I was in the military for 20 years, I'm just waiting on my retirement orders (Some )(@*#&)@(! paper pusher screwed up and didn't check one of the boxes, I was supposed to retire in May).

I was the Operations Sergeant for a Mobilization team, which is the same type of organization which runs Camp Shelby. I was also a Unit Assistor for several deploying units. The Unit Assistor aids the deploying unit command with dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s prior to deployment, and is one of the people charged with ensuring that the deploying unit's training and personnel are up to snuff. (Actually the unit I'm retiring from has several people at Shelby as trainers.) In addition, I was a trainer for weapons ranges and communications classes.

Unless they have radically changed the deployment process (highly doubtful), when he gets to Shelby he will undergo further medical screening within 72 hours of arrival. If they find a problem which will keep him from deploying, he will be released back to his home unit or higher command within 10 days of arrival.
