    TheLardtoast I’ve been working at weight loss since January 2018, many ups and downs. It started with a simple workout regime of run 1 mile then total body circuit then another 1 mile run to finish the workout. I’ve since transitioned into marathon running and eating sugar free. Drop the sugar and run is my best advice

    My advice when you join the military: Document every single injury that you suffered while in service. Physical injury, mental health, psychological stress etc.etc. You have to go to your medical department or sick bay and have them documented in your service medical record. This will help you with your VA disability claim once you get out. Good luck!

You're allowed to complain, you just have to complain to the right people. The military isn't purely robotic. Suck it up and drive on might sound great and edgy, but after it all, you still have to decompress.

    I've started the process to joining the Army, but have to wait until Tuesday to get screened for ASTHMA from a civilian doctor (Recommended by my recruiter). If all goes well, I get to set up a time to do the CAT-ASVAB (Got a 115 GT score on practice) and then choose my MOS and then to MEPS. Hopefully I can get what I want (11X).

    I ship out the 13th of July to Ft. SILL. It's a long process, but it's worth it! I've been scared of MEPS and just sitting and waiting for the right time, but there IS NO RIGHT TIME! My process was a lot quicker since my times are flexible, MOS was something that was good for me right now, I took the Asvab in highschool, and MOST IMPORTANTLY JUST DO WHAT YOUR TOLD IF YOU TALK BACK OR DO SOMETHING OUT OF LINE YOU MAY BE DELAYED OR DISQUALIFIED PERMANENTLY OR TEMPORARY. Hope this helps someone, on the brightside it's like uh um field trip...

    @@thomasardizon1430 hey, technically a yes and no, lol, I got approved for everything and qualified for all the MOS except for those requiring too clearance. I then paid and passed an asthma function test but MEPS doctors wanted me to go back to my hometown to get asthma documents from when I had asthma as a toddler. During this time, my wife was about to give birth, we were closing on a house and transferred to a new police department. So I ended up pulling back because of bad timing. :( But I was able to get a lot of letter recommendations from Sgts up to Lieutenant from previous employer at the Sheriff’s office and was able to get character witnesses and write out a letter about my flaws and how Ive changed. It definitely was a process but in the end, I had to go with what was best for my family at the time. Maybe I’ll try again when my kids are a little older. Good luck to you if you give it a shot.

    Currently quarantined at Kelley Hill at Fort Benning Georgia, the army is not handling the covid 19 the way they need to. My advice is to either push your shipment date back, or refuse to go until this whole ordeal is over. We were quarantined at reception for 2 weeks, processed on the third week, got through 6 days of basic, and our company ignored social distancing standards and mask wearing, and within 48 hours of our first case 142 people tested positive. (We tested a week before we went here at reception and had no positive cases). This is not a good time to leave.
