To Graduate from OIS I had to run 2 miles in under 17 minutes. They made sure I did this.

They wanted a JAG with particle physics skills, to validate their gas chromatograph and their mass spectrometer.

The THC in pee test was being questioned by civilian counsel.

If it was not judicially noticed as valid, dopers would stay in when they should be kicked out.

Morale in the Fleet is harmed by dopers who cause lethal accidents.

Readiness is a function of morale in the Fleet.

I got the job done at trial level, at Pearl (CMR) and at DC (COMA).

Once the Court of Military Appeals agreed the pee test was valid, there was no appeal to SCOTUS.

I was ready if there had been — member of SCOTUS Bar since 1985.

Anyhow Navy got rid of most of the dopers. Fleet was OK.

SECNAV was grateful.
