In the fire dept, our rookies have a 1 year probation period when they come in. In that period they can be fired with cause, and there is little the union can do to protect them.
When the rookies come in, we usually suggest that they keep their nose clean and stay out of trouble (and that includes juicing).
Has our dept ever tested for juice? Nope, do they polygraph? Almost never. Do they check for rec-drugs? Always... Can they check for more in the future? Yup, and with the current media fueled steroid witch-hunt I would not be surprised to see random testing of rookies in the future.
Even if he's 99% sure there won't be any tests or poly's for juice, why take a chance at ruining what is probably his dream carreer? Probation isn't that long!
Just my 2 cents...
