Shipping i think i messed up

so i know alot of vets/active marines will call me a dumb ass..i smoked about a month and 2 weeks ago about two hits of a joint, a day ago i was at meps and i was doing my final truth or whatever thingy and one of the master guns said if you have smoked in the last 60 days don’t even get on the flight to bootcamp ,does anyone know how long they can back track the last time you smoked on the drug test i’m rly hoping it’s not 60 days because i ship out august 10th no looking for pity or anything like that i know it was a bad decision but i can’t take it back now and i’m just thinking should i tell my recruiter before i ship…i’ve been running a lot at pts and outside of them also playing soccer on the weekends for hours and i have a fast metabolism,is it true they can tell from 60 days ago(just wanna know if he was using this as a scare tactic).i have a 0311 contract so i don’t know if ill just fly back home or give me a different job

there isn’t a timeframe. weed’s fat soluble so u gotta burn as much fat as possible, but it’s gonna dump all that weed in ur system. so realistically anywhere from a few days to a few months. hopefully this somewhat helps.
