what happen if you have testicular cancer and you are about to be ship out to bootcamp?
my friend was asking me about this and we are both going to bootcamp on next 2-3 months.. is testicular cancer will delay him from going to bootcamp or the military will just going to kick him out?
Any significant medical condition such as that is disqualifying. Assuming that they discover it before he ships out, they’ll tear up his contract. If it’s discovered in basic, he’ll be separated and sent home.
If they can substantiate that he knew about it in advance and withheld it they technically could prosecute him for Fraudulent Enlistment but that would be exceedingly unusual for a medical condition. That’s usually reserved for undisclosed criminal convictions or undisclosed drug abuse or other issues of "moral turpitude."

Yeah, that will definitely get him out.

well if its the marines then you will be very used to the term "no balls"

the drill sargent will take it away from him, it ain’t army issue. if the corp decides that you need one, they will issue one.

I am very surprised they even let him through MEPS with testicular cancer.. he must have lied about it or they would not have let him through and he never would have gotten a ship out date.
If he doesn’t tell his recruiter about it, then he can ship out whenever he wants. But if you want my advice, he better get that taken care of now because the military will always be there later. Cancer aint nothin to f*ck with.

they will let him out of his contract with the military

Most likely he won’t go. But he can possibly be accepted and simply taken care of..the reason i think this is most people don’t volunteer to do that sort of stuff which makes people who do a great help so its kinda 50 50 =]

Unless it’s fully treated before his report date, he’s SOL. Better let your recruiter know ASAP.

he would be discharged for medical reasons, so he wouldnt go likely wouldnt be eligible to go ever again

He’s disqualified from entry. Current or history of malignant tumors is disqualifying. The source below is the medical standard. He will be separated before his shipping date. Have him get in touch with his recruiter as soon as possible.

he will not be shipping. Cancer is a PDQ, waivers only authorized after five years being cancer free.
if he LIED about having cancer, he will be found out and discharged with a Fraudulent enlistment code and never be permitted to try and get in again.
