OK, I know you probably see these threads all the time, but I'd be stupid not to go the extra length and give my own specifics. I'm enlisting in the Marines, and have signed most of the paperwork. I'm scheduled to take the ASVAB, Physical, and the Oath this Saturday. I was a frequent user before, smoking almost everyday, for a few years.

As of Saturday, I haven't blazed up in exactly 25 days. I took the preliminary piss test this morning in my recruting office, which was the iCUP A.D. This test showed four lines, testing for cocaine, metaphetamines, amphetamines and THC. As you might guess, the bolder the line, the cleaner you were. My THC line was substantially lighter than the other three, though still obviously there. My recruiter told me I was good to go.

I know the MEPS test is more in depth and they will send it away for retests, and have been told by buddies of mine that they will drop you from BOOT after they get your final results. My good buddy who graduated from Parris Island two weeks ago told me they had dropped someone on day 63 as they were packing for the Crucible after testing positive for THC on his original MEPS drug test.

I'm 6'3...185 pounds if that helps at all. I plan on diluting my system as best as I can the next two days. YOUR experiences, advice..etc would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking for anyone to ask me why I'm joining or what I'm fighting for...but for one smoker to help out another smoker and get me through this so I can get on with my life.

Thanks in advance.
