Do they give the peanut butter shot at Army basic training anymore?

Getting your immunizations is all part of becoming a soldier ,have no fear about shots,do have fear about your DIs ,I’ve been out since 1968 and I’m still scared of them,seriously you will hear many rumors and some outright lies about Basic ,listen and do your best you’ll be fine ,believe me.

I remember getting it back in the day at Boot. It was 2 Million IU of Bicillin. The reason for the super heavy dose was to kill anything they didn't want to deal with or test everyone for. Problem was every now and then that dose was more than large enough to off a boot that never had it before, hence didn't know they had a reaction to it. They'd kill 2-3 recruits a year that way, but it was just considered a cost of doing business. And, you didn't want to be in the top rack the next morning. The landing was more than painful.

I didn't get it back in '08, but the amount of vaccines they did inject me with are enough to keep generations of my descendants immune from any known disease.
