9 LANDSTUHL, Germany – Public health officials in Europe are concerned about a recent trend of service members who have taken a controlled substance prescription more than six months after it was prescribed, resulting in a positive urinalysis. Something that could be subject to disciplinary action.
“Department of Defense Instruction 1010.16, published in June 2020, specifies that a controlled substance prescription expires after six months and any controlled medication used without a valid prescription will be considered illegitimate,” said Col. Paul Kassebaum, the chief of the pharmacy at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. “Illegitimate use of a controlled substance is subject to disciplinary action.”
Service members undergo at least one random drug test per year.

Charles CQ Brown in a news release. More testing options will put flexibility in the hands of our Airmen where it belongs. … We know not all Airmen maintain their fitness the same way and may excel in different areas. Alternate components provide choices while still providing a mechanism to determine overall fitness.
