Cos I didn't want to threadjack
The only time it really sucked was while i was still in school... they tested by school & duty section. One week they called my school & duty section 1 twice. Then we got called up again the following week on a Wednesday I think.
Everyone: OK who are they trying to catch?
Someone: Well that should be the last for this week.
Me: No, there's 2 more days they can test us.
Urinalysis list for Friday: Section 1. <yep I was right>
By then our LPOs were pissed (no pun intended) and started yelling at the people testing us cos something wasn't right.... It turned out they had started using a new database and they forgot to put in the other 3 duty sections! O_o
After that it went normal again.
Oh but we did have one guy pop positive in school. He shrugged it off, saying "It's OK! My OTH will automatically turn into a General after x months, then it turns into an Honorable Discharge"
Turns out... when I got to my first ship I read a statement written by the MCPON about OTH (Other Than Honorable) discharges and drug use. To get an OTH upgraded ... it's not automatic, you have to request it. And ... in over 3 years they hadn't granted any request for personnel convicted of drug use. So yeah, that Honorable the kid was talking about? Never gonna happen.
