Can someone tell me, please, whether officers in the armed forces are
subject to the same random drug tests as non-commissioned ranks.
Thanks

AAIK in  RN Ships the tests are carried out from Captain down. As it should 
be IMHO.

Thanks Eddie. Hopefully the Army and the RAF do the same.

I have to say that in my time it was pretty unthinkable that Officers would 
even contemplate taking drugs - just the same as Officers in the Household 
Brigade would have been cashiered if they'd been seen coming drunk out of a 
London nightclub, like certain current members of the Household Brigade I 
could mention. And this was only just over 30 years ago...have times changed 
THAT much?
