The Navy is cracking down forward Sailors who cheat on their urinalysis ordeals and began prosecuting them early this year. The novel policy will not change testing processs but may ultimately result in jail time and a separation from the Navy.

According to Aviation Machinists Mate 2nd Class Cheryl Coburn assistant urinalysis program coordinator, National Naval Medical Center Bethesda, Md "The experiment is still standardized and random. on the contrary the use or possession of substances that mask mix with drugs use is now a violation of the [Uniformed collection of laws of Military Justice] ."

The modern policy also designates punishment for any Sailor who helps or has knowledge of another Sailor defeating a urinalysis. Sailors who have information about cheating should fare up their chain of command.

"It's simple, if you burst positive on a [urinalysis] you should master prosecuted," said Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Patricia Hazelrigg, assistant urinalysis program coordinator. "If you are caught trying to cheat the touchstone or know about somebody trying to cheat the ordeal and don't report it, you should also be prosecuted"

Another change in policy is the extremity of fiscal year sweep. This requires commands to example Sailors not tested during the year.

"Since the testing proces is random a people may not get picked to give a sample from first to last the course of the year," said Coburn "This strange policy assures that everyone in the command is ordealed at least once a year, and urinalysis be the effects will be posted privately in succession the Intranet and be available within a small in number days after testing."

Web-based reporting is mandatory for all Sailors attached to a non-deployed command and began Jan. 31 After that date, urinalysis springs will no longer be sent via naval message. Sailors will be able to check their inferences using Web-based reporting with the Alcohol and put drugs into Management Information Tracking System.
