I HAVE seen adjudicative boards request we pull back an SF86 based on a one time use of military motrin 800 MG. I came from the Air Force and like Army…this is handed out like M and M’s. Menstrual cramp? 800mg. Amputaiton? 800 mg. Sore shoulder? 800 Mg. Naturally I was taking 800 mg of the off the shelf stuff. Am I intentionally abusing it? No. Am I intentionally taking 800mg? Well…yeah. It can be a sticky grey area. And only military families would find themselves in that jam on a regular basis. Like Ed I see prescription oxycodone, valium, or Xanax in a separate class altogether, but not all on the adjudicative boards do.
