Drug Test for Army MEPS [THC]
    #9079426 - 10/15/08 12:09 AM (15 years, 5 months ago)

I've got to take a drug test Monday (5 days from now). I was wondering the best way to give myself a really good fighting chance on passing the drug test. I've been taking 500 mg Niacin twice daily for the last 3 days and haven't smoked in about 3 days either. Before that I slowed my smoking down a lot, smoking making one or two hits a day. I weight 120 lbs and I'm 5'10. I appreciate everyones suggestion however please only respond if you are 100% sure that you know what you're talking about. I've read other posts where people were arguing, unless you know for a fact from learning in school or personal experience please save your opinions as I am looking only for facts. Thank you again!

You can roll the dice if you wanna but it's not very smart.  It sounds like you  may have a chance but it's just that. a chance.  Your best bet is to back out.  Tell your recruter that you need some time to think. He'll pressure but tell him that you'll call him if/when you change your mind.  Give yourself a month of NO DRUGS and lots of PT and water.
    Step 1- Call recruiter from your home (Do not go to his environment where he has the advantage)
    Step 2- Only info you need to give him is that you need time to mull over your options WHY?  Because you just do. PERIOD!
    Step 3- Tell him you'll call when you'e, if you're ready.

    Step 4- Under no circumstances tell him that you're dirty. NEVER!
    Step 5-PT alot everyday and drink lots of water
    Step 6-NO DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!
    The military will still be there when you're clean, but it def won't for you if you pop. 
    Step 7- Do not be a lil bitch and allow the Recruiter to pressure you to just go to MEPS anyways.  Stick to your guns because you  have your private reasons. 
Any other ?'s PM me.

btw slowing down your thc intake after doing consistantly doesn't matter.  You're already saturated.  Dude I can't stress enough to stand down for a month, PT and water.
sorry for dub post

Does anybody know what drug testing is like after you go through basic / boot camp?  Do they do random tests or is there a monthly test or what?

@OP:  Take monkeywrench's advice.  You're going to fail the urinalysis most likely and cause a shitstorm.  Take a month off, get into the best shape you can, don't do any drugs, and then go to MEPS.

Yes they do random tests, they will hit you with one everytime you have time off, like if you go see your family and such, as soon as you come back they will test you. They way I passed the test at meps was my recruiter bought me Certo (fruit preserve) and orange gatorade. Mix both packets into the Gatorade, and chug that bitch! Taste nasty but then take 2 pisses before you actually take the piss test, and on your 3rd piss is when you want to pee in the cup. It worked for me! The recruiters swear by it!! Regards

  I've done the certo thing a couple of times and it has worked.  The deal is that it's not a guarantee.  What is a guarantee is to have the shit out of his system.  You blow the UA and you're done.  Don't leave it to chance if this is what you really want. 

And yeah, the military has no qualms about pissin' you.  After trips home, thailand, mexico etc.

yes definitely, I was just telling him the easiest way. It is a chance, and the best way is to go to GNC and get the 2 day detox ($40), but if you cant do that, atleast do certo! Good luck

Preciate the info but I do't have the option of backing out at this point. My dad can't wait for me to leave so I've got to go up there and attempt to pass it, if I fail I'm kicked out but anyways. I have money for Detox kits so if anybody could suggest a good one I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking about doing a combination of the Detox kit and certo and drinking excessive amounts of water. I'm going to the steam room today and hopefully everyday this week. I've always been taking Niacin 500 mg every morning and before I goto sleep. With all this, do I stand a fighting chance?? Thanks for your help!!! I'm shitting bricks over here.

Exactly how long till you go to meps? GNC is the best place to get a detox kit. I would prefer the week long detox, but if you dont have the time for that get the GNC brand 2-day detox, it should be in a mostly blue box, its pretty big. It costs 40 bucks if i remember correctly, its good my friend used it for meps, he also did certo and he passed. He smoked 24/7!

This is what it looks like...good luck!



whats your MOS??

My MOS is Information Technology Specialist. I went to GNC today to check on their Detox Kits and they have that exact one for sale (33.95 I think). I went to the steam room today and will continue working out and going to the steam room everyday this week. I think I am going to buy the Detox Kit, after talking with my day I think he is willing to extend my time by a few days to allow the Detox Kit to work for me. Anybody else have opinions or experience with this kit? I appreciate everyones help, after going to other forums asking for suggestions and help I found a lot of people are not too supportive of former pot smokers. They ridiculed me and told me they hope I fail so that I would never be able to support their country seeing as how I am a liability because I smoked some reefer, give me a break. Too bad defending their individual lives will never be my choice. Thanks again though, and to clear anybodies worries about me using while I'm in the service, I won't be! I'm not willing to lose everything for a cheap high,

oh, your good then! lol! Even if you fail your first drug test, you have to wait two months I think before you can try to enlist again. Not saying do it, but just saying even if you fail you wont be going to jail or anything. lol. Well Good Luck man! Hope everything goes well! And have fun while your in! It's not as bad as people think, and boot camp is pretty easy. The first day at basic you will arrive there at like 2-3 in the morning and you will get yelled at and told to get of the bus. The first week sucks, its just processing, shots, and shit like that, but after that it starts to be fun. Take it easy man!

That's bullshit, total bullshit.  They can't send you  to jail PERIOD!  Now when you get to boot they'll sit you in a sweatroom and make an announcement.  "Everybody that hasn't been honest about your drug use come forward now.  This is your only chance to get straight with us w/o consequence."  Don't say shit!!!!  It's a BS tactic.  btw if you pass the MEPS screening stay away from dope. There's plenty of that later on.  Get your shit straight and keep it straight for a while.  Good Luck.  If you hear anymore BS rumors or whatnot then PM on of us.

im joining the coast guard very soon, i have 20 days till i even take the asvab, its going to take 5 days to get results back, so atleast 25 till i got to go to meps.

so i live in norcal and been smoking kind bud daily for about 4-5 years, i am 140, 5'8, been running every other day, or trying to. strength training, plus a 2 week detox plan that im spreading out a lil longer(some homeopathic stuff)

today is jan 3rd, i quit smoking cold turkey on the 12th of December. so i been clean for 20 days, and have 20+days to go.

so i guess my question is about the types of testing that goes on in meps. i read a forum post that realy discerned me saying that they send urin to a lab, and he quit for 90 days but lab testing showed .012% positive for thc(.01 meaning 1 tenth of 1 percent positive, or 1 hundredth of a percent) and was kicked out perminitly. i havent read anything like that anywhere else but...kinda put me on edge. so if i pass a home drug test with a 50/ng limit would i be good? or take no chances?

Sampson

thanks alot guys
