Military Physical Examinations

I have military physical exam at my 18. We must go to underwear and go to room where were doctors, some generals or something like that and some secretary. He asked me to go to doctor. I must take off underwear and doctor visually checked my penis and genitals. He never touched. after that I went out of room and go home.

Bambi: nice reading. thanks !

I would totally agree that modesty in the forces is a very rare beast.

In my forces medical we were taken into the gym changing room where we had to shower, provide a sample and the only clothing we were allow to put on was a short tennis skirt. We had to walk from the changing room to the gym where there was a line of tables. We waited until each of us was called, personally I was getting more and more embarrassed in a room with so many people around (recruits, dr. nurses and admin staff)and I was topless.

We went from table to table for each exam, heart, lungs, height, blood, weight etc and when we got to final one we had to take the skirt off and hand it to the nurse. The last table was a bottle neck and you had to stand there in line waiting totally naked exposing yourself to everyone. When your time eventually came you had to lay on the table and the dr would examine your skin and then you had to turn over onto your tummy, when the exam was complete you had to walk back to the changing room and get dressed.

It is as fresh in my mind now as it was 30 odd years ago. It was totally humiliating at the time but it forced me to grow up from a shy 16 to self confident woman over night.

Libbygyno, that sounds like a very hot exam. I'm amazed that they actually made you take a shower prior to your exam. I'm assuming it was a large gang shower. Did they give you a reason for the shower? Did they think you were all somewhat dirty at the time?

And I do like the idea of you girls walking around topless with just a short tennis skirt covering up your more private parts. Very hot.

In the military there is no rhyme or reason for anything.

I do not know what it is like now, but when I was in there were 20 of us in a long missen hut with a toilet block and corporals accommodation at the end . We had one big open shower with benches and coat hooks on the opposite wall.

You could shower at anytime but it was mandatory first thing in the morning, last thing at night and after sports so we pretty much all showered together. When we first started we were all shy things that wore a towel to and from the shower but towards the end when our modesty like our clothing had been stripped away because it was so hot in the summer a lot of us slept naked and would get out of bed and walk to the shower with the towel in our hand.

When we first left the room some of the girls were a bit cocky strutting around like peacocks, but when they got into the gym they all changed.

When it was time to get your feet examined you had to sit on a table and rest each foot on the doctors lap in turn and he examined them. It was not until afterwards that it dawned on me that I had been exposing my bare pussy to the doctor all the time I was on the table.

The exam was the most embarrassing time of my life, I was really shy then. As I said when the exam had finished you had to walk back to the changing room naked though a room full of people, and some on the males looked only a year or so older than me.

As a medical clerk with the forces I have to be in when the annual physicals are being done in the gym - it is hell

I did it when I was 19 for ROTC. Assembly line medicine was quite a change from having a single physician.

Nothing like pure equanimity of the forces in the military. Just be glad they changed gloves.

It was not until I got to my next camp that I was able to find out that when the boys had theirs done, they were naked throughout.

I often wonder if the military's preoccupation with nudity is for practical purposes or control.

When I had my heart checked at school it was in bra and panties, in the military every Friday night in basic you had to shower, wrap a towel around you and stand by your bed. When the M.O. came up to you, you had to give your name, service number, take your towel off, stand on a pair of scales and then he would seth you.

Apart from the obvious medical procedure, why the nudism? if it was to get us use to it - it worked, in the end we never bothered with a towel and all waited nude.

On a practical note, it made life a lot easier. When you are eating, sleeping, dressing/undressing or showering with twenty other people in such close confines to be shy would I think make the experience awful.

It was made always at camp side... hahahaha i was exhausted of walking, and well the doctor was a rude person and make us became nude... it was annoying because i was with 10 people

My first military physical was at the in-processing center, and it was a lot more in depth than I would have thought it would be. I was told to strip, put on a gown and wait to be called. Me and about 50 other boys. We were given exercises to test dexterity, and coordination, then one at a time we were ushered in to see the doctor. I had heard rumors of this doctor for 6 months prior to getting here myself, he was a large man of swedish decent, but the most remarkable thing about him were his hands. They were massive, his fingers were 6-8 inches long and as big around as quarters. when I entered his office he told me to step out of the gown. Then in one ungloved hand he grabbed both of my testicles and kind of juggled them, with the other hand he inspected my penis, then i was told to turn my head and cough. Then much to my disbelief, the doctor snapped on a glove, told me to bend over the desk, lubed his hand and my hole and started sliding a finger into me. The pain was shooting through my rectum, but he kept pushing. to this day I am not sure why he had to check an 18 year old mans prostate, but apparently he did.

Libby I echo your experiences and still feel a little ‘shamed’ by the very public and ‘no-holds-barred’ examinations we were exposed to in the British Army, especially in selection. And that was being male. Being female in that medical environment, especially back in the ‘less sensitive’ days of the WRAC, must have been excruciating. We were all just shy teenagers and it did seem unnecessary.

However, I do get it now and as hideous as it sounds, the dehumanization is just part of the process of turning you into an effective soldier. Let’s face it, you’re going to be exposed to some pretty hideous things in the Army and you have to be prepared to do anything on order. Standing there butt naked amidst your fellow recruits is just part of taking down to nothing and making you all equal. And as such I do understand it.

Don’t get me wrong, the obsession with feet and foreskins, did seem perverse at best; and was sometimes administered with an almost sexual zeal by those in charge. Which in no small way contributed to my own medical fetish I suspect.

Happy days!

Many years ago I was waiting for a dental appointment at a US Navy hospital when a group of young women marched in wearing raincoats and sat down. A Navy corpsman explained to me that they were officer candidates in for their physical exam. He added that they were naked under their raincoats and motioned for me to move to another chair, one facing the door through which the women would pass for their exams.

I followed his suggestion. A corpsman came out and announced in a loud voice that any women having her period would not be examined that day and that they should return to barracks. About five very embarrassed girls stood up and walked out. Another corpsmen came out holding a folder and read off a girl's name. She was first and followed the corpsman inside. A minute later another corpsman came out and called another girl. When they went inside I noticed that the first girl was being weighed, completely naked except for his tennis shoes. The corpsman who was holding her medical file was standing next to her while another male corpsman was weighing and measuring the height of the girl who stood with her hands at her side facing away from me.

So it went for about thirty minutes. I saw several girls being weighed, one had her hands firmly covering her crotch while standing on the scales. Then the girls who had been examined started to come out and one sat next to me. She seemed in shock. I asked her how it went, seeing I was an officer she must have felt obliged to respond. She said it was the worst experience of her life. She sent from station to station accompanied by the corpsman and at almost each station she had to take off her raincoat. She said the worst exam was her pelvic which was given by a Navy doctor in a room where people, mostly make, came and went.

Just then the door opened and she saw one of the candidates walking naked to the scales. She asked if I had been there during the whole event. I said yes. She said that I might have seen her on the scales. I said it was possible but I didn't see any faces. Then I was called for my appointment and missed the rest of the show.

In my country, pubic lice prevailed in barracks widely about 30 years ago(in 1980s). So pubic hair exam was conducted by duty officers or nurse officers quarterly. In those days, because my country was ruled by military dictatorship, our social atmosphere was very forceful and authoritative. So the pitiful soldiers' dignity couldn't be protected. Moreover, in the case that the nurse officer was female the humiliation of the exam proccess was beyond description. (Generally, in my country, nurse officer is female)

If anyone of you feels interesting about this theme, I' ll write my elder brother's experience I had been told a few years ago.

Wow, some strange occurences, my first military medical for the British Army was done by a civilian Dr. A woman, in her 50's all I had to do is remove my shirt. It was a long examination, eyes, ears, blood pressure, lots of poking of my body, reflexes but not naked, a long set of questions about any medical history which there was none, the exam seemed ot be dicatated by my medical history. No nudity, nothing intrusive. When I left the army I was to have another medical at the depot, I stated to the Dr. was is really nevessary, he said no, I signed a waiver and there was no examination. Times mush have changed.

Same in here for the recruting for army: the recruits are examined together in a room in groups of ten. After they entered the room, the doctors required them to take all their clothes off, included their underwear. Then the doctor will weight them, mearsur their body and make them do some strange exercises. A person's examination can be totally seen by all the people in the exam room and outside the room(glass windows). And these examinations also include the penis and testicles exam and two bends. For the ones with ''problems'' its a glass with cold water on a near table.

Hey guys,

Has anyone ever had to undergo a physical exam prior to getting drafted?

I'm just wondering since where I come from, boys and girls are both required to serve and a physical exam is mandatory.

Its like an entire day dedicated to a medical exam where they first take blood samples and urine test to check for drugs (which was difficult for me cause youre in a room with 20 girls and you have to go and pee in a cup while the others are waiting for you outside, it was a nightmare cause i simply couldnt go)

but the horror was the physical exam itself where 20-30 girls stand in line and enter a room with about 5 doctors, each by a different table, and you randomly go to the doctor who's available. They requested us girls to be in our panties only, and to remove the bra so what we did was wear boxer shorts over the panties and kept the shirt on but removed the bra from under. Doctor I was assigned to was old and said I had a murmur (which was odd cause my pediatrician back at home also specializes in cardiology and has never seen any indication of that) and he had me not only examined standing up but also had me lay down and I swear he was feeling me up...

Would be interested to hear what it was like for you guys

Julielucky,

I read your post with much interest,

I agree with you and think it would be quite interesting to have more information on how military medical examinations are conducted today in countries that still have military service (Finland, Russia, Israel....) or on how they were held when there was military service in others (the US for instance). By the way,if I may ask, which country do you come from? To my knoledge, the only country in which girls have to serve in the army is Israel; So, Shalom to you!.

I am a 60 years old Frenchman and I have experienced the French military service organisation, which was then compulsary, even if I ended up doing my "military" service, working as an expert in an African country..

I hated (I still do) every thing connected with medecine, I was sick when we had the regular annual physical at school, so I was absolutly terrified at the perspective to be called for the military service examinations, especially as there were horrible stories circulating about these exams. Rumors went that boys had to stand naked for hours in front of several doctors, some of them female, that the examination concentrated on the private parts, that they took litters of blood out of you, that you had your rectal temperature taken several times in various positions and, last but not least, that these doctors had a quota of boys to be sent to a medical hospital for further medical investigations, so that military medical students could have some patients to train on . These medical exams were known as "les trois jours" (the three days) even if they lasted only 36 hours, but the boys were given 3 days army pay, which was less than peanuts. They used to take place sometime before the boys had their 19th birthday

Finally, as I was a student for quite a long time, the army called me for these exams relatively late, when I was 25, as most boys around me were undert 20. Was it due to my age,,or, as I have been told, was the "selection center" where I went "cooler" than the others, things did not go as bad as I expected; I was never naked during the exams. I only had to be naked at the compulsary shower on arrival On the morning, wearing only my briefs, I had to go though several booths where we saw a succession of "specialists" ( dentist, cardiologist, eye doctor, and so on....). The officer doctor I saw at the end of the procedure just asked me: "do you eat well, do you pee well, do you shit well, do you fuck well, have you got your two balls ?" , but he did not even lower my brief. Noone took my temperature (in one of the booth, the only thing a doctor or male nurse did was to take my blood pressure) nor took any blood from me.

Still, you can find a lot of horific stories about those "trois jours" on various internet site, including the French version of zity.biz.

Hey 😃 thanks for the reply

Yeah I am from Israel, and I can completely sympathy with your story, believe me.

Fortunately, they do not conduct those "let trois jours" here neither for boys nor for girls but it is nonetheless embarrassing. I remember there were no screens between me and the other girls examined in that big room, so basically those were like several doctors at some random tables in the room and the only time my doctor (who was really old) DID use a screen, was when he had me lay on the bed to give me the exam and I trust you, he listened way more than he should have, to conclude I had a murmur.

I am so glad I did not have to have more doctors give me this exam, It was one of the worst I've ever had.

The downside about military doctors in general is that they're not always the best ones ever. They are usually doctors whose reserve duty is to serve as a military doctor for a week - which sucks.

I've been to a military hospital for 2 whole weeks due to a very severe respiratory disease - which no one up to this day knows to explain what it really was. Been treated with heavy meds and is a long thorough story.

Julielucky,

To continue the discussion, when I went though the "trois jours", it was supposed to be relatively easy to be refused by the army at the exam. i know a murmur of the heart was for sure, a reason to be refused.

But I know that in Israel, due to the security situation of the country, it is fairly difficult to avoid military service.

I think I am ab eat older than you, the medical exams 'Tzav Rishon' changed during the time.

at the time I done it girls and boys had to enter to small roomm (six at a time) and to remove cloths- onlt panties left on. then they entered to the big room with 3 to 5 dr inside and went to the avilble dr. i remeber that part of the exam I had to remove my panties, the dr ask me to to cough and the dr felt my testicls and then my penis. it was very humilating.

For visuals, Google 'musterung.' The tumblr link gives you new pics each day, largely German (Russian?) and Chinese. Looking under Google images, you'll get pages.

While on active duty, I received my first rectal exam from a man.

I might also add, if anyone feels like chatting about these sort of things on yahoo or whatever, just shoot me a message and I'll be more than happy to.

I still remember mine, there is nothing like standing naked in front of a large group of people and being examined to bring on a feeling off humiliation.

Someone asked me if I could post about rectal exams I got while in the Navy, so, if anyone is interested, here goes. Not really a whole lot to tell.

Being in the Navy, you get use to taking orders. Doctors, nurses, and PA's are Officers, and the Caduceus on a Corpsman's sleeve means that you do what je/she tells you when it comes to medical issues. Also, living in a barracks or shipboard, privacy is extremely limited, or sometimes non existent, so you loose your sense of modesty quickly. In Boot Camp, for example, your living in a big open room with about 80 other guys, with a common head and shower. No doors on the stalls, and the communal shower is a room with about 20 shower heads. It gets a little once you are "in the Fleet," but not much.

Basically, when a doctor/Corpsman is going to do a DRE, The practitioner will say some thing along these lines.

"Turn around, drop you shorts, and bend over the end of table." This is an order, not a request.

Then they lube up the glove, and shove their finger in pretty much to the hilt. No slow insertion. They spread your cheeks with one hand, and run their finger up to the knuckles in one swift motion. They feel around a bit, and then hone in on the prostate. They check first press on the prostate, (To see if they cause pain, and how firm the gland is) then run the finger all around the gland, (to check the size and determine if they feel any nodules) usually to the point when you feel like you're about to come. When they remove the finger, some fecal material is usually on the glove, so they do a quick guaiac test for blood. Occasionally, they may gather a little prostatic fluid on a slide. You are then given a tissue to clean yourself with and told to get dressed.

Both men and women do the exam the same way. The only "advantage" of having a female practitioner, is that their fingers tend to be smaller.

I think the main "shockers" are that initial single thrust of the finger, then the odd sensation, and worry, that might ejaculate. When you're a young man, especially when you have the first one done, it sort of blows your mind!

All the guys (and only guys) go from station to station without their tops, and in the doctor's office where it's just you and a male doctor is where you stand in the marked area drop your pants and underwear and cough

I remember mine well ! After the weighing, eye testst etc, we had to enter an individual cubicle and strip naked. Then we had to enter the doc's cabinet completely naked. The doc examined us (listened to heart, lungs ... took blood pressure etc). After this we had stand in front of him for the genital exam. Just when he was feeling my testicles, the next guy entered without being called .... I'll never forget that moment !

Well as it is said before me, when a military doctor was telling you to bend over at physicals before military service to determine if you were fit or after induction, it was not a simple request but indeed an order and you could not show any reluctance to obey, no matter if there was other conscripts or inductees in the room or a nurse ( in my case fortunartely it was a male nurse, a guy doing his military service as assistant of the doctor .

he might be used to that situation but nevertheless he was still smiling when we received brutally the order and obeyed

to obtain a complete obedience the doctor knew how to proceed, he gave us quickly a good slap on the buttocks .

the worst was the DRE with his finger in our ass and it is true that he did not insert it slowly.

My induction physical went something like this: (I was a long time ago. September 1980 to be exact)

I arrived at the induction center. First, I was handed a bunch of paperwork and a cup. I was to fill in the papers where appropriate, then strip to my shorts and give a urine sample. After this was done, I was out in a group of about 20 other guys in their shorts.(We were carrying our clothes with us.) After a bit, we were all ordered to stand up, follow the line, and present the papers at each station.

We all did as bidden. We went through HEENT at one station, Cardio at another and so on, until we reached the last station. Once there we we were told to stand along the yellow line on the deck. We did squats, balance, and other such tests. Then he says "Drop your shorts to your ankles." His abrupt manner was startling, to say the least.

So the 20 or so of us dropped them, dicks swinging in the breeze, so to speak. He starts at one end of the line and first checks the genitalia. He grabs and gently squeezed the scrotum, lifted and checked the penis, and, for those of us who were uncircumcised, retract the foreskin a couple of times. Then it's "Turn your head and cough. He did this to each of us in turn, wheeling his stool from one to the other. After he got to the end of the line, we figured we were done, but, since we had not been ordered to pull up our drawers, there we stood, 20 guys who never met before that morning standing at attention with our underwear at our ankles, exposed to the world.

However, the order that came was NOT to get dressed, but to bend over, reach behind us and spread our but cheeks! Every one of us had the same look on our faces "WTF is he going to do NOW?" Regardless, we did as told. Again, he rolled his stool down the line, except this time, he was behind us. We were still wondering what was doing to happen, but all he did was inspect the spine for scoliosis, and visually inspect our butts foe hemorrhoids, or some other irregularities. When he got back to the place he started from, he told us to stand up, pull up our shorts and head to the dressing area. This we did, retrieving our paperwork once dressed. We then handed the papers to Sergent, who directed us into another room. This was NOT and exam room. There was a podium and flags there, as well as other groups that were a head of us. Soon, an officer enters, goes to the podium, and swears us in with the Oath of Enlistment.

I never been in military but my first love group exams start as teen and i trying to do as much as can.
