No. I don't or they would have never let me into the marine corps.

Even if you had an allergy to pet fur?

MEPS doctors are nazis about criteria. I've seen people get an ELS for just things as simple as a rash.

I'm not military myself, so the acronyms are gobbledygook to me, sorry.

Entry Level Separation or ELS is where someone gets removed from marine corps recruit training, and recommended for separation (termination) before their contract (8 years in terms of the corps) before 180 days.

I get a little bit of flem and mucus but nothing overboard.

Is that a bit like being medically discharged during training?

I'm familiar with the British army terms for the equivalent. Although, in some instances they may ask you to restart training (backsquadding) if you have certain conditions. I know a few people have been able to do that after shin splints and minor injuries. But if you have eczema you're categorically screwed because it classifies as an "open wound". I'd assume that would be true for the marines as well.

Some people on the way out were, but the difference is that if you get ELS you aren't entitled to any benefits.

Oh damn. That sucks. I know people who did only a couple weeks training and technically got veteran benefits. I'm not sure how long for, though.

As a child, I was allergic to oranges. If I ate an orange, I would walk around with red pimples for a month. It was horrible because I had to limit myself. I don't like restrictions. As a teenager, my allergy to oranges and all citrus disappeared. But a new one started - for nuts.

Damn that sucks. It's amazing how much allergies change from childhood to adulthood.

I have a dust allergy. And that is horrible! Sneezing every time I walk in new room.

It's incredible how many people are allergic to dust (most of all humans do to some extent lol), despite the fact it is always present and impossible to completely eliminate. I wish there was a true cure to allergies!
