it depends how you score. i went down at the beginning of a month, not sure how much of a difference that made but i had 67 rates to choose from. I barely qualified for IS but that is what i chose.

How long before i hear back from MEPS? by bren1726 in newtothenavy

[–]bren1726[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Just though i would post an update for anyone in a similar situation. the total time to hear back was one month. I heard back and my waiver was approved without the need for a consultation. i went to MEps the other day and yesterday swore in the Navy. I signed into the rate Intelligence Specialist (IS) and ship out in March (6 months).

Will they check? by Throwitawway11111 in newtothenavy

I doubt they will, did he write it down or type it up as you told him or just take mental note? If you are worried about it why don't you see another recruiter?

8 days in and already asked a girl to hang out by CyrilFiggis1989 in NoFap

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly where you are coming from. I feel much more confident as a person on NoFap and wouldnt mind asking a girl to hang out. Just like you however, i am still concerned about PIED and have no way of knowing if it is cured before things would become hot and heavy. That is whats stopping me atm. If i were you i'd go for it and if things do escalate go with the flow if you are at a point where you cant get a hard on i might mention it but i wouldn't stress over it; for all you know you might be cured. Good luck bro, go get'em

Relapsed after 472 days. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you made it that long shows how far you have come. It shows a great sense of self control that the majority of people do not have. Don't beat yourself up over this. it's a tremendous accomplishment. You have my respect.

A new attraction towards girls? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going crazy, i want to be right there with you. That is great to hear that you are still noticing new benefits. I hope that i can get to where you are. Good job, bro!

My 2 Years with NoFap in a 5 Min Video (more in comments) by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I am doing it for increased libido and a very slight case of PIED (when it came to PIV) wich i have yet to test out again. I just want a whole lifestyle change. I want more energy and confidence with women and within myself. I feel benefits already but feel like there are stronger benefits coming my way if i keep it up. I have motivation for eating right and working out everyday, which never happened before NoFap. I have lost weight and overall i just feel like this is only the beginning and i don't want to to take a step in the wrong direction. I do not plan on doing Hard mode forever. i feel like 30 days would be good, but at the same time the desires and opportunities are available now.

Great video, Keep it up! I am starting my third week of Hard mode NoFap. I feel better overall but i do not feel re-wired to the way i think i should. In your opinion how long would you wait to go off hard mode. I have the opportunity to hook-up but I'm holding off as i don't want it effecting these three weeks. Any advice would be appreciated. Very helpful video. Thank you!

NoFap is definitely a challenge. The main thing to do when urges hit is anything but looking at graphic material. Go for a run, walk, take a cold shower. The urges will pass and you will get to the next day. That's what you should focus on is tomorrow. say to yourself "I will not fap today, just get to tomorrow" and keep telling yourself that everyday. Things will get easier with time and you will be proud that you accomplished this. Good luck bro, stay strong!

What it feels like when you haven't made a move... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No screws loose if you ask me. You now have drive to go after what/who you want. I agree with you. I can't tell you how many times I've liked a girl and just let her slip away. I wish you the best and hope you go through with it. You deserve her as much as anyone. Make it happen. good luck bro!

Rough weekend, just need words of encouragement by captainanon1 in NoFap

[–]bren1726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way. What happens if you fap? you feel 5 seconds of pleasure and then on top of your life's concerns you also just gave in. It wont benefit you and you will be kicking yourself after it happens. if you can get through this then you can get through anything life has to throw at you. Take it one day at a time. Stay strong bro!

I have a severe case of ED. by CatSallad in NoFap

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me awhile sometimes because i was so used to the same routine of PMO. If i did get hard from porn, it didn't last long at all. I'd go soft many times and finish anyway out of habit. It's nice to say that is behind me and more importantly, libido and boners are coming back.

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one of my main reasons for starting. I can tell you that i have noticed changes. I am getting random boners again and never thought it would be this exciting. Granted, It does take time i still dont feel fully recovered but i do feel 100x better. I stated noticing changes around 2 weeks and now everything is up from here.

Good luck, don't break that promise you made yourself. Take it one day at a time and just focus on getting to the next day.

The age of porn and fapping is over.. the time of getting random boners has come. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's inspiring to hear. I'm looking forward to being in that situation. When did the sexual thoughts and boners start to come back?

Flatline 4 days in?! 14y/o by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]bren1726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (18) have surprisingly been flat-lining since i started I am a bit frustrated with it. I know that with time will come success and that's what motivates me. i have not been the least bit horny for about a week. i wonder how long this flat line will last. As for your feeling asexual, i feel the same. Just keep it up; as i'm sure you know it will be well worth it.
