As personnel receive their orders, they must be directed to the medical treatment facility for initial screening. Since it may be months before the actual transfer date, this initial screening can be geared to identifying and scheduling all of the required studies and examinations. This pre-screening also makes the transfer experience easier on the individual since numerous examinations and immunizations are not crowded into a short time frame. The final screening, completed by an independent duty corpsman, is done within 30 days of transfer. Any remaining studies or immunizations are completed and any remaining problems are addressed.
