Not that this would be an issue for me, but when I went for my class III medical last year, they only checked for diabetes in the urine. No, they checked for the presence of reducing sugars... I'm trying not to be pedantic but my flight instructor insists that I strive for precision :-) Cheers MarkC ------------ And now a word from our sponsor ------------------ Do your users want the best web-email gateway?

We had an employee that failed for cocaine on a Tuesday and admitted to me that he had used it Sunday afternoon. He thought it was strange though that we caught him because the day before his FEDERAL probation officer had tested him with the little instant read cups on Monday and he passed. So he's now going to jail for probation violation? Cheers |

His PO also never called to ask why he got fired. Your tax dollars at work. |

3rd class medical urinalysis?
I always drink extra coffee before the medical. I'd be terribly embarrassed to have no pulse (not to mention that it might be disqualifying), and coffee really gets my heart going. Coffee and the caffeine it contains can raise blood pressure and cause diuresis. Now who to copy if I ever want to pose as a humorless schmuck! Blame me. I didn't include an "emoticon" for the literally challenged. Of course, I also don't reply to that particular poster, so that those of us with kill files even saw that abuse of electrons is your fault. You're hereby docked one coffee flagon. - Andrew No, Andrew, it wasn't you. Besides, you used one of my favorite lines. Peter :-) |

Hi Finn Sounds interesting, what's a random program that uses a USCG license? Cheers MarkC Mark, in order to use a USCG capt license, one must be enrolled in a random drug program. I use a company called American Professional Captains Assoc Drug Consortium, (APCA) out of St Pete, FL. Coincidently I got my renewal notice in the mail today. Cost is $49/ yr. On the form it says: "USCG requires that every licensed mariner operating under his license to be covered by a random drug program. This may be either company operated or provided by a USCG approved random drug consortium, such as APCA" From what I understand the company must check at least 50% of 'members' in any one year. Hope that answers your question. thx. |

When I was in high school the student bathrooms seemed to vent into the gym teachers office. They had to abandon their offices during lunch periods because they ended up too high to teach their next classes. Yeh right. Toilets venting into teachers offices? LOL If this story has a grain of truth I'd imagine that is simply that they wanted any excuse not to teach the brats... The concentration of smoke in a typical room is so low (as compared to that in the smokers lungs - which already filtered out a lot of the THC) you simply can't get high that way and that is also why you don't test positive on a drug screen. This has been medically tested... Good urban myth story tho' Cheers |
