How often are you randomly selected for urinalysis?

I just got selected this week for our random urinalysis, a SGM there said it was his 7th straight time. At one of my previous units a COL was tested every test we had while he was assigned to us. How often are you selected?

Sounds like you have a good COL & SGM there LTC Private RallyPoint Member, I also show support to the Company Commander by participating in these if I am on the roster or not....Always an opportunity to reach someone, you have to keep yourself open and available, it might just be one of the others at the urinalysis that needs to talk to you.

One time it was 10/100 X 10/100 X 10/100 so the probability of three 10% in a row was 1/1000.

Operation Golden Flow was ship wide after leaving an overseas port. Other than that I rarely had my "number" called while on sea duty.
Shore side i ended up being an observer (yay me) a lot more than being a participant. Though it always seemed my "number" came up after returning from leave.

I am "randomly selected" for a "mandatory appointment" coincidentally when I return from leave. I did it twice when coming back from Thailand. What a coincidence!

Random is a very subjective word. What could be random for some, is different than the other person that is randomly chosen every month.
