Sorry guys you are wrong. The military does in fact, test for steroids. And they do not have to single you out for it. That is a half-myth. If the commander has probable cause to suspect you're on roids, then he/she can get a warrant for room search (barracks personnel) if nothing is found but a warrant was issued, that warrant will most likely state the commanders option to test urine. In which case u will be subjected to take a test and if found positive, you can be put through UCMJ. Also, if the CO has not enough evidence to price his or her accusation of roid use, then he/she can ask you for a search and/or urine test. If u agree to piss and pop hot, you can be involuntary separated from the military. BUT.. Your condition of discharge (honorable, general or other than honorable) will not be decided based off the results of your UA. Your discharge will reflect your military record absent the UA. Then there is the random UA. The commander has the option of authorizing a roid test and in that case, the samples will be sent to a different lab and undergo thorough testing to determine if the roid use us of heavy use, light use and they can determine what you have been taking. Do any of you actually think the research labs are just military ppl? They're mainly civilians who do this for a living and know the chemical make up for a variety of roids. Ya'll should really do some research on this before blurting out myth answers ya'll hear from PNN. The only time most units pay a large sum of money for a UA, is when its specific. And the "random" testing protects the co from pointing out individuals they suspect of any drug use.
