Deployed and need help bulking

I am in the military and currently deployed. I want to bulk up for 3 months and then cut the last 2. I currently weigh around 190 and would like to hit 215, though I dont know how logical that is in 3 months. I also take in 3 shakes of true mass a day, around 1800 calories just in shakes. I eat usually at 7 then 9 then lunch @ 1300, then shake around 1500, dinner at 1700, GYM, then another dinner @ 1900.

I was hoping to get some advice, and possibly a food log of what I should be eating to bulk. Should I just go cheese burger crazy? I would like to maintain my cut, but I can always get it back when I cut.

I would also like to gain a workout plan. Right now I am all over the place and I usually go with reps around 12-10-8-6-4, pending on excersise, but usually stick to the paramid reps. SHould I just stick to heavy weight b/c I am bulking and keep the high reps (12-15) out of my plan? I love drop sets and tend to do those very often which obviously leads to high reps. Should I cut that out? What about negatives and pause reps? ANYTHING will help. Thank you for those who read and a bigger thanks to those who reply.

Schiff!

I'd say what's most important is you keep varying your lifts rather than being overly concerned with whether it should be low reps, drop sets, etc. I though the more difficult aspect of bulking and gaining was your access to food and supplements while deployed. To take it to the next level, your diet and supplementation needs to be impeccable. Look in the nutrition section for the "Perfect Supplement Plan" thread and compare to your own routine. Also, Jason's group has some workout plans in there where he also posted his diet for the day. Compare that to yours. I think the issue may be more in your diet and whether you get enough rest (i.e. do they make you PT/do cardio) than your routines.

If you ever make it to texas, look us up!! Seriously!!
