Freaking out. Extremely rare user. It's MEPS.

Hey all, I'm looking at joining the National Guard. I'm about 5'9", 180 pounds, I'm 17 at the moment but I turn 18 on the 16th of November, and can literally count how many times I've smoked in the last five years with both hands. And it's not ten. Anyway, sometime early October I took two hits of a pipe and got pretty damn high. Had a really bad high, and was turned off to smoking for a while. Anyway, it's the weekend of November 1st. Me and my buddies go camping for one of my buddies birthdays, I take one hit and I'm feeling good. So last time I smoked was November 2nd, and my recruiter is pushing for me to go to MEPS as early as Nov. 18th. I can probably push him comfortably to the 24th. Or come up with some excuse and wait til December. I've been doing lots of reading on dilution, detoxes, and just peoples experiences trying to come up with just a general feeling. Most places say rare users are clean within 13 days. Other places say "30 days" I'm not overweight by any means whatsoever, I exercise regularly and stay hydrated. Today marks ten days (Jesus haha. It doesn't even seem like ten days. Seems like ages ago) The 18th would be 16 days, and the 24th would be 22 days. I'm really concerned about passing this test. Just because of the mixed info I'm getting from these places. I plan on buying some tests this week and just maybe every other day. If I get five tests and test negative on all five is it safe to say I'll be good at MEPS? I hear that they just use basic dip-the-strip-in-the-piss-type tests. But I don't know. And that's just it, it's the "I don't knows" that are killing me. I know that policy is constantly changing in the military. If I fail the test will I have another chance? Do I talk to my recruiter about it? (He's a really cool guy) If I'm good I want some reassurance with some backing. If I should wait, whatever. I'm just looking for straightforward stuff. For the record, my metabolism is pretty average. Probably a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-10. 10 being fast. I know that there's a lot of variables just because of the differences from person to person. But idk. I'd really appreciate help. I'm pretty worried. Thanks a ton. This community seems great. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Shameless bump. Sorry y'all. There's just a lot riding on this. I didn't expect it to be so soon.

When testing yourself, be sure to use the first urination of the day. Keep posted of the results.:thumbsup:

If all of your home tests are consistently negative (using the first urination for each testing session), youre good to go.

Thanks.

I talked to a local clinic and I have an appointment for 8:00 AM Friday morning. Luckily I can push the MEPS date to a time where I will be alright to go. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again.
