Incorrect - during TIS they will only check for narcotics however during MEPS process they check for AAS as well.

No they do not, They do not check for AAS durring the meps process. Me, along with other numerous people I know have been mid cycle going through meps and a word was never said.

i was an army recruiter among many other details......i know what they test for at MEPs......however, once active duty if you are caught buying,selling,and/or possessing they will test you and add that to your string of charges......it is not too often that juicers are tested just under suspicion of use due to the cost of testing for aas

"DoD labs are equipped to test for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, LSD, opiates (including morphine and heroin), barbiturates and PCP. But not all samples are tested for all of these drugs.

Every sample gets tested for marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines, including ecstasy. Tests for other drugs are done at random on different schedules for each lab. Some laboratories do test every sample for every drug.

Commanders can request samples be tested for steroids. In this case, the samples are sent to the Olympic testing laboratory at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Commonly available substances such as golden seal and lasix are often touted as magical substances that can mask drugs in urine. In fact, they can make it easier to get caught. These substances are diuretics, so if they're taken before giving a urine sample they flush chemicals out of the body - right into the collection cup. Drugs are often more concentrated in the urine after a service member takes one of these substances."
