AF/SG released a Guidance Memorandum changing AFI 44-121, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) Program. It says that the use of any intoxicating substance, other than the lawful use of alcohol or tobacco products that is inhaled, injected, consumed, or introduced into the body in any manner to alter mood or function is prohibited. These substances include, but are not limited to, controlled substance analogues (e.g., designer drugs such as ―"spice" that are not otherwise controlled substances); inhalants, propellants, solvents, household chemicals, and other controlled substances used for ―"huffing"; prescription or over-the-counter medications when used in a manner contrary to their intended medical purpose or in excess of the prescribed dosage; and naturally occurring intoxication substances (e.g., Salvia divinorum). The possession of any intoxicating substance described in this paragraph, if done with the intent to use in a manner that would alter mood or function, is also prohibited.

AFROTC policy is to withdraw the scholarship offer for students who failed to properly disclose civil involvements and drug or alcohol abuse that occurred prior to the HSSP interview. These scholarships are considered obtained under fraudulent circumstances since the student failed to obtain a required waiver. AFROTC policy is also to withdraw scholarship offers for students that use drugs or alcohol after being briefed on the AF drug and alcohol policy during this interview process. Should subsequent drug or alcohol use be waiverable, HQ AFROTC will consider waiver for program continuation but without the HSSP scholarship.
