Thread: Air Force drug tests

Their random tests do not test for steroids because it is too expensive. I've passed several But, that doesn't mean that if someone suspects that you're using, they won't give you a test for gear. Stay safe and talk to NO ONE about your supps. If they hear that you're using any supps at all they might be a prick about it, as the Air Force doesn't even let you consume energy drinks while in training status.

not sure but i know a guy in my gym got kicked out of the AF for testing pisitive for AAS use

would you mind asking him if it was just a random drug test or if his commander suspected him of use and ordered a steroid test specifically?

pretty sure its the latter

O ok cool. Well thanks.

Anyone else have information on the subject? This is extremely important to me to get the correct information about this.

As much as in pains me to say this! If you think they may test for it, is it worth your lively hood? Only you can answer that! I do not use any ilegal drugs, because i would not want to loose my job behind it. If i thought they may test me for steroids then I would not use them.

I just wanna get as informed as possible before I make any decision.

I know that if you represent the USAF in BB'ing competetions around the world they turn the blind eye. Just make sure you know when they are testing other wise. Wife is in the USAF, and I have made a couple connects in the gym. But for the regual AD soilder, I can't say...

Not going to say how I know however I will tell you that the entire military runs the same standard urinalysis, and NO steroids are not included. Matter of fact it's not even in the standard profile in your typical test and requires a seperate test to detect.

However all that being said, your Commander MAY order a specific test given probable cause which must be submitted and approved by JAG. And you will be coded diffrently on the test record. For example standard is "IR" or random, "PO" means probable cause. See that next to your name and you better start panicing, and I'll leave it at that.

Hope it helps man.

So, clearly I"m very confused. Anyone know for sure?

They DO NOT test unless given probable cause. Trust me, it take a lot to get tested. ESPECIALLY with budget cuts.
I have had my own SEVERE run ins with service legal, and didn't get tested.
If you put out, get shit done, do volunteer hours, and take care of others. Even if they have reason to think you are, they will hide it at most commands.

they only test for rec. drug's not AAS. If you got a dickhead supervisor and everyone in the squadron here's you talk about taking AAS they could test you for it but unlikely. They just don't want you doing crack and hanging around missiles.

I've been in for over 6 years, get test on average twice a year, and am usually on gear for at least one of them. You're good to go bro. I think the test costs a couple grand, so they're not gonna spend billions to test for steroid use. It's easier to spend a couple bucks to check for THC and whatnot, and show on paper that they're being proactive on drug enforcement. That's what it all boils down to really, checking that box that says they meet the requirements. I don't think they could give a fuck less otherwise haha. Good luck my dude.

I would think they would test you for everything if they are going to put a $40M jet in your control. But, I honestly can't say.

Pilots use uppers all the time...
I know a team buddy who just got back, and has video of one of the craziest flights I've heard of yet. Pilot literally hit BRUSH with the rotors in a canyon. Tree tops are one thing, brush is a whole other world of flying ability!

Ok, where do I begin....
Spec Ops isn't given GH,gear, or other enhancers, so why do pilots get them?

Here is how it goes... Pilot goes into medical, saying they are lethargic, so the results of an officer seeing a corpsman = what they ask for.

Pilot's get Provigil to help stay awake on long missions. This guy is talking about doing a cycle to get buff.

I remember when I went to basic there was some dumb asses who smoked weed before they came and got tested and had to leave. You get tested once in basic then maybe 1-2 times a year while on active.

But those tests don't include AAS.
Those are standard tests, looking for narcotics.

Just for the record, I am not a pilot and the AF does not supply me with drugs haha. I am Security Forces and I would just rather be bigger, stronger and faster than "the other guy"

You don't have to worry bro. Just don't give them a reason.

lol if you go to a real war zone youd be fucked without your meds.

My Father is a Senior Master SGT in the AF and he said they dont test for gear unless they have a good reason to and a good reason doesnt just mean being "much bigger" than the rest of the guys. They have to have a hard-on for you. Stay cool and just fly below to radar and you will be fine. Good luck bro.

Why? It's not like I'm incapable of operating without them, that's just retarded...haha. And you assume I haven't gone anywhere. I've been in for over one enlistment already, do you really think I haven't deployed? A lot of people in the military use performance enhancers, as well as a lot of pro athletes. Could Mark McGwire hit a ball without gear? Of course. Think before you post ridiculous things that you know nothing about. Btw, way to really add something to the thread.... Sorry OP, didn't mean to derail the thread, but I can't stand people that want to try to look tough on forums by adding garbage that has nothing to do with the topic.

Who in the AF is geared anyway? Everyone ive ever known who was AF was beanpole thin. If you blow up, they'll notice. if youre big to begin with but just got more cut, that may not raise too many flags.

IFBB Pro David Henry is in the airforce I'm sure they
Look the other way when it comes to him..lol

His Wiki page states he's a Tech Sgt. Anyone know if he's still deployed?

David Henry (bodybuilder) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And I found this interview on BB.com:

[ Q ] Wow! You're the only professional athlete who is also a currently active member of the armed forces.

Yeah, I've been active for nine years. I'm a weapons expediter for the Air Force. I lay out the work plan for my people: what munitions go where on aircraft. I'm in charge of the overall scheme of what needs to be done on the flight line.

[ Q ] Does your job interfere with your bodybuilding?

The shift that I'm on right now kind of does but doesn't. I get out early in the morning and I usually train right after work. But sometimes, man, you're just so tired that I have to catch some sleep and I wind up going to the gym later than I want to. But now I'm only going three days a week, and that leaves a lot of time for rest and recovery.

It's a little challenging, but it's not out of the range of what I'm used to. I'm used to all this and I've managed to survive after all these years with this hectic lifestyle. Throwing being a professional bodybuilder into the mix just adds another iron to the fire.

More on teh Interwebz...

Note: The interview was conducted several years ago.

Let me tell you something regulation have change, and it’s not to pensive for the government to test you, a lot of people think that there’s only one place where they can test for AAS now the military have their own facilities now so, if they want to test u it won’t take much and you test hot you will out so quick you won’t even notice.

They still don't.
I now work admin under an Admiral until I get a medical separation. As for Navy, I can tell you they are VERY reluctant to test anyone. I have seen a a case recently that came across his desk and after sitting in on a discussion learned how it goes... They would have had to send the sailor to an off installation to a PRIVATE lab to have the tests done. So they just sent him to a DRB instead of MAST.
I am CONUS btw... I can continue on how much your post smells like bullshit! I am terribly sorry if you have been told by your higher ups that they can test you that easily, but they've lied to you... Just like the service says they can test for spice. Bro, they lie... It is how they work. I can speak also from personal dealings with legal, that you are wrong.
