    Also, about the itching. I think they gave me an epipen due to the itching because I was itching in areas where I was not stung at. Obviously, I don't know the exact reason I was prescribed one. I was just told it was precautionary. But the whole reason we even went to the doctor's, was because...

    Asthma

    Hi, I'm really interested in joining either the Air Force or Army, and want to join ROTC my sophomore year in college (in going to be a freshman this fall, and am going to try to take some ROTC classes), but I'm well aware of the asthma DQ issues and such. I've read over the DoDMERB standards...
