As far a beating a drug test goes, yes most any recruiter will help you do what you can to get drugs out of your system. But I do not see anything wrong with this. You explain to the recruit that the military has a zero tolerance policy on drug use, and that if they are caught once they are in they will be discharged in an other than honorable status. But helping them get clean, so that they can turn over a new leaf and begin thier new life of service to country, in my mind is very honorable. In amany cases you are helping this kid get off the street, out of the ghetto, and on to a better life. I see no wrong in that. It's not cheating the urinalysis, because quite simply, that's impossible. What it is, is helping someone to clean up thier act. | What it is... is helping someone scam a test to help dropping recruitment rates. The military is desperate. | No no, the ARMY is desperate. The Navy is downsizing and the Marines are very selective. The Army is trying to grow a lot, real quick.
I still don't think it's scaming the test, it's preparing for it. There is no way to scam a military urinalysis. I am a Navy urinalysis coordinator, our tests are as close to fool proof as possible. | Then why was a recruiter helping someone pass a test who was an admitted marijuana abuser. It doesn't add up tadpole. |
