Going to BOOT CAMP with ASTHMA... ADVICE PLEASE!!?!
Question: Going to BOOT CAMP with ASTHMA!.!.!. ADVICE PLEASE!!!?
Hi, I was at MEPS the other day for my physical, and totally lied about my medical condition!. My sort of asthma is that I will need my inhaler on me all through boot camp, and I am wondering in how the heck I will be able to do that with out any drill instructor finding out!. I am not the type to be using it for every type of movement I will do but I simply just need it at hand!. I am also wondering when you arrive at boot camp do they check your pockets when changing clothes to see if you have an inhaler on you!? Can I get a waiver so that I am able to have my inhaler on me at all times!? Please get at me! !.!.!.!.

I was in boot camp in 1987!. They did not check pockets but, physical education clothes don't have pockets!. There is sick call and if you go there I am sure you can get what you need however, if it is pretty serious there is a possibility of getting the boot I suppose!. My friend in the army had asthma and I remember her having an attack in Korea during regular duty!. Well she survived her whole tour of duty but, I did not meet her until after boot camp so I don't know what she did at that time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
