I'm not lazy, I'm disabled.
I read a post about Creatine and MEPS a while ago on this board and thought I'd share my own experience with it...
I take Creatine when I lift and I supplement my calorie intake with protein powder.
I went to MEPS a week ago. I wrote down Creatine on the medical history where it asked if I was taking any medications, drugs, or any substances to improve attention, behavior, or physical performance. Nobody cared that I was taking Creatine. The only people that said anything just said I couldn't use it at OCS or TBS.
But when I did my "whiz quiz" my piss got flagged for "too much protein." They said that 9 out of 10 times its because the person simply has too much protein in their body. They also said the only reason why it got flagged was because drug users sometimes use protein to trick the test.
Creatine at MEPS is not a problem, only a hassle. If I could go back I'd get off Creatine and the other supplements at least a couple weeks prior to MEPS. Just tryin to help others avoid the headache...
