Can the military do hair or blood drug test instead of urine test?

Can the military do hair or blood drug test instead of urine test? i heard that the military someone has to watch you pee like actually watch your dick. cant you just do a blood or hair test to avoid this awkward situation.

LOL…are you scared of showing your wee-wee to someone of the same sex?

Get used to it. You’ll be in a communal shower with 40-50 other guys, so you need to get over your shyness.

Also, hair and blood tests are expensive. Also, some drugs will not be present in hair or blood samples that would otherwise show up on a urine test. Urine is the way the body removes toxins and other chemicals not wanted by the body, so it’s a good barometer of what you’ve been ingesting or intaking into your body.

Some compounds will show up in hair and blood, but not enough to warrant its use widely. A mass spectrometer is used to test hair samples, but they are commonly used to test for heavy metal toxicity and a few specific types of drugs.

Urine will show most of the common drugs that people use on a recreational basis.

    Urine testing is the simplest, cheapest and most efficient testing.

    Hair testing does not exist. It is actually the testing of hair follicles which requires the somewhat painful removal of hair an root. Blood testing is viewed by the Courts as very invasive and is normally only allowed under the authority of a warrant.

    they can but they won’t. Doing drug tests via blood or hair is far more expensive than urine tests. The reason they do this bizarre thing is because people have come up with some amazing ways to cheat a urine tests. When I was in the navy, we heard stories of guys who would actually strap medical bags to themselves under their clothes and try to fit the cup with some pee from one of his clean friends! They used little plastic tubes that they would hold while they pretended to do it themselves. Its just like anything else. If enough people screw around, the rest of us have to pay the price.

    PS. If you think being watch as a guy is bad. Wait until some female officer is watching you try to hold a cup between your legs. =(

    Yes, but you don’t want to know where they get the blood and hair.
