If you are in the military, you have no rights, just like in public school, the government owns you unless you resign, they can see any data on you concerning your military status and history, and medical information after, and some before, you enter the military they have full rights to see any and all information. You have no rights at all. They own you until you die, they let you go, or your time is up. They can get any and all information, expecially when it comes to your medical records. I would strongly suggest thinking before you sign up. Yes, it's an honor, but it's one with a very large price. The answer above is ignorant and uninformed. I have been in the military for 7 years, originally enlisted and now as an officer and I can tell you that you have rights to privacy. Now, if you wish to join, you will have to divulge all medical information to military doctors to ensure you are medically qualified, but there are strict rules about giving that information out, and the rule is without your explicit permission they cannot. There is a medical act (The Medical Act of 1973 I think) that describes all of this in detail.
