Well I "quit quit" smoking heavily on Monday the 8th(really sept 31, read below). I was a heavy smoker up until then, smokin multiple times a week, sometimes everyday. I am 6' 2" , 155 lb's, somewhere right around 6% body fat. I took one hit off a bowl on last wedneday, the 11th, and friday i took a couple hits off a blunt bong and bowl, one of each, on the 13th. I've been runnin around a mile + every day before the first week of the month (sick all week, no smoking at all for me then either), as well as pushups and crunches.
I'm going up to MEPS on the 26th and 27th, or somewhere around there, and going to have a urine test. Help. Advice. Please. Thx in advance

Don't worry about it.
MEPS doesn't give a shit what's in your system before you go in.

Once you're there, it's another story, however.

Sec

Your best bet is to get a home test and test yourself around the 24th. If you pass using your first urine of the day, you should be good to go for the MEPS testing. If you do not pass, then look into dilution.

I think you can pass.

Good luck in your military career.

im thinking if MEPS didn't care, they wouldn't drug test..and besides i'm going into the Marine Corp, and don't think they want people using drugs.

Sec3 thanks for the advice, i'm keepin up my running, as well as eating lots of fiberous foods...We'll see how the home test goes

I would agree with you on that. Why bother or waste the money? Then again it is our gov't. we are talking about.

Meps does care thats why they test you..Im going in the Army and have been clean 36 days...make sure your passing your home test with a strong line...If you fail the test at meps...then you will be Barred from enlistment. Most recruiters are kewl they have a test you can do in the office so they can help you make sure your clean before you go to meps..cause the test at meps is the one that counts

Having been there and knowing how they operate, I can tell you that they don't care about marijuana in your system prior to enlistment.
They use the MEPS drugscreen as a baseline, and you'll probably have additional tests through BASIC training to verify that you are genuinely staying clean.

Because recent years have seen extremely low recruitment figures, some rules are relaxed in order to get new military personnel. That means that recruiterswill overlook minor criminal offenses such as possession, DUI, and most juvenile misdemeanor offenses. They will also overlook some positive drug tests.

I'm not talking out my ass here. I went through the whole bullshit to enlist in the Army and after my military career, I have known several recruiters and MEPS workers and have learned some of the inside workings of enlistment.

Talking out your ass or not, it just doesn't make sense to drug test before enlistment, if they don't give a shit. If they don't care why don't they have recruiting advertisements that say all dope smokers welcome instead of giving a drug test.

I agree..they test because they wont let u enlist if your pop hot..thats why if your up front with your recruiter they will test u in the office as many times as needed before they send u to meps. Im now 37 days clean and have been testing in my recruiters office so i know when i can do to meps. Granted the Marines may be different then the Army. But the drug testing and psyical is runs by Meps which isnt run by just one branch of service...Good luck...Im sure since you run your more then likely clean already...but get a home test or just tell your recruiter and they will test you.

"Athletes have a big advantage over non-athletic people. When fat is burned, THC byproducts are released into the blood. This is the only way to get THC metabolites out of lipid tissue. Normal living will burn them slowly, as your fat reserves get turned over. Due to an athletes high metabolic rate, THC moves through an athletes system significantly faster. Exercising between drug tests will clean THC metabolites from the system at a faster rate, thus lowering the detection period. It is important to stop burning fat cells near test time. On test day, it doesn't matter what's in your lipid tissue. What's in your blood and urine does matter. Exercise increases the amount of THC metabolites in the urine, so quit exercising a week before the test. Be lazy, and eat big. This will put the body in an anabolic fat-storing stage. At this point, the "buried" THC metabolites won't escape and go the the urine. There are drugs that will increase metabolism the way exercise does, but these are the same drugs that they are usually testing for. Exercise should only be considered when the subject knows that he or she will not be given a pop quiz in the near future." does this apply to me? should i stop running now or like a day before. i need to get a at home test, asap, because i might have my MEPS day pushed up even sooner (like Tuesday).
Marines are pretty strict about drug use, at least with my recruiter. He knows I smoked but didn't expect me to take those couple hits obviosuly, which I feel fucking stupppppid for now.
Until then, high fiber/niacin diet and lots of water and excercise. 100 pushups/100 sit ups as well as 2-3 miles a day.
