The Air Force "demand reduction" program works like that. "Direct observation", whether there's probable cause or not, no ifs, ands, or buts. You report immediately when notified or are prosecuted under the UCMJ. Obviously I don't do drugs, but I still personally hate it because, being a reservist, when they pull me for the pee test I almost always have some hard to schedule class/training (i.e. Intel/tactics) going on during the UTAs that's going to make me NMR if I don't attend the class. And as luck would always have it, I've either already peed for the Doc (flight physical) or went to the bathroom immediately before I was notified. Another hour plus wasted because I don't have to go to the bathroom on command. Last time I drank probably 6-7 bottles of water/juice and really almost jacked myself up--not recommended. I'd actually prefer a blood test administered by a qualified technician (or at least that option If I don't have to go). As for the civilian job, much more humanely handled; the only time I've been tested was at the job interview (which, dumb me, showed up not having to use the restroom yet again, delaying the whole process). :drool:
