What normally happens if you test positive on a random drug test in the army?
95% of the answers are correct in some way. You can get CDT’d at any given time. The results come back to the CO. Once he has them the guilty soldiers are either discharged from the Army instantly or given a second bite of the cherry and informed do it again and your out There is no detention given unless you are investigated for supplying with intent if you are one of the user who were caught. It does not depend on the type of drug you have in your system. Drugs are drugs. Why I say this is because when you are first tested you are quite clearly asked have you taken any drugs in the last 30 days, this means any drugs including prescribed drug by the MO, because these do show up on the test. As for getting re-tested, this will only happen if there is doubt or abnormality. Hope this clears that up.
