How many Service Members had a prostate exam while in the military? And how do you feel about that?

I am surprised I have not had more the one. I think they should be done more often, and at an earlier age then the current reality. Earlier detection of cancer is potentially life saving

While on flight status, we were required to have one every two years. I had to go through it twice. I just viewed it as one of those ugly things needed to keep flying. It only took 20 seconds and it was over. I think I almost cried in the shower after one of those test. Haha. Kidding.

I had it done a few years ago. Prostate cancer runs in my family so I had a colonoscopy. Worked out good, no cancer cells, just painful bloating. I know I know lol
