<p>I understand it is tested at inprocessing. </p>
<p>Note to the wise…last party drink (if at all) should be at least no less than a few days before inprocessing and then limit it to a drink not a drunk. </p>
<p>You don’t want to be denied admission because some alcohol remains in your system. </p>
<p>Don’t be stupid…you worked way too hard to get to the AFA.</p>
<p>well, since most of us are underaged...we shouldn't be drinking anyway :)</p>
<p>So just because I am curious how does this all happen. Drug and alcohol tests taken via blood... I kinda hate needles... hair, I don't have much, or are they waiting for us all with breathylyzers and drug dogs as we step out of the vehicles on I day lol?</p>
<p>urinalysis (sp)</p>
<p>Blood will be drawn on I-day too.</p>
<p>I hate getting blood drawn. They don't take much, cause then you'd really be tired your first day ;)</p>
<p>a lot of kids pass out.</p>
<p>a lot of kids pass out.</p>
<p>Wusses</p>
<p>Yes. But don't talk too soon...</p>
<p>I remember hiking the day after giving blood. I couldn't understand how my little brother was faster than me. :)</p>
<p>If you don't like getting stuck with needles, I-day won't be very fun. I somehow ended up with 6 shots, even though everything was current. A girl right by me started crying and another one passed out. Never too early to support your classmates. :) We had a pep talk before she continued on through all the lines.</p>
<p>haha.. poor red. yeah i tried running XC practice the day after giving blood... sucked</p>
<p>I honestly never remember having a problem with needles and getting blood drawn.</p>
<p>Have fun, my fellow EMTs have just been trained to take YOUR blood. ;) Enjoy.</p>
<p>Now, I fear for 2012!</p>
<p>I would too knowing who some of the people are! LOL. Glad their gone already. :)</p>
<p>Maybe a dumb question, but if our son is over 21 and had a beer two nights ago, that won't be a problem, will it? I am assuming this is for the underaged cadets......</p>
<p>I'm kind of confused, unless you show up with a BAC how can they test for prior alcohol use?</p>
<p>Should not be a problem.</p>
<p>The bigger problem, which obviously doesn't apply to 2012 at this time, is that the DoD will not enter into a legal contract with anyone over a certain BAC. If I remember correctly it was .04 at MEPS for us enlisted guys.</p>
<p>Best bet is to play it safe, and even if it is legal, don't drink for at least a day before. If you are under 21, DON'T DRINK!</p>
