Bicillin specifically, I’m now in my late 20’s interested in knocking down an associates in a specific career. But the Air Force offers that same job and would include a host of other benefits.
In short my concern is the bicillin injection given in boot camp. Trying to keep the post short but not joining is something I regret being talked out of when I was younger ( maybe I never would have been exposed to c diff had I enlisted too) but I would seriously consider this over community college but of course we get to fear antibiotics for life, crazy something like this could impact such big decisions in life. Also if you claim allergy they just give a 2x daily antibiotic pill so I think you’d be better taking the shot.
Penicillins hard offenders ? Thoughts ?
What do we think about penicillin ?

Some penicillins are less offenders than others - PenVK is less so than ampicillin. Can you get an exemption if a doctor writes a note that you shouldn't be taking antibiotics unless it is a serious infection? Or perhaps they can give you something less apt to cause c difficile like doxycycline erythromycin. Why do they give everyone a shot?

I was thinking the same, why is an antibiotic compulsory?

Why? Because it’s the government lol. I believe it’s bicillin they give and I hear mixed things on the alternative pill.
As for the doctors note they wouldn’t let you enlist with that most likely
