Medical at Boot Camp

[griz3232]

I wear what I guess they call a flipper in my mouth. It is pretty much a deal that holds a fake tooth wear I do not have one. a cheap cheap version of an implant I guess. Will they do a better false tooth i.e a bridge while I am there or will I have to wait till I get to A school

Girls will also get a pregnancy test, some of those girls will be sent home because they whored around before they left.

I was very glad to get rid of my BCG's.. I dumped them in my drinking glass the morning of my last boot camp meal before going to A school. The guy cleaning dishes was like HEY YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I was like whatever dude.. I'm outta here.

Dude, you could stand to be a bit less judgemental, and work on your attitude toward women. They obviously had sex before they left. So did a lot of the guys, but you don't say they "whored around" about men, do you? Too, some of those women likely were in committed relationships, so it was just a birth control failure. You don't know and it is none of your business. Nothing about a woman's sexual behavior is any of your business unless it involves you personally, nor does her supposed promiscuity entitle anyone to disrespect her personal boundaries.

Women get pregnant, men don't. Doesn't mean men don't "whore around" just as much (if not WAY more) than women do, but it DOES mean that female Future Sailors have to be a little more careful with themselves in the months before shipping. Simple fact.

Besides, while you say that "some" were probably in committed relationships, that leaves another chunk of "some" who might be unabashedly promiscuous.

My bad. I should have been more specific. EVERY girl in my division that was sent home because they found out they were pregnant in boot camp were all crying uncontrollably and tell us their "mistakes" and such. Not ONE of them said "Oh, my silly husband and his condom broke" No.. they ALL said "waaa waa I slept with someone I didn't know and got knocked up" I might be paraphrasing it a little.

This may or may not be the case with girls in other divisions.. and if not, then I apologize

My challenge was to your demeaning terminology, and the implied misogyny. Yeah, those girls did something stupid, no argument there. There's a real news flash: young people doing stupid things! It isn't cause to use such ugly words.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that some people (guys and girls) will whore around before basic and get booted (it will just take a bit longer for the guys who do it to be found out).

You are going to need to thicken your skin a bit if you want to be able to handle being in the military.

On the contrary, YOU might want to start taming your tongue. Saying things like that in the fleet can get you into serious trouble. At least, if you say it to the wrong person.
