Does anyone know exactly what the shots they give you during bootcamp are? Someone said its about 12 shots given, six in each arm.. but does anyone know what they are?

If you already have some, then you will not get the shot. I only got about 6 shots when I was there. The PB shot doesnt hurt that badly, it is just uncomfortable... unless your one of the lucky ones that are allergic to penicillin..

Just had a DEP meeting and had a guy told us about the shot process. The max you may get is 7 during P days unless you are a certain rate. If you got the shot before hand, then some still give it to you. You get 3 in each arm and the PB shot.
Was told Females don't get the PB shot, instead they have to swallow a pill. Not 100% sure if it's accurate but a guy who just got out of boot camp 2 months ago said so. You get more shots through out boot camp to renew the ones you got during P days. |

And females WILL receive the PB shot. Some recruits for very specific medical reasons will have to take pills as a substitute. So expect the PB shot and know that it is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. p.s. I graduated boot a 3 weeks ago. This info is very current. |
