When they do the drug test @ MEPS, would use of Testostorone show up??? Its a form of steriod I guess you would say.

Hmmmm, you've been increasing your testostorone levels? As long as you are under a doctors care and he/she will vouch for its use via prescription, there won't be much of a problem. The problem lies with getting this therapy continued during military service.......In short, I wouldn't count on getting a military doctor to re-prescribe this to you.

No, its not from the docter. I am actually using it as I work out to increase my muscle strength. It's all under the counter stuff. I was just wondering if it would show. I mean it not drugs what so ever. It's a steriod for my muscle mass

ok, its like this, here we have a guy thats injecting hormones verses hundreds, perhaps thousands that don't. who would you give the nod too?

Suggest you examine not only your motives in life, but what you are doing to get there.

The military is supposed to keep making exceptions to questionable behavior, just so we can be graced with your presence?

We NEED people who are capable of exercising sound judgement. We place the ultimate of responsibilities and capabilities on these people. Injecting oneself for such a reason brings your judgement into question.

Muscle mass is not a requirement of the job. I've served with many Marines that barely weighed 145 lbs, and they were holy terrors.

Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way, I'm just trying to get you to think.

Oh I understand completely. Don't get the wrong idea though. I'm the type of person that has never considered doing drugs and I have also gotton good grades throughout school. I havent been taking anything yet but I was continplating on doing it or not. But you are right though. Thanks Gunny

Like I said, wasn't trying to hammer you or accuse you of doing any of that, but rather due to your line of questions you posted, I thought I'd just lay it out for you about how we think. I do hope that you are applying yourself towards obtaining your goals in life. Too many young folks don't have direction and are just cruising through life waiting for good things to happen to them. Man.... are they gonna be disappointed.

Oh for sure, I have already have set goals for myself. I'm not joining to get out of a bad situation or anything. I have been going to school to get my AA degree and soon my Bachelors. I just think that the Army has a lot of great oppertunaties for people that want to take advantage of them.

Behind you 100%. Get the degrees first before joining. You'll be way ahead of the game then.
