If you have insurance it wouldn't hurt to get a PAP beforehand. But it really won't make that much of a difference to get it done there. The medical process is pretty streamlined.

I was told that if I went to the doctors for my PAP prior to leaving it could push it back, is that not true? Should I talk to my recruiter cause I'd rather get it before I leave.

Technically, yes. Because it will have to go into your medical record and so meps will have to review it as a change to your medical history. However, assuming there's nothing weird on your pap, and you have enough time before you ship, it shouldn't matter.
That being said, like I said in my earlier post, it is not a big deal to just have the navy do it for you. They have the system streamlined enough that it won't cause you any hardship during boot camp.

Okay cool, I didn't see that. I'll probably just wait. Thank you so much.
