One of my Army friends is telling me that his friend is being discharged from the Army for PASSING a drug test. This sounds absolutely retarded but is this a possibility or does there have to be more to the story?

More to the story.
As a former UPL, here's what happens:
If your test comes back positive, the Medical Review Officer (MRO) will look at your medical records to see if you have a valid prescription for whatever you popped hot for. If you do, then it ends there. If you don't, the results are sent back to your unit, and CID is automatically informed. They start a formal investigation.
A unit CAN flag you for a "Commander's Investigation" or "Law Enforcement Investigation" if there is any doubt as to a UA. However, any doubt would likely stay at the regional testing facility; they wouldn't tell a unit they didn't know for sure. Testing facilities send back either "Clear" or "Positive Result".
My guess is the "friend" is using the UA as a cover story for being booted for something totally unrelated.
