drugs.... - Military Moves and Relocation

12-05-2005, 12:08 AM

Ok so when i tell people about my bf being in the navy someone always says something about them being bad into drugs, even though they have to take pee tests. And yes i will be the first to admit my bf had a drug problem before he left for bc but now i am just extremly worried because i dont want to be in a relationship like it was months before he left. I dont even know if i am able to talk about this kinda stuff on here. i just really need some support because i hate hearing that and it just scares me and i dont want to be in a household like that especailly with kids. I would love to hear some feedback on this. thanks yall so much.

Hmm....I haven't really heard too much about this. Anyone I have known to be in the Navy wasn't using drugs.

they have pee tests.. i have never heard of that... the stereotype is generally that sailors are drunks

not heard it. i'm sure some do use drugs but people love to exaggerate. you hear that all sailors cheat on their spouses too and are drunks, etc. etc.

Never heard of anything besides alcohol and sailors...seems to be the only problem over here atleast

I have seen sailors with drug problems. But those are the ones kicked out shortly there after. The random pee tests help with that....Usually, like everyone said, The stereotype is sailors and drinking and sailors and women. I dont believe in steretypes though because everyone is different. And even in the civilian world you have drug addicts, drinkers, those that cheat etc.

I have never heard anyone associate the military with drugs before. Yes I know of some guys in the service who do use drugs but they have been caught and put into programs. Yes everyonce in awhile you will come across some idiots who think they can do it and get away with it but for the most part they all get caught through their clean sweeps and are dealt with immediately.

I've heard that stereotype, but not about the drugs. But just like the civilian world, there's going to be people who do it. I've heard rumors and stories from DH, but nothing I've witnessed first-hand. Well, I take that back, I've been a witness to people doing stuff while in the service, but just the gateway drug.
