It's not an offense. If a military doctor clears you, then you're cleared. If the SGLI has any issues, they need to take it up with the military doctor who cleared you. This is not your problem. That is why the military has military doctors. Stop pretending to be one. Stop refering to non-military doctors, they have no power here, unless expressily given power by your commanding officer.
Military doctors should be easy. If you're bleeding to death from a sucking chest wound, they'll give you 800mg ibuprofin. If you're not, they'll find nothing wrong and expect to be called "Captain" for getting C's in med school.
Oh ok, i havent joined yet, this is mostly info based off what some doctors had told me a few months ago. It's a very weird disease, because on paper, im terminal, but in practice, i exhibit(by the doctor's own words) none of the symptoms of the disease. So the doctor can not really tell what the fuck i have, except that my breathing is obstructed. I think i should stop mixing non mil resources with mil resources, its just confusing me, and making what should be a simple matter, much more complicated
If its a military problem, then a military doctor will disqualify you. Federal Law protects your past medical information under HIPPA. It does not protect you if you choose to disclose past medical issues. The military is required to follow federal law. If the military doctor misses it, then that's the military doctor's problem, you're not a doctor and you are not required to violate federal law and release sensitive information such as confidential medical information of anyone without a written release consent form. I assume you've not been given a written consent release form for each and every specific doctor, quick care facility, and hospital you've ever visited.
Stick to this script and you are clear, in compliance with all recruitment rules and laws, and destined for great thing in a future career in the federal bureacracy.
