Hey guys... I thought I'd make a topic about the risk one in the U.S. Armed Forces may encounter while doing AAS.

DOD directives as far as drug testing is concerned: I SUGGEST YOU READ THE WHOLE THING VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE CONSIDERING AAS!!!

A security clearance denied due to AAS (case appeal file): very interesting read

c. Explanation.
(1) Controlled substance. “Controlled substance”
means amphetamine, cocaine, heroin, lysergic acid
diethylamide, marijuana, methamphetamine, opium,
phencyclidine, and barbituric acid, including phenob
a r b i t a l a n d s e c o b a r b i t a l . “ C o n t r o l l e d s u b s t a n c e ”
a l s o m e a n s a n y s u b s t a n c e w h i c h i s i n c l u d e d i n
Schedules I through V established by the Controlled

(2) Possess. “Possess” means to exercise control
o f s o m e t h i n g . P o s s e s s i o n m a y b e d i r e c t p h y s i c a l
custody like holding an item in one’s hand, or it
may be constructive, as in the case of a person who
hides an item in a locker or car to which that person
may return to retrieve it. Possession must be knowing
and conscious. Possession inherently includes
the power or authority to preclude control by others.
It is possible, however, for more than one person to
p o s s e s s a n i t e m s i m u l t a n e o u s l y , a s w h e n s e v e r a l
people share control of an item. An accused may not
be convicted of possession of a controlled substance
IV-55
?37.c.(2)
if the accused did not know that the substance was
present under the accused’s control. Awareness of
the presence of a controlled substance may be inferred
from circumstantial evidence.
(3) Distribute. “Distribute” means to deliver to
the possession of another. “Deliver” means the actual,
constructive, or attempted transfer of an item,
whether or not there exists an agency relationship.
(4) Manufacture. “Manufacture” means the production,
preparation, propagation, compounding, or
p r o c e s s i n g o f a d r u g o r o t h e r s u b s t a n c e , e i t h e r
d i r e c t l y o r i n d i r e c t l y o r b y e x t r a c t i o n f r o m s u b -
stances of natural origin, or independently by means
of chemical synthesis or by a combination of extraction
and chemical synthesis, and includes any packaging
or repackaging of such substance or labeling
or relabeling of its container. “Production,” as used
in this subparagraph, includes the planting, cultivati
n g , g r o w i n g , o r h a r v e s t i n g o f a d r u g o r o t h e r
substance.
(5) Wrongfulness. To be punishable under Article
112a, possession, use, distribution, introduction, or
m a n u f a c t u r e o f a c o n t r o l l e d s u b s t a n c e m u s t b e
wrongful. Possession, use, distribution, introduction,
or manufacture of a controlled substance is wrongful
if it is without legal justification or authorization.
Possession, distribution, introduction, or manufacture
of a controlled substance is not wrongful if such
act or acts are: (A) done pursuant to legitimate law
enforcement activities (for example, an informant
who receives drugs as part of an undercover operation
is not in wrongful possession); (B) done by
authorized personnel in the performance of medical
duties; or (C) without knowledge of the contraband
nature of the substance (for example, a person who
possesses cocaine, but actually believes it to be sugar,
is not guilty of wrongful possession of cocaine).
Possession, use, distribution, introduction, or manufacture
of a controlled substance may be inferred to
be wrongful in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
The burden of going forward with evidence
with respect to any such exception in any courtmartial
or other proceeding under the code shall be
upon the person claiming its benefit. If such an issue
is raised by the evidence presented, then the burden
of proof is upon the United States to establish that
the use, possession, distribution, manufacture, or introduction
was wrongful.
(6) Intent to distribute. Intent to distribute may be
inferred from circumstantial evidence. Examples of
evidence which may tend to support an inference of
intent to distribute are: possession of a quantity of
substance in excess of that which one would be
likely to have for personal use; market value of the
substance; the manner in which the substance is
packaged; and that the accused is not a user of the
substance. On the other hand, evidence that the accused
is addicted to or is a heavy user of the substance
may tend to negate an inference of intent to
distribute.
(7) Certain amount. When a specific amount of a
controlled substance is believed to have been possessed,
distributed, introduced, or manufactured by
an accused, the specific amount should ordinarily be
alleged in the specification. It is not necessary to
allege a specific amount, however, and a specification
is sufficient if it alleges that an accused poss
e s s e d , d i s t r i b u t e d , i n t r o d u c e d , o r m a n u f a c t u r e d
“some,” “traces of,” or “an unknown quantity of” a
controlled substance.
(8) Missile launch facility. A “missile launch facility”
includes the place from which missiles are
fired and launch control facilities from which the
launch of a missile is initiated or controlled after
launch.
(9) Customs territory of the United States. “Customs
territory of the United States” includes only the
States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
(10) Use. “Use” means to inject, ingest, inhale, or
otherwise introduce into the human body, any controlled
substance. Knowledge of the presence of the
controlled substance is a required component of use.
Knowledge of the presence of the controlled substance
may be inferred from the presence of the
controlled substance in the accused’s body or from
other circumstantial evidence. This permissive inference
may be legally sufficient to satisfy the government’s
burden of proof as to knowledge.
(11) Deliberate ignorance. An accused who consciously
avoids knowledge of the presence of a controlled
substance or the contraband nature of the
substance is subject to the same criminal liability as
one who has actual knowledge.
d. Lesser included offenses.
(1) Wrongful possession of controlled substance.

First off thanks for bringing this to light. it all depends on your command. if you get caught using AAS it's up to your command if they want to punish you. The test for AAS is very expensive from what i understand, and they have to go out of their way to do it. I have known commanders to give the okay for AAS, especially overseas where it's hard to keep in shape due to the amount of missions ran (RNGR BATT) when you're hunting a HVT out of the wire for weeks at a time. I personally used them and no one could really tell because i was already pretty big and cut, not much room to grow just HUGE strength improvements. Yes i would caution against use of AAS in the military if you don't have to. It's not worth your career or that Dishonorable Discharge. I have failed a UA for something else, and it's not worth it. So in agreeance with Xamo i would caution against their use.
