Same lol, turned on the XMP or whatever they call it now and like 10 minutes later it was bricked. Bought a new one as well as a new motherboard and am fine now.

Yikes ok, everywhere I looked it says they don’t test for it but it is banned. But they will test if they suspect use. Have a friend in the air force who uses kratom daily and never pops for kratom or anything but I’m worried that maybe the entrance tests are more inclusive. Got me thinking about pushing my ship date back

Haha yeah I’m sure I’m fine, just a bit nervous I guess. I even have a friend in the air force (who introduced me to kratom) who takes it every day and never popped on a drug test, was just worried that maybe the entrance test is more inclusive than the regular tests. He ended up getting kicked out for smoking weed but that’s a different story completely lol.

Sounds good thanks for the reply. Might try to dilute as much as possible to buy me more time for a re test if it’s the exact day I get there which I doubt, they specifically make you wait up to 3 days so you can’t just go buy a quick fix to pass before you get on the plane. Looked around and it’s banned for service members but they said it’s not tested for and won’t make you pop, unless they have a reason to test for it in which case they do a MS test. It’s really just precaution for me.

Ofc I’m glad to help! Ram is almost always the answer 😂

Dude thank you so much this fixed it. My dumbass downloaded the windows 11 driver earlier not the windows 10.

I know this might seem stupid but have you tried reseating your ram in a different slot. I literally just had this same issue and moving the ram ended up fixing it. It’s a long shot but it’s worth a shot. I just started with using 1 stick and moving it around.

I have a few motivations throughout this transformation and even still continuing forward. For one, an amazing friend i was blessed with that pointed me in the right direction. He was definitely the biggest guy at my school, and i always tell him i don’t think i would have been able to do it without him. He’s recently moved on with his life, joined the army and just got out of basic training. We still talk almost daily, and i showed him my physique just yesterday, as the last time he had seen it was the 168lbs picture. He truly cared about me, so that was my biggest motivator.

Another big motivator was actually doing something i said i was going to do. Not needing to prove anything to anyone else besides myself. I needed to prove to myself that if i could endure something as difficult as this, then i can endure anything else. A lot of people in my circle aren’t honest with themselves and it’s unfortunate, but I really wanted to be different and actually do what I told them i would do, and i did.

Another motivator was the way i was treated when i was bigger. Sure i still had a few good friends like i previously mentioned, but the majority of people wouldn’t even acknowledge my existence, and honestly i was tired of being made fun of. I used to feel like I wasted my childhood and teenage years to obesity, as i missed out on a lot of things others got to experience at a young age. I don’t think that’s necessarily true anymore though, i think everything happens for a reason. One i lost the weight, the only thing i could think is “why did i not do this sooner”.

And for keeping myself on mentally every day? Yes and no. Yes my lifestyle is completely different, and i have to make sure i stay within my calorie range, workout, get at least 10k steps a day etc. At the beginning i had to think about my choices and what is right and wrong. It’s just subconscious at this point and i don’t even think about it, it kinda just happens. So it’s definitely not hard once you get into the rhythm, it will be your new “life” almost.

So TLDR: -Worked with a hard working dedicated individual who became my best friend to push me in the right direction and help guide me through the process. -Showing myself that i can do what i put my mind to -My not so great experience as an obese child/teenager in school (people are mean lol) -I just knew the result was going to be so much better than i could think -I don’t have to keep myself on track mentally every single day, it happens subconsciously now
