My fiance has very high blood pressure and was told by a dentist while at AIT that he needs to get on blood pressure meds. This is even listed on his dental record now. His unit may be going overseas in the next few months. Does HBP make him undeployable? We fear a heart attack or stroke while overseas since his dad had a heart attack at a young age and there is a family history of HBP and heart attacks. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If he had persistent hypertension at AIT and it has to be controlled by medication, he is not even fit for enlistment in the first place. He needs to appear before a Medical Board and be discharged, under honorable conditions for a disqualifying condition which existed prior to entry.

The army is sending everyone and anyone over..My husband had a hot weather injury in Kuwait several years ago and almost died. He was told he wasnt allowed to be stationed anywhere hot (in his records), hence the reason we are stationed at fort drum, ny. Well guess where my husband has been for the past 12 months and the next 3 months.. thats right.. Iraq.
