KBR and Blackwater are always hiring.
Last year, 21 special warfare sailors were discharged after failing drug tests. In 2002, positive tests forced out 32 sailors assigned to Naval Special Warfare.
General Order #1, it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
As far as drug use, I've not seen anyone caught on that, but considering how hard they're slamming people for a beer or two, I'd imagine that the consequences are more dire than normal.
The recitation of his form 20, as tiresome as it is boastful, speaks volumes in itself. Once I read that and note the contradiction between what he has said in his post 10 and subsequent posts, I don't need to read further to know his character.
Someone must have gone back over JRPerry's posting history and saw what I saw. Pretty rough stuff. Anyway, he's gone. He seemed unstable to me.
Well yes, they are getting kicked out.
What's this I used to hear about joining the army and being a man? I musta dreamed it.
This case is for steroids, though the journalist's writing might lead you to think it is for crack or heroin. It's just steroids.
The Navy has a zero-tolerance drug policy, and sailors caught using drugs usually are discharged
OK...well I have a "zero tolerance policy" to drug and alcohol use by our senate,congress, judicial and executive branches and feel that if any of them are caught using or abusing either they should be discharged and loose all benefits.
The military should NOT have to be tested for anything if the above mentioned are not !
Not if you pay them off.
Back in 73 or 74 at Udorn, I got busted by Thai Police after buying a "brick" of Thai sticks for 100 Baht ($5.00).
The cops drove me to my house where I got 35 dollars (700 Baht) in cash, and paid the cops.
They gave me back my weed, and left.
I had to move after that, because they kept stopping by for another "shakedown.
I'd rather get busted by the locals than have to face the Squadron Commander for an Article 15.
I figured......we "all" got busted , warned or reprimanded for using other than prescribed dosages over time. When you run , jump, dive, PT, stay awake for days , hump a 100 pound ruck , and move tons of ordnance by hand more often than not ......it makes 20 years in the NFL seem like childs play. Small injuries over time compound and to do what ya love you take risks. I turn 50 this year and albeit my mileage is low .....the sudden stops makes my body feel 75 years old at times. Those who do not make the ultimate sacrifice of life in defending their nation more than likely sacrifice their youth and long term health. These days more care and training is available but in my time it was how much, how fast, how accurate or how far. Sports nutrition should be a mandatory part of training our servicemen and women.
Steriods and or mixed suppliments was what I suspected at first......
Stay safe.....
Not hard to do. Here he is pontificating about the importance of character, just days before broadcasting his contempt for field grade officers and rationalizing insubordination and illicit drug use.
(Un)fortunately it is not the 70s anymore. I would not want to get caught nowadays.
Would be nice if that was still the exchange rate also. :)
I noticed that one when I went looking the other day.
When I saw it - I knew it was just a matter of time.
