But like I said, in this situation, I would highly recommend letting the navy take care of it.

Navy medicine sources are down at the moment, but this may be correct. I Can't check the actual instructions to confirm right now.

I See information elsewhere saying you can bring pap results 6 months prior, however I see other information that states that you're likely to get one done anyways. This makes sense as your civilian results will likely not be logged appropriately in the system (Just the nature of the beast).

I Would stick to letting the Navy take care of it for this reason. there's a substantial probability that they'll just ask you to redo it within the military health system. Get it logged into ALHTA and then its there for life. You wont have to sweat just having to have it redone in the fleet.
