embarrassing
Hi this is kind of an embarrassing question but i was just wondering during the physical portion or Pdays of bootcamp do they check for stds? I know that they check for HIV/AIDS but what about chlamydia, gonorrhea, etc.? And if i did get tested positive would i be disqualified and be sent home?

I'm pretty sure they'd test for that, I know a couple guys who got DQ'd and separated for things like Hepatitis.
I'd wait for a reply from somebody a bit more knowledgeable in this subject rather than take my word

My friend just got back from boot, he said two people got sent home for having chlamydia. Apparently it is considered an open sore and potential infectant and the navy does not want that spreading. My chief said he will kick out anyone with an STD from the DEP pool. They don't **** around with anything bloodborne. I'd ask your recruiter but it's probably not going to be a good answer.
EDIT: Confirmed with my recruiter. They will check and send home for STD's. I'd get tested beforehand if there's any worry... |
