what are some of the reasons that you can get kicked out of boot camp? after you go through meps can they kick you out for physical reasons? Im just wondering, because i have had a lifestyle change with my wife and kids. we are anticipating on moving, lifestyle change, my wife getting another job. ect... I would hate to make all these changes and get kicked out of the army for some medical reason. even though i have given them all my medical records.

You should be fine. As long as you've passed your physical and you give it your full effort you will make it through. Only a very few don't and it's generally because of attitude more than anything else. There are a few problems which could come up even after passing a physical like bed wetting or sleep walking, but those aren't that common. The others who don't make it will likely have a hard time in life generally...total screw ups. Just plain unwillingness to push themselves in PT...chronically falling out on runs despite receiving "special" attention. I knew one recruit who shot a grand total of 7 points on the rifle range....you almost have to work to be that bad...along with being unable to march in step, learn how to do things like field strip his weapon etc, eventually he was sent home. I seriously doubt you will fall into these categories. Just relax and enjoy...you are in for an experience. Good luck to you and thank you for joining.

Yes they can. however it has to be something massive. Example would be if you keep passing out during PT. If you break under the pressure of the 1st 4 weeks. If you developed ulcers, migrains chronic back pain anything that can't be treated is grounds for dismissal. In these times I'll bet they"ll be very easy going in this dept. with the shortages in manpower going on. If it's really scareing you tell your wife to wait until you graduate boot. It's a good idea to wait until you know which base you'll be stationed at so your wife can start there not at boot which will only be a few months unless your going to school there as well then it might be worth your while to move but i doubt it you could flunk your A school and be shipped out immediately as a infantry or a seaman bottom of the barrel.

Any medical reason that prohibits you from being able to deploy will get you out any time. Even after training, if you can't deploy, you will get processed out. This is to keep you from injuring yourself further and causing the military to pay you more money in disability. It doesnt matter what stage of your career you are in, if you cant deploy, most likely you will be processed out for separation from military service for medical reasons. This is an HONORABLE DISCHARGE!

If they found out that you lied on your original application about anything.
If you get injured, a friend got kicked out for a busted back.
If you can't meet the physical requirements and or times.
If you hit any instructor, or get caught stealing.

be gay as you can be., at least Americans still have this option... you are kinda stuck unless you have a really bad accident. they probably figured that since you went trough training you can handle the common cold, you are gonna have to think big on this one.

Address the issue with your recruiter and ask him or her to put it in writing!
