Is HGH tested for in your blood for the military?
I’ve been thinking about taking HGH so I can get bigger and stronger before basic training! Do they test for this in your blood?
Do they test normally, no. But they could if they had reason to think you were using it. Testing everybody would be too expensive. On your entry questionnaire you were asked if you have ever illegally used anabolic steroids (HGH counts). Based on your age (I’m guessing 18-24) you have no legitimate medical need for hormone replacement. If you did, you would not qualify for military service. Any hormone if used without proper medical supervision can cause severe long term problems. You’re body is still changing too much. They should not be considered until you are at least in your mid 20′s and after you do a considerable amount of research. Don’t try to find a "quick fix" which might harm you and is ILLEGAL…

Yes.
And don’t worry about being bigger and stronger for basic training.
Basic will make you that way.
