| 4b5The Marines have strong ccernons for maintaining one's health. We want to build you up; not break you down. Bootcamp is demanding!!! Prior to shipping ot bootcamp the future Marines see the MEPS physician one more time to review his current health and anything that may have occured during his time in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP). This future Marine needs to have good contact with his recruiter about the injury. Usually the recruiter with contact the individual's person physician & obtain the appropriate medical documents regarding his current or final disposition. Obviously the intent is not to send an injured (temporarily disqualified) Recruit to bootcamp. Shipping dates can be adjusted to ensure the future Marine heals prior to departing to bootcamp. A few injuries can still allow a future Marine to ship on time & bootcamp will make adjustments for him/her (although this is rare). ANd some ailments end up being a total disqualifier fo rthe future Marine. But he will be in good hands with the recruiter. Recruiters know what is needed; make sure he sees his recruiter & discusses this.
