Vacationing while in TPAPN

[Nursinaround0123]

Hello Im planning to take either a cruise or go to the UK for a vacation soon but I'm in TPAPN. I was wondering if anyone in TPAPN requested for monitoring interruption to go out of the country, was it approved and what kind of test did they make you do when you returned? Also how long were you on vacation? Thank you so much for all yalls help!

Omy yes.  I was desperate for a vacation.  I requested an interruption and they wanted to see my itinerary.  I was allowed to interrupt.  Be AWARE when you return from your trip they WILL test blood, urine and hair!!  I wasn't aware of this.  and they won't tell you!.

Make sure you still do any required meetings.  The hair test goes back 3 months by the way.

I was given permission to go out of the country, and all that happened when I returned was a urine test the second (not first) day I was back. I only test once a month and normally at the end of the month and after this trip my test was the first week of the month, so while I wasn't hit with blood/hair testing, it seems pretty likely that they'll test pretty quickly once you're back.
