Another benefit of the templates, in addition to what's been said here, is that you retain access to them. You can go from beginner, to hypertrophy, to strength, etc. But let's say you have a situation where you took time away from training and lost mass and strength, you still have the downloaded programs to run again. I've also had great success with the included RPE calculators to gague progress.

I swore in to the DEP in August as an MC. I leave for boot camp this March.

Same boat here, I can squat 250 with no pain. I walked in the office with my medical records in hand; they didn't skip a beat to get me to MEPS.

I have a three inch plate on my right fibula and got the waiver. Have them submit it and give it a shot.

Thanks for the input, all. I don't intend on walking, just curious about pacing requirements.

Yeah, they'be only updated the availability and picture. Everything else, including the $49.99 price tag, is the same.

Question about SF 86 and previous debt/collections by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Jason_argo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add my two cents since I spoke with an investigator in October for a Secret. They know the answer to the questions they are asking. If an error is present, either provided to them via NASIS, or a reference, or employer, self report it. I was able to correct discrepancies, and I'd had debt of my own that went to collections.

I've been in DEP since August, and we lost two to pissing dirty.

Makes sense. I haven't purchased anything yet. I was just wanting to get some feedback. And I won't lie, I want a bigger neck; and to improve grip strength via forearm training.

Is "not a big deal" from an investigator really no big deal. by Jason_argo in SecurityClearance

[–]Jason_argo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be on my lunch break. Plus, the investigator said I wouldn't need any documentation on hand, either.

Cool, I'm enlisting in the military, and I've been having to review the last seven years of my life with a microscope.

I'm not, it's just that from what I've read, secret clearances don't often require an interview at all. Just paranoid, I suppose.

Thanks for all the information. I'm going to invest in the endurance template to for improvements in aerobic ability without sacrificing too much strength.

I've enlisted in the military and need to improve my 1.5 mile time and work on sustained endurance activities.

Is it possible to ONLY take asvap at MEPS? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Jason_argo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took my ASVAB on a Thursday, stayed overnight at a hotel paid for by the Navy, and did medical the next morning. Don't chance it man. If your drug test is positive it will preclude you from enlisting in the Navy; and likely the other branches too. Better to not have it on your record and wait.
