P-Days and Medical

It IS an assembly line, but they will check that you're not going to faint on them. I don't remember being given a chair, but they noticed when I felt a bit woozy and let me rest (6 vials of blood + no breakfast will do that to you).

yeah, you're going to get a dental xray in p-days. you bite down and they will get an x-ray of your jaw/teeth that will follow you to a-school.

besides that...no. you'll give blood samples, urinalysis, get shots, and get as much dental work you need in boot camp and in a-school if needed. I had alot of dental work done myself, and they're decently friendly down there and it's nice to get away from your RDC's for a bit.

no need to worry. good luck.

Oh yeah the dental xray was fun. I was in the same boat of dizzy and lack of food until they gave us our lunch meal to eat within a few minutes. Went to xray tech, placed the bite down things in my mouth and puked blue gatorade in the trash can next to me. XD I was first in line too. Still finished the xray though... Oops.

The OP should be about to graduate by now. Stale thread.

For the record, my twin brother just sent me a slew of letters from RTC. He says the only thing bad about P-Days is the fact you stay up 48 hours. The shots are quick and painless for the most part. If you relax, the peanut butter won't hurt as much!
