At my VA physical earlier this week, I was asked if my military experiences were causing me to have nightmares. I do not remember the last time I had a nightmare. (Ah, my second marriage LOL)
I was looking over the good Doctor's shoulder and noticed he was typing in a scheduled urinalysis. I did not think much about it, until I saw him checking "Cocaine Alkaloids", "Cannabinoids", and "Opiates", among other things.
I am not into drugs, but it was obvious I was being scheduled for a drug test.
This does not bother me, but my question is;
Are other folks on this forum under VA care being drug tested?
The obvious thing on my mind is, if I were to say that the "rigors of military service" still caused me to have nightmares, or if I tested Positive for Illegal Drugs, where would that info go, and would the BATFE get the info and classify me as a Prohibited Person?
Apparently, the drug test was mandatory for me to stay under VA care. I gave the sample without comment. Others might have reason to refuse.
It seemed this was shooting related.
