I am going to have a blood test for drugs and alcohol in a month that will be administered by the are Army. Will they test for steroids ?

Nope. They only test for steriods if they have reason to believe that you are on them.

I think its the loose lips, sink ships thing... its hard to get illegal drugs so they think someone who wants them might be willing to give up national secrets to get some more of these drugs.

I think its similar rationale for keeping homosexuals out of the military, somehow they think a gay army man will give up more secrets to a male prostitute then a drunken sailor would give to a female hooker.

Most places only test for drugs that contain opium, cocaine, and marijuana and methamphetamines. Places of work usually do not test for the biproducts of steroids . Where the male prostitute came in I have no idea??
