The purposes of this study were to determine whether or not a medical examination of the form and scope prescribed by various regulations is performed on every individual processed for induction or enlistment into the armed forces, and to evaluate the professional satisfaction of the Medical Officers assigned to the Allied Forces Examining and Entrance Stations (AFEES). In February 1971, a questionnaire was sent to the 139 Medical Officers assigned to the 74 AFEES, The 90 usable questionnaires returned represented a 64.7 per cent response. An analysis of the data obtained revealed that 60 respondents (66.7 per cent) were of the opinion that a medical examination of the form and scope prescribed by regulations was not necessary for entry into the armed forces. The items most frequently recommended for elimination were nose, sinuses, mouth and throat, ophthalmoscopy, lungs and chest, abdomen and viscera, identifying body marks, scars, tattoos, dental examination, and serology.
