I know the history (Particularly the Reagan missive following a fighter-jet crash, finding rampant drug-use in the Navy, and subsequent "War on Drugs") I am particularly most interested in mentioning that it is wrong, and needs to be looked at in an objective manner of "Why do we even allow it after that has proven to be too intrusive?"

Well, I am thinking I passed, as I got confirmation that my insurance etc. was in order by the HR people today, and it has been 5 days, (albeit 2 weekend days) since my test. I was under the impression that if they had found my sample to be too dilute, I would have heard... or that if my sample tested positive, I would have heard by now. I did see on my Chain of Custody form that "Specimen Bottle(s) Released to: FedEx" which implies to me they did NO testing on my sample at the collection site. (which would of course add one business day, implying that the true testing lab would not get my sample until Friday.) Today being Monday, I would think that a positive would have been flagged by a dip test at this point, and I would have been notified by now.

It could however mean that I failed the initial dip test, and my sample has been sent to Gas Chromatography testing. (I thought I would hear from the MRO if that had been the case, but I am not willing to risk it so I continue my abstinence.)

I am nervous, and would like to have some peace of mind about all of this, as I did everything I was supposed to do.. I quit. That is not to say I am eyeing up that little nugget of kind bud that I have stashed for my day of confirmation, and thought several times "I would SURELY have heard by now!", but I am not going to risk this for the simple pleasure of a relaxing evening.

I will let the board know my final result, but if I do not hear anything in 1 week's time from my test, I'm considering myself golden.

I will say however, that all of you folks who insist that you will be fine after 30 days may not be taking into account all the variables like metabolism etc. as I was indeed testing positive after 40+ days of abstinence on a home dip test, and if I had not well-hydrated I surely would have failed my labcorp test (Maybe I still did, I cannot yet confirm.) I did take a home test right before I went in and tested neg while hydrated, but I failed two days later with normal hydration on a home test. FYI.
