I leave for Marine Corps Boot Camp next month, but since enlisting in march 2009, i’ve had a few migraines. I have had about 1-2 a month about 1-2 hours after exercising. I have never had them before this year in my life. Is it because I’m not eating healthy or exercising as much as i used to? Can i be kicked out of the Marines if it’s not in my medical history if i don’t complain about it? The pain isn’t what worries me, it’s the aura before the migraine.

If it’s not bothering you too much, I would advise not to say anything about it. My friend’s sister wasn’t able to join Army ROTC because she has a bad history with migraines. But she was actually taking medication for it throughout high school. Her migraines were on the SEVERE side though. I personally don’t think you have anything to worry about. Just keep your body healthy this next month.
Good luck in boot camp though. I leave for Parris Island on December 28th. But, like I said, you shouldn’t worry too much about it. If you say anything, especially in the USMC, they could blow it out of proportion and you don’t want that. Good luck on earning the title MARINE!
It means you’re hungry, exercising obviously uses up calories, and you’re not eating enough. No, you won’t get kicked out.
If it were my noggin’, I’d get a Doc to check it out. Migraine or vascular/cluster headaches are nothing to screw with. It is interesting that you already know about migraine prodromals like aura after only having them for a short period of time. The way you just tossed that term out there (not something that a usual layman would do) so casually leads me to think that this may NOT be something new for you.
Look at it this way. What if you space out or go tunnel/star vision while you are out with your battle buddies, under fire? Plus, there are some serious fatigue issues after a migraine.
Also, there are other medical conditions that have pro-dromals including aura…so, if this is in fact a new thing for you, I would suggest getting a Doc to look you over. If you are OK, you’ll still be a Marine; if you aren’t, getting healed is much more important than being a Marine.
Probably gonna be OK, but please…being a Marine is about HONOR…and HONOR includes being open and honest about things.
