Trying to go into Army!

Ive been clean since May 23 and I am still dirty. Im drinking ridiculous amonts of water and working out but im still popping positive. The recruiters are cool about it but its starting to piss me off! Ive read almost every post and Im "not smoking" "drinking water and cranberry juice" "working out(running)" and even tried niacin, but still no luck. I guess I need to know how long it could take? Whats the max amount of time it stays in your system? I'm about to hit the 60 day mark. Im 5'7" and my body fat is about 20% so Ive got some extra fat cells for it to hide in obviously. Any suggestions or comments would be awesome!

wow i havent ever heard of that before. i once heard of 45 days but i dont know if i believe it. but I heard off NORML.COM that even chronic users can get clean in like 9 days or something. so your like one of a kind i guess?

Just out of curiosity, why do you wanna go into the Army? Stay a civillian and you can toke up all day without worrying about drug tests!

I went into the Navy after high school, and enjoyed the travel part (so lots of Asia n' stuff), but there was too much bullshit to put up with. The senior enlisted guys can be dicks, just because they have a higher rank than you. I had a hard time with some of those guys in my own division.

I'm just saying don't let the recruiters try to sweet-talk you into anything. A lot of them lie.

But hey, if this is what you really wanna do, go for it!

I was a chronic user everyday all day! As to why well I'll answer that but I dont want this post to become political. I just want to get training in the medical field for free, see the world, and serve my country. But Im past 45 days anyone heard of it being longer. And does my losing weight have anything to do with it?

Every body is different and it depends on your smoking history, genetics, body fat %, activity level, diet, etc. The half life can range from 0.8 days to 10 days. I know plenty of people who took 60+ days to get clean.

If you are doing aerobic exercise stop 3-5 days before the test. I have a feeling you are close to getting clean.

does the army test at 50 ng/mL

have a joint and forget about the army. Dont do it!!!!!!

Sunburst I am almost positive they use the 50 ng cutofff. I also have heard stories of some recruiters of having instant tests in the office to do a trial run for candidates before sending them for the real thing and those use 50 ng.

It would be better to keep all your questions in one thread for yourself, makes things easier to answer although you did ask related questions in each thread you posted.

go job corps!

I think its great you want to join the army and serve te country. I have major respect for you hun.

trust me, its the greatest decision you will ever make in your life. don't let any of your hippie liberal friends talk you out of it. the military is a great choice


but being a Navy man myself, all i gotta say is GO BIG BLUE!!! when i joined the military many moons ago i took into consideration all of the services and what they had to offer, i went Seabees because i could learn some combat training , but also learn a trade, which i did. check out the Seabees before you sign anything.

yea i wouldnt do it if i was you but anyway it doesnt matter that you drink water and cranberry juice or that you run or even that you tried niacin, im on probation and have tried all the shit you have plus "water pills" pills from headshops everything and know people who have tried the same shit but all have failed the uas(and for you people that think im jsut an idiot, ive been on probation for the past 7 monthes, i know plenty of people who have been and are on probation, ive been in drug treatment for the last 4 monthes and i knwo people who have done the same program and other pregrams) nothing like that works, thc is stored in your fatty cells(heart, brain etc)so it can take(depending on the amount smoked)atlest 6 monthes at the most and thats depending how much youve smoked in the past, if its been 60 days man if i were you i wouldve already bought a ua from wakmart or some shit and seen what the thc level was, i just had a fuckin ua this morning, of course i failed it, i havent smoked for 25 days(the longest ive ever not smoked:thumbsup:)i was gonna call my po and bitch at him and tell him to let me take another test but last night i snorted some hydrocone(which i do not recommend doing because for like 15 min it felt like i had lit my nostral on fire) and i dont wanna take a nother ua and have him find out i failed it for that and not thc(the ua i was given tests meth, coke and weed, im not sure if hydrocone is an amphetamine)but im sitll worrird cause the last 3 times ive seen him hes said that the next tiem i fuck up that im going to a treatment center for the next 6 monthes(for you people that have been on probation , you probably thinking that i will get more chances and that po's and cops always say that, in which they do but i have been on house arrest for the past 7 monthes, ive been sent away for the weekend 6 times and ive spent for days in jail, so im rpetty sure hes serious) sorry for the long ass post hahah

That's totally cool you want to join the army. I hope I didn't offend you with my earlier post 'cause that wasn't my intention. The military does have some great things going for it! :D

Yeah, Go Navy! I was an Electrician's Mate and was on an Amphibious Assault Ship (LHA). We carried 2,000 combat-ready Marines and their equipment.

I loved being in the Navy, I loved being on a ship, I loved the travel! But I couldn't stand the all the bullshit I had to put up with (politics of people trying to make rank, etc).

I'm glad I did it, but if the govt ever tried to get me to go into the military again, you'd see my happy ass in Canada or Amsterdam! :rastasmoke:

You can get medical training in cty colleges for next to no money by the way. I hope you reconsider.

Man, give 'em a break. This is a drug testing message board, not a political rant message board.

This isnt the place for that

Yeah lets try and support each other here. No reason to get nasty in the drug testing section.

If your at 20% body fat it is going to tak about 3 months even though you keep flushing and working out, keep at it main -------:pimp:Rangers Ho!!!!!!!!

WOW, have you ever heard of capitalization or punctuation? It would have made that easier to read. Also, I have never seen anyone take 6 months to get clean from pot. The worst I have seen was 3 months but not 6 months. If the rest of this post was easier to read I would check it but I don't want a headache. You were right about the water, cranberry juice, and niacin being useless though.

Like FB said, stop working out for 48-72 hours. As you are working out you are burning your fat cells which is releasing more "toxins" . Buy a home test and test yourself after your hiatus from excercise.

Good Luck, for you to work this hard to clean your system and to stick with it shows how serious you are about what you want to do. Alot of people would have given up. This country is lucky to have you.

Thanks alot everyone for your info looks like its just gonna take more time.. And hey believe me Ive thought alot about it. Im a father and I dont have the time to watch my son during the day, go to school in the evenings, work at night. When would I sleep? I could when Im with my son but he is gonna be 2 soon that wouldn't be smart now would it. I happen to fall in that crack where I make too much money for free child care and not enough to afford it all the time. Anyway as far as not working out before the test I understand, will do and they do use one of those quick tests looking for THC, Coke, and Meth.:thumbsup:
