That's crazy. 0.01? I think you can get that by just driving by a liquor store. When I was in you could to the club for lunch and they would let you have two beers with your meal while you were on duty.

I don't know what the current practice is but we used to have drug screen and breathalyzer tests in the Army.

Quoted:
I think ANYONE that I pay the salary of should be randomly screened for drugs and alcohol. I am their employer, as are you. Military, welfare recipients, representatives, and the President himself. Or anyone who by any shape or form receives subsidies or has access to anything public. Just wouldn't be fair eh there comrade? |

Quoted:
I have no problem doing random alcohol and drug screens on our troops...makes sense. However, I wonder why we are able to get this approved, but if you bring up drug and alcohol testing those that receive welfare or food stamps, it just gets pushed aside or laughed at. (They usually say it's against their right to privacy). I think ANYONE that I pay the salary of should be randomly screened for drugs and alcohol. I am their employer, as are you. Military, welfare recipients, representatives, and the President himself. Marines to be randomly tested for alcohol. Boot. Paying taxes does NOT make you their employer, nor even mean you pay their salary. |

Quoted:

I have to assume they are doing this while the Marines are on duty or in a theater where drinking is not allowed. If so, I don't have too much of a problem with it. I will say the pencil pushing desk jockeys have way too much time on their hands if this is what they are worried about. |

I'm sure this pertains to on-duty violators. On the Air Wing side of the house, maintainers coming in drunk and turning wrenches on jets and helos is never a good thing. too much at stake.

Well.....
As a Devil Dog I will say this- Don't go on duty w alcohol in your system.. I remember lots of times while in schools coming back on Sunday afternoon and guys being sooooo drunk that they could barely stand in formation. :-). Or back from Libo in port - man that was worse... ( I bet it is talking about during Duty Hours ) Either way, drinking in the barracks is a norm. I have done some retarded things while drinking in the barracks myself. |
