I recently underwent a 100% UA at my unit. The test will come back positive for an amphetamine. I am prescribed it by my civilian doctor, so I am not worried about any repercussions per say relating to a positive test since I have the prescription that is authorized in the DEA Controlled Substance list. My question is the timeline and what the procedure is afterwards. My biggest worry is that since due to my civilian job I travel a lot. The next two weeks following the test I will be out of town unavailable. Do I receive a call then immediately have to report to the CO or given a few days or next drill weekend? That's my dilemma since if it's an immediate thing then that would pretty difficult since I'll not be within driving distance but in Puerto Rico those two weeks. If it's next drill then of course that would be no problem.

In most states, when the test results come back, G1 will flag those that were positive and send a notification to the unit to submit a prescription or process for discharge.
If you email that prescription to your Readiness NCO now, you will save them and yourself some time.

Once the unit is notified of the positive DAT, they should call you immediately, but it could take a couple of months for the results to come back.
Once you are notified, you will have 30 days to provide the documentation back to the unit.
If the process hasn’t changed, there is a form your unit should send you that your dr will have to fill out.
