Alright so I'm 5'6 about 130 lbs with a fast metabolism, almost impossible for me to gain weight. I joined the USMC and I was supposed to leave on February 16th. On Thanskgiving eve (Nov 26) I smoked about 4 blunts worth and on Thanksgiving (Nov 26) I ate a weed brownie. Couple days ago I get a call from my recruiter telling me that my date has been moved too January 5th and I've been freaking out ever since. In some serious need of some serious advice, I'm scared. I don't want to fail. My question is: Can I beat a urinalysis? >no diuretics, synthetics or any funny business, I'm going to be in the middle of the beginning of boot camp by the time I find out if I beat it and I'm going to be tested over there randomly the first week
you'll be fine .. you weigh 130 pounds dude. just exercise, drink water and you'll be fine. that is, if you havent been dabbing this entire time.
And if you join any military branch, please cease drug use after enlisting; even if its weed. I have a few very good friends in the forces, please don't dishonor yourself and them.
I'm a chronic user, have a slow metabolism and passed twice with 30 days clean. You should be fine. Take an at home test to calm your nerves and then go fight for my freedom! Hoo Rah!
buy some home test kits. work out and exercise a lot to flush the thc out of your body. I have a friend who's an Army Reserve. She smokes 3 weeks out of the month, then stops, exercises a lot, tests herself with the test kit and goes to training for the weekend. She's done this so many times, it's like routine for her now. THC binds to fat cells, so the less fat you have, the less THC will stay in your body.
How does smoking weed whilst in the service dishonor yourself or your battle buddies? Sure, it's against the UCMJ, and depending on your CO, you could face a drug counseling+article 15 or a misconduct discharge. But I fail to see how it's dishonorable? Sent from four score and seven years ago
Simply declare that that date doesn't work for you. You need something after your initial date. You are on a delayed enlistment program now and are not obligated at this point (despite what they may try and tell you).
Update: so I took a home test that you dip in urine and I got the two bars that mean negative so I'm pretty happy, should I have any other reason to be worried? You guys were extremely helpful and I'm pretty darn grateful
Go buy a couple big ass bottles of cranberry juice and drink kill the bottles in a week and don't smoke You'll be peachy Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forumlll
I work at that lab. The pee lab. We get about 1000 federal specimens from the military etc per day. Last smoked on Thansgiving, next test in January trust me you will be FINE even being sent to a lab. Just do NOT smoke again man. And DONT be "that guy" that gives us a green samples due to detox drinks and shit. we can tell lol
Being ex military myself (I choose not to say which branch), you are not getting pee tested just for drugs. they do blood tests right before you go into basic training and piss you when you come back from your 'leave.' if you already went through MEPs then you've already been blood tested once.. so if it's irregular this time around they will know. ^ this as well. I know brothers in arms are smoking overseas but they kept clean during BT and initial deployment.
all my friends that joined greatly regret joining. The games and movies make it look so much more fun. Ha ha. You should be fine I stopped a month prior to testing for probation. I am 5'8 and 155lb and I passed surprisingly. Hear thc sticks to fat mostly. Sweat and drink plenty of water.
Because the military built its foundational values on integrity and honor, among others, and to directly violate its stated rules shows blatant disrespect to its values.
