Okay so while they realize white coat syndrome is a thing, I did meet a guy who got sepped for his blood pressure - it was always over what they wanted it to be.
Sick isn't a big deal, you've got lots of people coming from different places every day, and they do bring germs with them. If you're SIQ for too many days they may ASMO you to a different division, but the only time I saw that happen was with pneumonia.
Injuries are a big problem. I can say this because I had one. I went to RCU aka medical hold the same day my division went to battlestations, and didn't graduate until 2 months later than I should have. Basically if you aren't FFD by 180 days from your arrival at bootcamp you get sepped for not recovering fast enough. If you have anything more than a minor injury I would recommend going home and waiting until you're better.
