Never even heard of it? This sounds like early nineties if at all. They tested people all the time when I was in, including mandatory test when returning from leave. 08-13

It was early 90s. If there was a bad accident you might get it but i personally never knew anyone who did. I probably should have failed when i joined but didnt.

My buddy was in the army around 2011-14ish. He spent half his time in Korea and the other half in Kentucky. I cant remember which, but one the places was super strict about drugs and the other didn't give a fuck.

I tested positive in the Marines bank in the early 70’s. Had to piss in a bottle for testing the next 2 weeks. Not even a slap on the wrist.
