I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with whether acne medications are permitted during BCT.

A memorandum sent from the cadet medicine clinic says that:

All medications in your possession during in-processing, including over-the-counter sports supplements, will be examined by an Air Force medical officer. At that time, it will be determined if you may keep the medication(s).

I think I remember hearing (but may be making up) that all non-critical medications will be taken. If that is true, I would presume that acne meds fall into the non-critical category.

Thoughts? Thanks! We should all be in Colorado Springs 14 days from now...
 
When they arrive, all medications, prescription or over the counter, will be taken. They will all be re-issued by the medical department. Just one more way to ensure that nothing illicit enters the academy.
 
I called the clinic and asked if my son could take his prescription acne medication Benza-Clin with him to inprocessing. They said as long as he had a prescription for it and he brought the prescription with him, it would be allowed.
 
I was wondering
I have a prescription and I dont have a copy of the paper because they said they could not give me one
but the container has a label on it from the pharmacy saying it is my prescription and what it is. will this be good enough

BenzaClin is one of the medicines I use, so that's good to know! And to second what engineer2013 is asking, do they want a written prescription script or should the labeling be sufficient?
 
for the meds i have to bring, my pharmacy just made a copy of the prescription that the doc wrote, and the office gave me a full report of my visit for the day i was prescribed. if that helps any... maybe you guys could get the same.
