Well when it first came out it was mandatory but then very high ranking personel refused to take it due to the lack of research after Gulf War Vets had a common illness that pointed to the vaccine. The military being the military came up with some "research" and its back to mandatory. Testing this vaccine along with who knows how many other drugs is nothing new to the military. Some are tested on volunteers others never know. Heres an interesting article if you wanted to read a little more into it. http://www.anthraxvaccine.org/AnthraxGWS.htm

Funny you should mention that, i just got my annual booster today. The inital vaccination is like a 7 shot series, i think today was like my 11th.

Funny how that works huh? Before this deployment I'm on now started we were given a ton of booster shots and vaccinations. One of the times I was told I was taking 5 shots that day. Fine whatever I'm covered in tattoos, needles don't bother me but I did want to know what they were. I was told 3 out of the 5. When I asked what the other two were I got a response of "Turn and face the wall" I responded "I've never heard of that vaccine but I hope it doesn't carry any long term side effects." They didn't find it as humorous and stuck me before I could inquire what they really were.
