i'm actually looking forward to 13 minutes in the teargas chamber..hehe... I was caught in the middle of the Guns & Roses riot at GM place back November, and inhaled quite a bit of teargas... I didn't seem to mind it nearly as much as my friends, who were gagging, and felt like crap for days after.. Eyes were a little sore, bit of a sore throat for an hour, but I held on ok.

hey, assuming that one had already ordered m1t in my physical condition, how would you recommend I go about taking it in doses for a three week cycle? I had already ordered it prior to posting my first, and i'm assuming its already en route so I do not feel its appropriate to cancel the order. Should I take small doses, or perhaps liver protection supplements? probably should have already stated above that I already ordered it... ooops.

so liver protection, 6 meals a day, hard work outs , running, endurance building, lots of calories, and mammoth2500 ?

thanks,
Chris

Like I, and some others said, you don't need m1t, not right now, not when you're first starting, cause you're talking steroids here... not some vitamins.

When are starting basic training?

P.S. the gas chamber is 10 times stronger than you experienced on the street, cause in the chamber the gas is all compressed into one tiny room, notin the opem outdoors, I garantee you you won't last more than 1 sec. without your mask on.

[hurley99]

by the way where did you order m1t from???????

I gave the cash to my buddy Jon, I think he ordered it from 1fast400 because they are the best at getting the stuff into Canada..
I've been trying to get through to recruiters for a week now, I'm just gonna go in and meet them in person on monday.. Not very adapt at getting around Vancouver, so this should be fun hehe......

Assuming my application etc is accepted, how long until training?

[hurley99]

You're going in reserves, right? If so, you'll be starting this summer; you'll first do BMQ (basic), then SQ (soldier) and lastly you'll do BIQ (infantry) This summer though, you'll only be doing BMQ and SQ which will take up 2 months.

If you're going reg force, then each course will last 3 months so to be fully qualified, you'll need 9 months of training. Reserves however, each course is 1 month so you'll qualify in 3 months.

gonna be regular infantry... assuming that beginning monday, if the application is approved within 3 weeks, how long must I wait until I get shipped off to training? I've wanted to do this for a long time, and with my newfound unemployment, I've found I have far too much time on my hands.... I'm gonna do what i've always wanted to do... I've heard horror stories about lost applications and how they can just take forever to approve applicants. Being infantry (in demand apparently) , I should have little problem actually getting into the trade I want..

[hurley99]

those stories are true! lol If there's anything the military is good at, its loosing papers and documents, so I suggest you start your application as soon as possible cause its gonna be a long process.

alright...
Well, first of all, when I was little I had mild bouts of asthma..I haven't had problems with it in well over 10 years, and as far as my doctor is concerned, I don't have asthma... Will this be a problem? I know that in the US army they are willing to led it slide if you pass a Pulmonary Function Test to prove your lungs can hold under stress (forced, and enviormental)..
I was also wondering about the initial fitness test to see if your strong enough for training.... are the pushups timed? And with the situps, will my feet be held down, or should I learn to do it with say ,being in the middle of a open room?

[hurley99]

I wouldn't worry about your asthma, during the fitness test, they'll make you go up and down staires and then check your heart rate and your breathing so they'll let you know if there's any problem. But if you say you haven't had symptoms for 10 years, than you're fine.

push-ups are not timed, sit-ups are done with your feet held down. Don't worry about the fitness test, its the easiest thing in the world. Worry more about returning your application as soon as possible with no mistakes so there won't be further complications.

I have one more question... I know that tattoos are tolerated.. however, the tail of my dragon tat on my right arm ends right between my thumb and forefinger... is this going to be an issue?
