[speaker001:] okay well in the organized I'm with Department of Defense and uh we have random drug testing
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh the last couple of years and people have really you just accepted that of course the soldiers and then uh the civilians they haven't done the civilians yet but personally I don't think see anything wrong with it uh I think it's a protection to employers and to employees and everybody else if
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah the in my mind the people that say that it's in violation of their privacy it's it's actually a violation of the people they work with if uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] it's not fair to have people working around you that uh could cause accidents or harm to yourself
[speaker001:] you bet I really like it the way they do it in the in the military they go by social security numbers and they take the last number and uh so it uh and it it or or just pick a last number social security numbers uh and that's the way they do it and it works really well
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and um I work with recruiters a lot and they have uh they have it monthly with recruiters
[speaker002:] is that mandatory for the recruiters
[speaker001:] uh no no uh they do it that way but uh well it's every three months excuse me every three months and they have uh we have about um oh a hundred and fifteen recruiters in our area
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh they have a fourth of them every three months they on a random basis
[speaker002:] um-hum has
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] has your number come up
[speaker001:] no no hasn't come up I don't know I
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] that's fine if it does I the only thing you have to be careful if I know all those who join the service
[speaker002:] sure
[speaker001:] uh it is mandatory that they're tested for drugs
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh if drugs are found uh in the system then uh they're barred for enlistment for six months and then they can come back once and test again and if it's uh still positive then they can't join
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] they've really cracked down on that and uh I think that's that's good because the source of the bad crime of reputation for for drugs
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but it's surprising uh since they've been on well the first couple of months this has been around for about a year and a half the first few months there was quite a few that were disqualified and uh since then you just never hear of it I guess the word got out and the kids know that if they want to commit and and join then uh they have to be straight
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] the only thing that's kind of scary if you eat one of these buns with cinnamon with these uh poppy seeds on it
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] and that would show up
[speaker002:] you're kidding
[speaker001:] no no it's it's uh
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] it's kind of strange uh but uh yeah they they tell them that if they uh if they're going to if they come into the motel to stay overnight prior to being physical and tested and then so forth they tell them not to eat anything with poppy seeds on it a hard roll if they're having lunch or something or dinner but
[speaker002:] hm um-hum well what does it test uh for
[speaker001:] well I'm not sure and it just shows that they're uh uh but they they specify that or just tell them that they'll have to kind of be careful well and it's the same with alcoholic beverages they they test for that too
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh I think it's great I really do I mean
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but in the work place I I feel that it it should be uh something that the employers have the right to do if they want
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] to protect everyone concerned and
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] the the only problem I can see and I've heard is the the fact that if they uh
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] if the test whoever runs the test they've got to make sure they run it correctly so it's not a a misreading on it or something
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and that that's happened in some instances I guess but uh
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] I think they're pretty well I've heard what I've heard and especially the ones that that test the the soldiers they uh they make sure they they run them correctly and uh have the right right person with right sample and everything but
[speaker002:] um-hum my my company's small enough here that uh
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] in fact I don't know of any companies right around the Twin Falls area that's testing I'm sure they're here
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] but I certainly wouldn't be opposed um is is it hard for you to tell people that are on drugs I mean and I don't know how you can confirm that or not but uh uh I'd really be surprised if someone in my company was using drugs now it doesn't mean they're that they're not there
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and maybe the testing wouldn't you know show that they were there
[speaker001:] yeah I especially the the uh alcoholic alcohol part of it uh that's a that's a thing that uh
[speaker002:] but you can see that pretty easy can't you
[speaker001:] yeah right you really can you can and uh
