Quote from psychic101: There were reports of drugs on base, we hear that about every military installation at one time or another. It happens, and we all know it does, these brave people are in fact people, and do things people do. This is not disrespectful of the heroes who cover our backsides with their own lives, it means they have a social life, like most people on the planet.
So since you are a thorough on drug use on military bases. Did Halt and Penniston have a history of drug use?
That's just plain old "Psyche101" Mate

I do not believe in Psychics either
How many people at a Christmas party have a "History"? Two of the officers were pulled from the middle of the party. I did not say that Halt was a Drug addict, I said that in the festive season, most people let their hair down, I myself would have been inebriated at the same time with copious amounts of Canadian Club. I do not have a "history". I am not sure if you have ever had to deal with any addicts, but I think you will find that people with a "history" tend to look more "normal" when they are under the influence, which is not the case here. What we do have is opportunity, availability, and a reason. Good reason even. Should that be instantly dismissed?
What I am saying is that in special occasions like Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, it is not out of the ordinary to have had a few, and perhaps be a little under the influence Would you disagree wit that? We also know that alcohol was at the party, and we know that drug problems had been reported at the base. It is possible not one of the team so much as sniffed the whacky weed, but can you conclusively prove that every team member was sober? Rather than a drug habit this is merely outlining the realities of the festive Season. And I think I can go out on a limb and say Yes, I bet Penniston and Halt both have a history of celebrating Christmas with a tipple. Like my post says, I expect they most likely do have a social life.
