it can take days or even weeks for some bad air to exit the blood stream

Water only works for clearing 'bad air' on a urine test. With a blood test you'd best hope for a miracle. Call me crazy, but I find it much easier to just keep myself healthy and in no doubt of passing my yearly medical. but then again it's just me, what do I know?

drug test

But THC is detectable in the blood
for a short time, usually a few
hours, because it is rapidly
metabolized into molecules known
as metabolites. At least 80 different
metabolites are formed from THC.
These metabolites are stored in
body fat and are gradually
eliminated from the body through
feces and urine.
ps: i took that stuff a long time ago! i dont use. I hope one slip up wont mess my dream!

@Gwabbs incase you get nabbed with some 'bad air' traces, the worst that might happen is you get told to wait for 3 months then test again: and this time you better stay clean or you are out! However, on the forms you'll fill asking about your history, don't tell half truths: you could end up in a bigger hole. Just fill in you took it once....
edit: okay that sounded better in my head

Relax. Ni kama KNEC haijasubmit information kwa KQ. Furthermore, there are some guys doing the Psycho today so most probably you will be in the same group for the medicals.
But you can still ask if there is someone who has been invited for the Medicals without the certificate/result confirmation.

Congrats

Bravo to all of you guys for making this far.
Now onto other matters, you will get seriously bored once you get to this place be it 43 or Progress. So you guys need to sort yourselves out in terms of entertainment n stuff. We will appreciate movies, series and games alot. Infact we will appreciate anyone who will come with a 1TB dedicated external hard disk full of the same. I know all of those who did the medicals are in but it will be in order to still wish you all the best of luck. For those who didn't make it, no regrets. Life goes on. Cheers.

It would be unfortunate if someone starts accumulating 1 TB of multimedia then get's disqualified in the remaining two stages :-(
If I make it past the orals then feel free to PM me your requests and I'll be sure to bring them with me.

I'm pretty sure at this stage no one is going to be eliminated unless they do have a serious medical complication. In any case the psychomotor test tells them who they want working for them, the medical tests are just part of every pilot's life. So ny virtue of doing those tests you are pretty much in and you can count them as your initiation into the profession. About movies and stuff I will pm you when you r 100% sure you are coming to 43. All the best bro.

they are asking for confirmation of documentation...i got to get a passport now. Somebody told me that at Eldoret or Kisumu you can get the passport in two days, or even within a day. Can somebody confirm this?

I doubt if that's true. I applied at Nyayo house and they said 3 weeks. I don't think it would take a shorter period at their regional offices. But you could try and let us know for posterity's sake
