They've loosened the grip. When we walked them they were always in a somewhat good mood. But Many of them were medical, and they seemed happier than the admins.

In light of the death that occurred last week at boot, I would think a medical waiver for high blood pressure that "could" lead to heart problems later, might be a hard thing to get at this point...even if the death was not blood pressure related but died due a slip and fall and hitting their head.,..rather minor IMO

I would say it might depends on just how high his blood pressure is and how much it fluctuates.

I agree!! There will be alot of subtle changes that will occur i'm sure.

My biggest question is, what do they consider HBP?

I got flagged at MEPS, then again in P-Days, but they never really mentioned it again, I just had to give them one "good" BPT so.. IDK how severe it must have to be to get seperated for it. But it's not like an instant "oh yours is high, NO NAVY FOR YOU!"

Yeah at MEPS I was around 130/80, which is technically high but I was nervous as hell so they left it.

If MEPS noticed it they will check you again at RTC. But they let you do "breathing exercises" first to lower it.
