Military and Steroids...

[the small soldier]

What about all the blood they take for a class three flight physical or a special ops physical. Anybody know if they would check for aas during those?

that may be different, but if you're going special forces steroids are the last thing in the world you want to be on. Endurance is key and if you can't run , and for for A LONG TIME, you won't make it.

Hey Haz, I know ya from TSC (fmrmarineinbiz)! I was in the Marines four years myself, Honorable Discharge. I saw a good friend get an "other than honorable discharge" after getting busted for gear...same guy who turned me onto gear. EVERYBODY, including many officers knew the guy had to be on...I mean comon, he looked like it. He would have never been busted....however, he did something really stupid, and used the militarys' mail system to ship a large quantity ( a few cycles) to a couple of Sergeants in Okinawa Japan. Package (an empty stereo speaker) got x-rayed as most international packages do, tracked back to him, and he went to the brig (military jail for those not fam.). He got a lighter punishment, demoted in rank, and above mentioned discharge along with 6 months in the brig due to the fact that he was supplying to oh...about half of the guys in our company, including some officers. He passed on a few names in other words. He also claimed to have "found Jesus" while he served his time, and to be very sorry about what he'd done. Long story short though, I never once saw anyone get tested for gear. The Marines have a ZERO tolerance policy for ANY controlled substance, but you have to have very good suspicion, and it does cost quite a bit more to test for gear than the usual. The usual drug test where they test the large batches of urine, is only a "random" per batch test. In other words, on a handful of piss bottles are actually tested, UNLESS someone in your chain of command has a reason to have YOUR batch tested.

Yeah I know about the handful in the batch being tested but are you saying that a standard urinalysis test can show strands of gear? Sounds to me like that's what you're saying.

yeah i'm curious about the flight physical blood test... if they test abnormal testosterone levels. Just curious.
