Well, you might get blood drawn during in-processing. It depends how current your labs are. I'll tell you this, at no time during my 12 weeks at OCS did they draw blood from me at medical. Now out in the TA, that's an entirely different story :icon_wink
I was a f@%#ing pin cushion for those masochists at medical during both in processings. The wrap on that candidate in the picture is just to hold her little gauze pad in place while she's hurring from place to place with her large and small bag issue in tow. Wasn't that long ago for some us. Good to be done. Roger that?
Ahh, I was standing on the other side of the parade deck forming up before marching to chow, watching those females get their Pick Up Day delights. Yes, laughing at them. Yes, glad our day was 5-6 weeks past.
I too was a pin-cushion at medical on our day. I had to get blood-drawn and got about 6-7 shots since I didn't bring my shot records. We then went and ran a PFT the next morning- hows that for a mindf&*%? Telling you all these shots will most likely make you sick in the next couple days, then making you run your first physical event then next day. I wanted to die. For the record - I didn't get sick. But I was wishing for a quick death while running the 3 mile the next day. Honest to god, that was the hardest part of OCS for me - running the first PFT. You are exhausted already, not used to the climate (if not from that type of environment), and all sorts of trash. Good times!!!

Get used to it, I have had four different instances where I was checking into a new command in my career so far. At each check in, I have completed the full battery of shots. Oh yeah, and I NEARLY completed the full battery of shots pre-deployment as well, because the same doc who gave me the shots the last time claimed that "the last guy didn't mark it in your file"... I said "YOU did it!" and he said "oh let me double check... yeah I thought I remembered you sorry about that sir". If you joined the Marine Corps not good with needles, you will become an expert.
