Tokan posted:They shouldn't have to be in the grey area about it. So many cases would be nonexistent (esp. for E-3 and below) if SECNAV made it clear that testing was available for it vs. infusing a false bravado in potential users about its testability. Spice is against the rules. What more needs to be said? Why should the chain of command go out of its way to prove or disprove anything? It's illegal. Don't do it, or if you're gonna do it, understand the consequences. I mean maybe I'm missing something here but it sounds like you're unhappy that the command hasn't made it 100% clear as to whether testing works for spice or not. Why should they? If you know it's not OK and you do it, and you get busted, I mean it's on you, after all. Again I got nothing against spice et al. personally but it's illegal so what is there to even discuss?

There's really no excuse, and the only people I've seen get caught smoking it got caught by being completely stupid, not because they were picked up in a random piss test or anything like that. What I don't get is how these guys get to this point. Did anybody sign up for the military without knowing that there was going to be a mountain of restrictions on behavior that the average citizen isn't subject to? Then again, the vast majority of underage drinking, smoking spice, assorted NJP'able offenses I've seen are from Marines who haven't started their class yet, so maybe it's just a bad case of idle hands.

No one said it was, because (once again) the rule wasn't the issue in contention; testability was. When you decided otherwise is beyond me. GHH - The spice girls? Are they getting booted for what it sounds like they're doing? Xing - Idle hands sounds about right. Friend of mine in the Corps was 'punished' for tampering with the radio equipment at Goodfellow by being given desk orders to Meade. He hated life, never having gotten to hit the field, and left instead of reupping at his EAOS with a bitter attitude towards the service. Do they still send you leathernecks over to Goodfellow after DLI? I know they changed it for us squids some time back.

They call them that because there were four of them getting adseped, and it all started with the carful of them getting caught with spice and a bong in the front seat, at the front gate; none of them are actually female, or gay, or anything like that. It is also worth noting that their company first sergeant (who happened to be staff duty that day, which is same as an OOD) was in a car DIRECTLY BEHIND THEIRS.

When joining, people have to consciously accept these rules, and say that they understand them. Just don't do it. Doesn't matter if they can test for it.

In a stroke of brilliance, one of the aforementioned spice girls earned himself a second NJP last weekend. As I understand it, somebody in the Army started ripping him for being in the Air Force. Granted, he's a Marine, but for reasons unknown he decided it would be a good idea to roll with it, proceeding to become very defensive about being in the Air Force and escalating it to violence. In the end, he and another Marine left the place in handcuffs, and at some point the soldier bit a guy in the head. Take that all with a grain of salt though. I'm patching the story together from details I've gotten from multiple sources. The saddest part of the whole thing is that this happened at the on-base BOSS installation, without the aid of alcohol.

I was there a long time ago and there wasn't poo poo to do in town at night except drink. It sounds like it hasn't changed much... Are the brothels still in operation? I was married at the time so I wasn't tempted, but the Air Force (mainly officers) was always getting busted with prostitutes.
