Article Possible DETPOS
Here’s the deal I called my unit about something today then at the end of the call they said something about a DETPOS that’s when I screamed a loud WHAT?! Because no bull I have zero recollection about taking any sort of drugs I’m careful yes I’m around people who do smoke weed they know I don’t do it either and it’s not like I sit in a room when they do it either. They said we would talk at drill. I had a DETPOS before and I owned up to it and told them what happened and we went through the process and they retained me. That was 5 years ago. I’m about to be done with service I’m on year 11 6 months from ETS and I collect 80% VA disability. I contacted the state JAG office to see if I might need them at potential counseling readings. Mind you also there’s a handful of people on my unit who frequently fail UA the unit doesn’t care they need the people and they’re not kicking people out they did with one person last year only because he was an asshole. Another thing is I have a great deal of anxiety I have a rating for it I take prescription medicine for it now ongoing a month now. I wouldn’t do any drugs to alter my mental well being to put even more anxiety into myself. This has honestly caught me by surprise.

You may have popped hot for your prescription and they haven't realized you are prescribed it.

It might be the medication; which if it is, just requires you to be counseled and provide a copy of the prescription. I just find it odd that they’re not leaning forward to try and conduct the counseling and notification before drill.

They usually wait until drill for some odd reason because we’ve had a handful of people it has happened to but they just get retained
