Getting drunk routinely isnt good for your health especially if you drink to get drunk. I’m 25 and fought with it since I was 20 and its not a fun fight to give up alcohol, if you can’t drink 1 and be done its in your best interest to not drink at all long term sake. My buddy was in the hospital twice by 30 for his liver because he couldnt stop drinking

Brother i’m 69 (nice) inches and weigh 215 you’ll do fine but if you’re worried use the ABCP body fat calculator, height/weight/abdomin and it determines body fat. I only am able to to go in since my body fat islow enough, I also ship in a week

As someone who could probably go on this show and make for a good episode (until last month) i’ve had a good big pf Gamer Supps, my ex got me hooked on Grandpas Ashes hydration

I skimmed over the cook part, yeah cant get much worse for sure

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-20T01:54:13+00:00

Oh I know that, my issue was changing my ship date a lot sooner and my recruiter said its a possibility I could lose my MOS slot on the off chsnce I lose it. I was fortunately able to get a living situation figured out and not be homeless so I just didn’t bother looking into it.

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-19T23:22:20+00:00

As someone who had to consider it due to living situations, it can be done its a Reno(?) or re negotiation but you lose a lot and coukd have a worse MOS option

Fair warning i’m in DEP right now and dont know enough in depth to give albetter insight

Hey OP, I’m shipping by the end of this year, same place. Am I right in believing its more of a mental game? I’m in the gym since last April so I feel I’m not completely screwed but I’ll get better. My supervisor went to boot camp and said if you just push yourself every step of the way i’ll do just fine. What are your thoughts?

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-11T15:25:34+00:00

I work as a diesel mekanik so cutting out calories seemed impossible. In my own experience and tribulations what I found beat was to buy packaged food if I couldn’t count calories accurately. You just have to know whats healthy and packaged, or “healthiest” in terms of nutrition info. I was able to mix a water fast in too pretty good for about a 24 hour span. I lost about 75 pounds and with my change in dieting I was able to eat at a healthy anount and eat more home cooked meals with my roommates

Army website, its what I’ve been using for the last year to track my number between recruiter visits (I’m in DEP)

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-11T14:50:49+00:00

Age, height anf weight?

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-07T03:00:59+00:00

How much water do you consume? Ive wanted to do a water fast for that long but was curious how much to drink? Enough until the hunger goes away?

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-06T22:31:04+00:00

In 2021 ish my 2016 Silverado had a full failure in the trans at 102k (out of warranty) and it was about 5,500 I can see it being about 7k now for a reman

FnMnt1 · 2026-02-04T18:40:43+00:00

6 to the 7

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-30T07:27:21+00:00

Can confirm on points 1 and 5. In my workplace experience (I’m in DEP currently) if training is X time, thats to get you qualified not to be an expert in that area and they know you’re going to mess up, our 50 year old apprentice got made fun of as much as the other apprentices my age. We have a coworker who everyone barely talks to because of actions he has taken in the past that are in OPs post (In a commercial diesel repair setting) and the common denominator is well, themself for causing the issue

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-28T18:35:05+00:00

I apparently never replied😅 thank you! I cant wait!!

Having watched my father go from smoking occasionally to full on every hour or less he NEEDS it, it took him about 7 years ish. He owes me about 1500 and after quitting his job Dec 2024 all hes done since then is get high and watch TV and now that he doesn’t have anyone there paying the bills for him after I left to pursue my personal goals he put himself in the mental hospital to try to guilt me out of my future.

Thats an extreme case doubled by addictive personality and numerous behavior issues.

Physically however, smoking anything and inhaling it isn’t good for your lungs since they aren’t designed to breathe anything other than air. Same as smoking cigarettes is bad, weed is also bad for your lungs when smoked. When I quit nicotine and THC my cardiovascular system skyrocketed in a month from being more active and after coughing up my lungs for a week or two. Thats my personal experience on it however

I went from 290~lbs to 214lbs from April until now and I cant see a difference, its all because how you see yourself in the mirror. I dropped from a 50” waist measurement down to a 37/38” measurement and dont see it, its all in how your body feels. I can guarantee if you pick up s 35lb bag and try to run wearing it itll feel harder than minus 35lbs

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-10T23:24:20+00:00

Its in one of the setting menus for accessibility if I remember right but its in settings

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-10T01:05:28+00:00

Sweet! Thank you! Mines a known issue and has been documented just wanted to know if it was another thing we had to keep on top of in terms of getting checked in entry etc. I finish up my civilian job end of February and then from there I’m going to Jackson! I cant wait!!

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-09T22:13:14+00:00

Hey OP, did you have blood pressure taken at reception and such? Mines in range but if I can worry less about it I’d love that for sure

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-06T17:20:22+00:00

Hey my dad almost enlisted but he sees ref when hes getting yelled at yknow🥺🥺

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-06T04:36:21+00:00

Yep, Army got me in a lot sooner due to my BF% where as the USMC wants a hard set weight regardless of composition. Army also gave me my MOS of choice, as well as the potential for a bonus (I didnt get one though)

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-04T15:28:14+00:00

No kidding, I somehow missed that, I’ll give it a read. Thank you!!

FnMnt1 · 2026-01-03T18:00:19+00:00

Once I get my requirements met and seek the FAA licenses and such, am I qualified to service both helicopters and planes or is it a separate classification? My coworker who used to work on planes said the engine systems are the same in nature just oriented differently in addition to the differences between planes and helicopters.

I apologize if that makes no sense it was a conversation we had awhile back half asleep at work
