...for steroids. A buddy of mine at the gym just got back from active duty (bahrain) and is now recruiting...he said they tested them over there and are testing here also, both new boots and existing members...he said it is because of the influx of use lately and they are "randomly" selecting people they think need to be tested as well as others...
that sucks .....There weren't when I was in. Semper FI
ya...i just hope it doesnt spread to the other branches...
Just another stupid move of Bush. Why in the world would you not want your soldiers to be more performance enhanced? This is not MLB we're talking about! When I'm on I definatley am more alert and in tune with my surroundings, and confidence is a proven pyscological beneifit during combat.
Shame on our goverment for stopping our boys from whatever gives them the edge they desire while putting their lives on the line for all of us.
GOOOOOOOOO! Bush!
Fvcking government...
im a former marine... when we were in iraq, a couple guys ran into some iraqi gear... weak crap but hey its gear. they drug test and roid test in war and when i came back, roid testing in units became used more and more. (drug testing in war - my x gf's husband was smuggling hashish from iraq *i wont say how*)
Prop cycles work wonders I hear in that case, but as a solider it'd be hard to do ED shots (deployed)
NO SH1T!?! Kinda knew it was coming though. Glad I'm out. If anyone on here is still in the service, good luck and stay safe. SEMPER FI.
WTF. Gear is the best thing for those guys, especially over in Iraq. It helps mask injuries, makes you more aggressive, you recover faster, etc etc. Lets just put it in simple terms, a geared up Marine would be quicker to kill more rag heads, even with his bare hands if he had to.
Odd because the paper said recently that the USA drug market is absolutely loaded with iraqi hashish. In fact they said nothing is being shipped from Iraq to USA so it must be riding with military transportation. Supposedly in towns with military bases, the regions around the bases have hashish available from every dealer lately and there hasnt been so much hash on the streets in 25 years.Quote:

With shit falling apart in New Orleans and Mississippi and Texas (where money needs to be spent) tax money is spent on keeping the breaking of baseball records "legit". FVck gets me so pissed, but like it or not we still live in the best country on the fvcking planet!!!
hell yea bro, id much rather live in america than anywhere else. i mean, what could be better than freedom and slutty girls?
Throw in some Legal Gear and this place would be better than Amsterdam!!!!:7up:Quote:

Fuk - I'd rather have a platoon full of in-shaped, jacked Marines than a bunch of fat Rangers...
i agree totally...wouldnt wanna live anywhere else :0flag:Quote:

yeah if i was in charge of random testing i bet you i could guess 8-10 guys who are on juice as could the rest of you on here.. the skinny guys not getting tested..
reserves don't have as big a budget as active duty side so you may not get hit, besides with tests running almost $1,000 a pop they might not be as strict, I would say get buff before going in that way they'll think you've always been big, but you might lose alot of your gains in boot camp, you'll fvcking slim down as hell!

I agree ...I can not see the military constantly spending that amount of money for each test all the time unless it was a mandate......
oh and by the way **** YOU .....who do marines get trained by for their recon units by RANGERS
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move farther, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.
Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One-hundred-percent and then some.
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
bush is on HRT....
:?: In regards to, "Fuk - I'd rather have a platoon full of in-shaped, jacked Marines than a bunch of fat Rangers..." let me clear up what I meant.Quote:

And the Red type was a nice added touch :wg: Sorry if I came off as arogant or unappreciative....
BTW - this is the first I heard of Army Rangers training Marine Force Recon... it doesn't make sense really - they have two different mission statements... but I guess they do have some simular interests/objectives at times, which the Marines could learn from...
The military has always tested w/ probale cause. Nothings come across saying there been a change. Now if some knucklehead put on 40lbs in 6 weeks or couldn't be discreet about his usage then that something else that may snowball but the govt priorties are jacked.
This statement is to be true, they test for it under probable cause. I just tested yesterday for the Army, first time enlistment for me at age 32. I passed my piss test and they only bleed you for HIV and AIDS. I only been off cycle for like a month and a half. All branches test at MEPS so it doesnt matter what service you join, you will be tested for the same. As for currently enlisted servicemen, random testing is already being done by all branches and a few have been busted here in Hawaii. This is rough, but hey, if you keep your nose clean and lay low, they may never get to you at all for testing.Quote:
