We are going to start something new here. We have been seeing more and more signs that hormone balance is an epidemic in the military. Even among those who look healthy. Recently we saw test results showing that SOF selection courses can throw healthy 19-25 year olds into clinically low testosterone states. We have been speaking to military training instructors and Drill Sergeants who are experiencing a variety of health issues stemming from chronic stress and lack of sleep. We want to start collecting data so that we can compel the DOD to engage in a series of studies to optimize their training and scheduling. To be clear, we know exactly what the problems are and the solutions. They are very simple. However, the DOD does not and they are not interested. We want this body of evidence to push them into correct action. So, if you are going to ANY SOF selection course or you work as a Drill Sergeant, ATC, MP, etc... where schedules simply suck and/or change often, stress is high, sleep is low, physical activity is high, etc... We want to hear from you. We will be building a new, simple site where you can go, register, get the information to do the tests and then report the tests. You can do this on your own, or if you can convince the military doctor you see to order the tests through the base lab, even better. We will not be collecting personal data beyond your name and e-mail address and some biographical data so we can sort the data. The DOD has the ability to do wide ranging studies in this area but they need to be pushed into it. Your data will help shape a better future for the military. Standby for more details.
