This depends upon the percentage of Hgb S after tests have been administered. The testing needed is: Hemoglobin Electrophoresis. I would highly recommend that you go to your primary care manager (doctor) to get this test administered before showing up to basic. It has been proven that after testing so many applicants mistakes are made resulting in a discharge. Take the necessary precautions and get this testing done before to show that your percentages aren't going to change.
Navy regulation is 45% and below. If its anywhere above 45%, you will have to request a waiver to stay. Strenuous exercising can cause a decrease in abnormal hemoglobin resulting in black outs and strokes.
