What is Fort Hoods policy referencing Soldiers remaining on active duty after a positive drug test?
I know of Soldiers throughout Fort Hood that seem to get chance, after chance, after chance. Lynch: The drug testing program is a battalion commanders program and commanders are required to test four percent of their units population every week. If an individual comes up positive, they must be referred to ASAP within five working days. Discharge receipts are initiated for a first-time offense and the appropriate authority decides if the individual will be allowed to remain in the Army. My husband and other members of his unit were called in shifts to watch a Soldier under the influence. Why are units allowed to do this without proper training? Where is ASAP influence? Ciotola: There could have been more specific guidance given to the Soldiers that were looking out for the individual; however, we are Soldiers and sometimes we get called in to look out for one another. If the issue was severe enough then he should have been taken to the hospital, but there may have been secondary issues
