EDIT: Confirmed with my recruiter. They will check and send home for STD's. I'd get tested beforehand if there's any worry...

They do not send home for curable STD's. They'll give you meds for it. My bunk mate had an STD at boot and she was on antibotics for a few weeks. Unless they've changed in the past 4 years, which I doubt. The Navy is full of STD's and even HIV positive people.
