They will test you. You have a very good chance of passing the test if it was far enough back. You might want to talk to the recruiter. He wants you to pass as much as you do.
If they ask you directly (and they will when you go to contract) it is the best policy to tell them. You may want security clearance at some point. They are a lot more forgiving of pot than you lying to them.
I was in a college fraternity and a reservist. I always got the FBI interview when a member wanted clearance because they knew I was straight with them. I had my own clearance to watch out for. The only member that ever had a problem was the one who maintained that he had never done anything. He really had done very little, but they had at least two of us who had said different. We didn't do it to be pricks, we did it because we knew they really didn't care. They talk to enough people that it comes out.

You need to fess up to the recruiter. Tell him when it was and so on. He should be able to get you a delayed entry. That way your body can clean out. However, you need to stay off the weed. That's just crazy you want to join and you're still doing it. Your going to make basic twice as hard having to withdrawal from it.
Good luck!!

they're going to give you a drug test your first day there, and you will fail, my suggestion is to tell the recruiter and have him somehow delay your shipout date until you're clean.
He can delay the ship date because if you're a quality recruit he probably needs you to meet his quota, he'll be willing to work with you, just tell him and deal with it like a man.

Arg. Yes, they'll give you a drug test...when you go to MEPS for your physical and everything. My best bet would be to tell your recruiter...otherwise if you lie or don't say anything and you fail....they'll black list you from joining any military branch...

Your system should be clear of THC in about 48 hours, maybe a little more. If you want to join, get off the bud. If you get caught doing it while you are in, it will be a living hell for you...
Good luck.

Honesty is the best policy. Just tell him. It probably won't matter, as long as it doesn't come up in the pee test. Which is highly unlikely.

Ah, well. I'd say it'd be best to be honest. Though they might tell you to rejoin when you are clean.
Don't try the homecures for that, they don't work. Drink gatorade and exersize.

Say nothing..
I doubt if they give drug tests and if they do, they will probably
let you in anyway..
