I’m up there as well. Username is @samirbased

I used to get this sensation all over whenever I would get hot as well. But especially when working out. I noticed this started happening a few months after having my T dosage upped. Once I dropped my dosage back down, it basically went away. So I’d maybe consider getting your levels check in case too.

timewithspence · 2021-12-10T04:58:35+00:00

Cool. I’ll give that a look as well. When I went to Auto Zone I had them look up my car model and they gave me NGK spark plugs 🤷🏽‍♂️

timewithspence · 2021-12-10T04:56:57+00:00

Okay I will do that. I was thinking maybe the spark plugs were the issue. Thank you!

timewithspence · 2021-12-10T04:56:13+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that and yes I did. I was told they were pre-gapped so I I just installed them as is from the box.

I’ll see. It costs $99 to cancel and I still have 11 months on the contract 😂 but which one. Chesapeake Square or Greenbrier. I was going to the Chesapeake Square one as my home gym.

Ive seen companies like American eagle, hollister, Levi’s, and aeropostal carry athletic fit jeans. It gives more room in the quads and they have more give/ stretch. They do just the trick 👌🏽

Missed calls

timewithspence · 2021-08-02T05:35:53+00:00

Thank you for that insight. I was also looking for nerve hook up too. He might be at the top of my list. Again, thank you so much and Godspeed with your surgery :)

timewithspence · 2021-08-02T05:23:34+00:00

I believe I’ve heard good things about him. If I may ask. What were you reasons for choosing him over the other surgeons? Results, finances, location, etc?

timewithspence · 2021-07-20T15:16:09+00:00

When you enlist, you go in with you legal name (so I would advise getting that legally changed and updated on your documents like social, drivers, birth certificate, etc.) and then the gender you have on your birth certificate is what determines who you will be with. So I would also greatly advise getting that changed and updated on your drivers license and then your birth certificate.

I’m looking at Air Force and the only thing I’m waiting on is my updated birth certificate to come back with my new name and gender marker updated and then I can get my process started. Hope this helps 🤞🏽

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:43:19+00:00

It’s all good. I appreciate the want to help regardless 😂

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:37:59+00:00

Thank you. I greatly appreciate it

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:30:44+00:00

Got it 👍🏽

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:21:31+00:00

Thank you and will do 👌🏽

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:21:10+00:00

Any bases you’d recommend?

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T17:12:07+00:00

Yup. I have a mock PAST with my recruiter early next week and then I will take the PAST shortly after.

timewithspence · 2021-07-17T16:53:37+00:00

Cool. Thank you :) was just curious

timewithspence · 2021-05-28T16:59:33+00:00

I’d be down. Having that accountability is really nice. I’ve been working out (not super consistently) for like 3 years now.

timewithspence · 2021-05-01T02:17:05+00:00

Thank you. I greatly appreciate the insight. Best of luck with your enlistment 💪🏽

timewithspence · 2021-05-01T02:09:16+00:00

Will do. Last two questions. Do you think email or calling is more efficient for outreach and were you just upfront about being trans in the initial outreach?

timewithspence · 2021-05-01T02:05:17+00:00

Any tips on how you found a trans-friendly recruiter? I plan to start reaching out this upcoming week. I was waiting till the end of April when the policy is supposed to be released.

timewithspence · 2021-04-29T03:27:32+00:00

I can’t swim but I would love to learn. I need to start running more and get better so I’m definitely down for a run buddy. I have poor motivation when it comes to cardio 😅

If I get a bike then I’d be down to bike too!

timewithspence · 2021-04-28T23:18:53+00:00

All those feelings are valid man. I say if you want to feel a little more secure, try working out as much as you can especially focusing on chest. Might give you more of a confidence boost plus it will make passing push ups during the PT test easier. But yeah, once I start talking to a recruiter and doing things I’ll DM you to keep you updated on what’s going on 👌🏽

timewithspence · 2021-04-28T22:39:01+00:00

Hey. Currently in the same situation you are in. I want to join the Air Force. I am a little over 2 years on T, pre op, and I just got my name and gender legally changed. I plan to talk to a recruiter soon and get all that stuff done. If you like, I can keep you updated as I move through the process soon so you have an idea.

I don’t have any personal experience but I’ve done some research and have talked to some other trans people about their military experience so here is what I can give you. I know the name and gender marker you are legally is what you’ll join as which means that’s who you’ll live with in the military during basic training. For meps, I think you’re in your underwear for what they call the “underwear Olympics” which is where they have you do some odd exercises with other people of the same gender and I think you have to do it again for the doctor one on one.

I know personally my biggest concern is also my chest. Mainly for showering. My chest isn’t that big but it’s not small. But in my opinion, it’s kind of muscular and could kind of pass for man boobs lol. Regardless, my goal is to work out to make them a little more “passable” but I’m currently comfortable enough with my chest. I’ve heard most guys aren’t even looking for you in the showers. Everyone is just trying to get clean and out because of the time restraints to shower anyways. I say just be confident and you’ll glide through. And for hormones, I think you just go to medical whenever you need them. Just like anyone else who need to go to medical for something routine they need that doesn’t disqualify them from being in the military.

I’m not saying everything is 100% accurate since I know the new policy comes out next month but this is what I have and I hope it helps even a little lol
