I thought they tested for drugs in your medical? Isn't that what the urine sample is for?

No. They can tell alot about you health through your urine but they wont test for drugs. They dip a strip of paper into it and the colour the paper goes can tell them things about you (something like that)
Plus they have to tell you they are drug testing you.
It was like this when I joined but that was the Army but I would imagine it's the same

I thought that little strip thing was for diabetes. Made a bit of a mess when I pissed on mine, splashed a bit.. Surprised the doc took it back off me with his bare hands though, strange fellow...

Your probably right mate that it is for Diabetes. I just know it's not for drugs.

They test for salt levels, diabetes, health, iron, all sorts, and its not the colour of the urine, how bubbly, how smelly etc, its the chemicles that are in it. Do they actually check past medical records, because someone on here told me they only needed your docters details to put your new medical test into the records, confused
Please fill me in??

Haha Iv heard it all now
Yeah they stick the strip in your piss and if it doesnt change a certain colour it means your a-ok. I remember in my medical:
Doctor: I want you to fill that urine bottle (points to it over on table)
Me: What, from here?

If youre big enough to join the marines your big enough to turn around and say no to drink if you dont want it. There will be people who will get wrecked at every oportunity. This doesnt mean you have to. I can go out and still have a laugh and do stupid things without drinking.
