Hearing test in bootcamp

You’ll take the whole vision exam and hearing exam. You won’t get sent home unless your blind or deaf. As far as sexual infections, they only test for hiv. Maybe hepatitis. All this is supposed to be taken care of at MEPS. But you get another go at it in boot camp. If you passed at MEPS you’ll probably be fine in boot. The worst part of it is the high stress environment.

You should have gotten a work up at MEPS, but they'll test for a few again when you get there. A Corpsman could probably answer what they test for, but being an airdale, I didn't care to ask. All I know is that some of the blood they take is used to put your DNA on record for remains identification. Any bacterial infection you got should be taken care of with the peanut butter shot, or the pills if you're allergic like I am.

If you're worried about having STD's, you should go to a clinic and get a panel done. Usually it's free, or very cheap.
