Drug testing and shots
Quote:
What happens if future sailors arrive and don't pass the initial drug test at Great Lakes, even though they passed at MEPS originally? Is there a chance to retake or so they send you straight home? I have a family member who is shipping soon. People smoke stuff around him all the time. But he doesn't do anything. Also, if he takes his immunization papers when he ships off, will he be free of getting a million shots at Great Lakes? Oh, one more question: What do we pack to ship to him for A school? He'll be at Great Lakes for A school. |

If he pops the drug test he'll get the boot no questions asked. The Navy doesn't play with drug tests. We had a dude fail the initial test and they sent him packing. If he takes immunization papers they'll probably let him skate on some of the shots. But good luck dealing with them. Medical was not fun.
For A school I'd send him some civilian clothes, cell phone, books if he's a reader, maybe some snacks. Once he gets through the initial phase 1 week or so he'll be able to leave the base to pick up whatever he needs. Plus there's a NEX there so he'll be able to get food and clothes. I was in Pensacola, and the only thing I really wanted my wife to send me was some pictures of my kids and my cell phone. |

Ah, so that's what that's called. I think that's a pretty cool method personally. I felt bad for the recruits that had to get every shot though. Poor souls.
