Seems like just a matter of time until this logic extends to mandatory HGH and anabolic steroids for all soldiers or something.

Are recruiting numbers really strong over the past year? Are they projected to remain that way? Is the military going to be using AI to reduce headcount?

Are they going to force a lot of older soldiers into retirement to make for a new younger cadre of loyalists?

After I started on the TRT I dropped fat, put on muscle mass, my depression went down and I found myself not wanting to simply sleep all day every day.

I can't imagine life without it. Would regular exercising do the same thing? Maybe. But if I did exercise and TRT I think the results would be better and faster.

So to me this makes sense, maybe not the forced option but I don't think you'd find many men in the military that wouldn't want this done voluntarily if it has no cost.

I pay for it out of pocket and I hate missing a week, I notice it. I haven't had any downsides that I'm aware of other than the cost.
