Have you been to MEPS yet?

No. No one will talk to me past the initial interview, need to drop my weight a good bit

How much do you weigh?

250. Need to be at 210 for 6'4

Where do you carry most of it?

Stomach and upper chest. Although I've lost a lot of inches off my body the last 8 months, the scale hasnt moved any

Cardio. Run like a motherfucker. Focus on burning calories and fat.

Yep, I've been doing it. Slow going, but progress is progress. Running 5 days a week, plus all the miles at work

Add a little weight

Like to a pack or somethin

I do have a weight vest, I'll throw on 10~20 my next outing. Doing 7 miles tomorrow before work

Gotcha

Also be careful about building too much muscle

I'm trying not to, but still have to meet the standards, ya know?

Oh no doubt but I've seen dudes get failed due to muscle weight

Which is bullshit

It should be

But hey, thats common sense. And you just cant have that in the corps

Youre not wrong

They only make blues in one size, uncomfortable

Idk, my CAP blues were pretty sweet. They were very kind to me in high school

Dress blues aren't bad Tbh but you're not supposed to breathe in them

We got them extra tailored for color guard. Theres a pic waaaaaay up there of my winning NY wing team

I saw

But if I had to rank blues it'd be usmc, air force, army, navy. Coast guard gets a partcipation trophy

You're not wrong

If the army actual switches back to to ww2 uniform. It wouldnt be so bad

Then they might move up. Those pink and greens are classic

Did you ever seen the older gloves?

I dont think I have

I think they were phased out in the late 90's

I only remember because when I was little my dad would talk mad shit about the army's dress uniform lol

Can't relate. First in my family to consider the military. Which is weird when your parents are a doctor and an engineer lol

It's like that sometimes

Pretty much everyone but my grandpa on my mom's side served

He became a preacher

Talk about being the odd man out

No kidding. Im a little surprised he didnt consider becoming a chaplain

They tried to get him to be but he wasn't for it

He was rock solid on his purpose then. No shaking that kind of conviction

I spose not
