I wish that there was a better program for the Reserves as you have to be on orders to get them into a program. One day does not help.

I have been a UPL for about 6 years. I have been lucky to be in small units so the 4% or 10% requirements have never been that time consuming. Once I did a 100% with a another SM. We each did about 55 specimen in 3 hours. After he was done the BN UPL asked him for his card. Well his was expired and so the BN dumped all the specimen including mine. That is the last time I did a test without seeing a UPL's card.
