You face being kicked out of the armed forces if caught with illegal controlled substances in your system. Although some lucky individuals get put on a rehab course and get to stay in, the majority get dishonourably discharged (kicked out).

You are wrong in the statement that plenty of people in the forces use performance enhancing drugs.
The drug testing regime in the forces is far stricter than in civvy street.
That is In UK anyway.
