If the Army is serious about integrity in meeting fitness standards, why not address steroid use with soldiers?

i might be missing the mark, if they need bad asses who are ready to fight, let the roids carry on. like it matters either way the VA will drop the medical like a hot rock.

Your saying they do not address this?
It was a tested substance when I retired Dec 31 2013, It was a substance a commander could request be tested for on a command directed UA, it is a substance CID actively investigates.

Your post almost implies, steroid use is an accepted norm or actually encouraged.. And I find that way off the mark.

Steroids make big muscles. The Army likes big muscles. Ergo the Army likes steroids.
