All newly reported personnel should submit for urinalysis testing within what maximum number of hours of reporting on board?

Newly reported personnel are required to submit for urinalysis testing within a maximum of 72 hours of reporting on board. This requirement is part of the Department of the Navy's policy on drug screening and is intended to ensure that all personnel are tested shortly after arrival to maintain a safe and drug-free environment. By conducting the urinalysis within this specified time frame, the organization can ensure that timely and accurate testing occurs, enabling prompt identification of any substance abuse issues that may need to be addressed. This practice helps uphold standards of readiness and discipline within the ranks. Additionally, the timeframe supports the integrity of the testing process, making it difficult for individuals to alter any findings that may indicate drug use.
