Today is shot day. The so called "peanut butter shot" is penicillin. I hope he didn't have a reaction.

The Peanut butter shot is a gamma globulin shot given to boost the recruit's immune system to help prevent illness while at RTC. It is very thick, thus the name, and somewhat painful. Some Recruits will be unable to get it due to previous allergic reaction to penicillin.
Note: The gamma globulin shot DOES NOT contain penicillin, but a high percentage of people who have a reaction to penicillin also have a reaction to gamma globulin since the gamma globulin is derived from blood serum and may contain penicillin antibodies, so they don’t give it to them. Recruits who are allergic to penicillin wear a red sign stating that and are given an alternative shot or pills. This means some recruits may get the Ricky Crud worse than others.

No hes is allergic to amoxicillin or albuterol. He just breaks out in spots. I swear we did put that down.

Sometimes there is still a need to check out allergies even if they were declared prior to shipping.
Yes, he will be able to continue unless there is a question about his being Fit for Full Duty (FFD). The allergies you mention would not prevent him from continuing, but Albuterol is used to treat asthma or other lung conditions and that may be the reason for the request for records since most people would not be aware that they are allergic to Albuterol unless they have used it at some point in their lives. It may also be a reason for separation depending on his medical records since asthma is a disqualifying condition in most instances.
If the preliminary findings were that he is FFD, then he was able to continue until the records can be reviewed. If the preliminary findings were inconclusive as to his ability to safely train, then he will be held in Phase 1 until the records can be reviewed and a decision is made.

Also, those who are allergic to amoxicillin should not take penicillin, so he would have been given an alternative to the peanut butter shot.
