I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I did a search and could not find any info on this topic.
I am thinking about going back into the Marine Corps after a year off from active duty Army (03-07) before that I was active duty Marine Corps (99-03). When I was in Iraq in 2006 I got a postive result for the TB skin test. My chest x- ray was negative and they had me take 9 months of meds to make sure everything was good to go. I have completed the meds and my last chest x-ray was negative. My question is will this positive skin test DQ me from comming back in. It is my understanding that I will always test postive when given the skin test even though the chest x-rays continue to come up negative.
Thanks for any info you might have on this
