormones be the same or as close to testing for steroids? you heard this from a corpsman, isn't that a lower enlisted soldier? don't believe anything you hear until it comes directly from your chain of command. in the army we call those people barracks lawyers, they think they know it all and are happy to give out advice and it's usually bad advice.

The corpsman is doing all of the correspondence for his Chief (E7), who is the medical department head. I just verified the info with him. I don't understand what the difference is between the tests. Just wanted to pass on what I had heard. Good idea to take everything with a grain of salt, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared either.

Hey, good info... I just wanted to check and make damned sure... but you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that the navy doesn't test for steroids? I'm in the navy as well, just too nervous to do them cuz of the random tests...

corpsman are hardly the bottom of the barrel, i remember when i signed up i admitted to smoking weed before signing up and when i arrived at good ol' MCRD San Diego they tested me and it came back positive but since i had previously mentioned it they turned the other way.

Would be nice if the USMC fully supported and encouraged steroid use or at least did not ban it or punish for it. Long story short that is the reason i did not get in. Otherwise i could be wasting a few fuckers there now, instead of posting this crap.

That's not terribly bright on the part of the US government.

Let's see, massive, strong, aggressive people defending our country... seems kinda desirable to me. Hell, it should be an option box you can check on your enrollment forms and let's have US doctors administer the program.
