I want to post this information here cause I know some of us were prior service or are on the service and is good to clarify the how the Armed forces test for steroids. Just help this guys out there that want to come in use or are using AAS while on uniform. The primary concern and first question is if they test for AAS, The answer is yes, But is not covered on the standard common drug screening conducted on a regular basis. I will point some very important causes that you may be request to test for steroids and what are the procedures for the Commanders to do so.
First the regulations that covers this drug test is AR-600-85 (ARMY) I don`t know for the Corps, Navy and Airforce you are more than welcome to add it in this thread if you know them.
On Paragraph 11–9. Special tests (this is what covers):
a. If a commander desires to test a Soldier’s urine for a drug that is not on the current test panel, the commander
will coordinate through the FTDTL and/or the local ASAP with the ACSAP to request the test. If the test is approved,
the request must be in writing to the respective FTDTL or AFIP, must list the requested drug(s) to test for, and must
accompany the specimen to AFIP. The specimen should be on its own chain of custody document using an AFIP Form
1323 (AFIP/Division of Forensics Toxicology – Toxicological Request Form). If the specimen is sent to or through the
FTDTL, the DD Form 2624 will be used.
b. If the commander desires to ensure that a Soldier is tested for one of the rotational drugs that the FTDTLs test a
percentage of all specimens for, the commander will submit the request in writing to the respective FTDTL, listing the
requested drug(s) to test for, with the specimen on its own chain of custody document.
c. All requests for steroid testing must be coordinated with ACSAP and the Ft. Meade FTDTL. Once approved, the
commander must send a memorandum requesting the test with one DD Form 2624 for one to 12 specimens submitted.
All specimens must contain at least 60 ml of urine. If a specimen is submitted for steroid testing, no other testing will
be performed on the specimen.
In other words if the Commaders has a suspicion or evidence that a Service Member is on use or posesion they can request the Special test.
Steroid testing ins`t automatic
WHY? is too expensive and after they get approval for the test and the requiere amount and process has meet the satndards mentioned above, Samples requiring steroid testing bypass the normal military testing system and get shipped to the sports testing lab at UCLA for analysis.
So if your concern is to get test DON`T GET COUGHT, or just dont tell anyone. If you live in military quarters be advice the Commander can request to Battlion or Brigade Commander for health and Wellfare inspection at any moment and anything found in your room will be use against you for disciplinary actions ex: art 15, bar to reelinst and chapter out, and remember will affected your record for furture jobs.
The only purpose of this thread is to advice Armed Forces members on what to espect if decied to use or are using AAS. Once again I will like to members or ex-members of the Corp,Navy or Air Force add their respective Regulations related to AAS.
