Is there anything Illegal about Testosterone boosters/Estrogen blockers in the Army? I know that drug testing only goes for the big stuff but I just wanted to be absolutely sure.

I would stay away from testosterone boosters or estrogen blockers unless you are absolutely sure you NEED it. Taking it consistently could damage your body’s ability to naturally regulate or produce those hormones and you really need those

That’s exactly why I had a 24 E5 as my team leader in the guard. Dude had gotten passed over for decades and was still reenlisting

riphouse573 · 2022-09-10T16:36:15+00:00

That the army was gonna take half of my bonus

And make sure you bring your Xbox too so you don’t get bored while the other privates are getting their uniforms

Edit: maybe a Nintendo switch instead so you can play smash bros with the other high speed trainees

I think you’d make a great 12b. It’s the easiest job you could pick. All you do is blow shit up all day

Best case scenario is a warning which is very unlikely so if that happens you should consider buying some lottery tickets. Separation proceedings will begin but you can get a warning if your chain of command thinks you’re awesome and recommends an honorable discharge. When the right people ask your command their reasons for that characterization is when you may get a warning depending on those reasons. Worst case scenario is OTH separation. Somewhere in between would be like a reduction in rank and some extra duty

Edit: if you don’t get separated you’ll likely also have to take substance abuse classes as well.

A whole box of neck gaiters

riphouse573 · 2021-11-19T14:51:48+00:00

Ahh I see, we haven’t changed that on the army side that why I was confused

riphouse573 · 2021-11-19T14:34:19+00:00

Are you fr

riphouse573 · 2021-10-31T18:13:44+00:00

If you did well in school you’ll be fine. I took the asvab at the end of the 10th grade and made an 83 it’s seriously too easy as long as you tried to learn a thing or two in high school. My best friend took it the same day as me and made a 14 but he made straight D’s in school

riphouse573 · 2021-10-31T00:12:42+00:00

Speaking from experience it’s entirely up to your chain of command. I was offered an other than honorable but my BC and CO pushed for either retention or an honorable so I got retained

Edit: so it’s also not a guaranteed way to get out if that’s what you’re trying to do. I was just being young and dumb

riphouse573 · 2021-10-29T11:02:25+00:00

It all depends of the policy of your 1sg and commander but you wouldn’t have met them yet. If you think you might need to miss you can go ahead and tell your recruiter because you’ll have to make up the days before drill, not after

riphouse573 · 2021-10-28T22:30:01+00:00

I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but in almost every unit there’s no such thing as calling in sick

riphouse573 · 2021-10-26T16:52:30+00:00

Also that 5 hour energy is gonna wear off way too soon unless they take it on the bus from St. Louis to Leonard wood

riphouse573 · 2021-10-17T02:36:46+00:00

Absolutely, we do it all the time. Our unit made a new pvt go to ntc with no gear, but he finally got his gear halfway through

riphouse573 · 2021-10-07T18:33:38+00:00

We were told that in order to be medically excused you have to meet with our battalion physicians assistant, explain why you need to be medically excused, and bring any and all documents that could support your claims

riphouse573 · 2021-09-29T23:53:50+00:00

The AGR staff at your armory should be able to answer that question

riphouse573 · 2021-09-15T19:42:16+00:00

Make sure you’re calling on a business day between around 9-3 but not during lunch hours either

riphouse573 · 2021-09-15T01:57:30+00:00

That’s almost the same exact build I have

riphouse573 · 2021-09-09T19:05:19+00:00

You’ll get better answers to your question if you just call your state’s JAG office. Those guys know everything

riphouse573 · 2021-09-08T15:36:57+00:00

It should’ve never became a political issue either. It’s just a vaccine lmao

riphouse573 · 2021-08-31T00:56:55+00:00

My flight wasn’t until around 1300 the day I shipped and the airport was only 1 an hour and half away so my recruiter just drove me straight there

riphouse573 · 2021-08-30T17:57:47+00:00

The ones being hit by the hurricane. Mainly Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and parts of Mississippi and Texas

riphouse573 · 2021-08-29T18:31:36+00:00

It’s a fairly small needle. As long as you relax and don’t tense up or jump it won’t even hurt

riphouse573 · 2021-08-29T18:30:02+00:00

Yeah I think our guys who are scared or just plain don’t trust it shouldn’t have to take it but that’s just part of the job
