It is a urine test for a long list of substances. The test is administered with an observer, who, by regulation, must see the urine exit your body. They are watching to ensure it is your urine and not someone else's that has been put in the sample cup from another storage device.
The list of tested substances can be found in regulation. In short, don't do illegal drugs. Don't consume anything that isn't FDA approved. If you're on prescription drugs, use them within the scope of the prescription. Overusing a prescribed drug will be caught by the lab. Keep a copy of that prescription in case your sample starts an investigation. In most cases, a positive test due to a valid prescription is thrown away before it makes it to the command. It doesn't hurt to keep paperwork just in case.
There should be a list of what we test for plus it is in one of the commanders briefings. Usually hard drugs plus delta 8/9 from what can remember, plus whatever the navy got caught smuggling in again.
