I joined the military recently, and gave up smoking, ( I needed to do something more with my life instead of a quick fix). I go through Medical entrance processing. I stopped smoking 1 week ago. I was an occasional smoker, maybe smoked every 2-4 time a week, so I wasn't a heavy smoker, but a smoker none the less.

I have to take a Urinal test in one week, so i have stopped smoking in 2 weeks total before I take the test. I bought three different kind of home drug tests at Walmart, CVS and Rite-aid, all local Pharmaceuticals. I took one on Friday, one on Saturday, and on on Sunday. All testing negative with a strong red line.

I am very active, going to the gym everyday and jogging 3 miles at the local track. I looked up online that it said that the home drug tests cut-off is 50ng/ml, and the Military one is 15ng/ml.

Will i be testing positive when i take the test, or will i pass with flying colors?

The military uses an initial assay screen with a 50 ng cutoff limit and the confirmation GC/MS with a 15 ng limit. They'll run the confirmation test if the sample tests positive for THC on the initial screen.

Read my post in this thread. You'll discover that even though their cutoffs numerically differ, a 50 ng assay is functionally equivalent to the 15 ng GC/MS....http://boards.cannabis.com/drug-testing/190910-medtox-lab-test-help.html#post2146908

So what your saying is that the home drug tests and the Military drug tests are 50ng? (Thats what it sas on the box.) So pretty much if I pass the home drug tests, ill pass the military's initial screening as well, and they wont do further testing?

If thats the case im good to go, and I have another week to burn those extra THC metalobites out of my body.
