[1] I'm not sure that I had pneumonia the first time that I went on
    sick call, but when I collapsed after two weeks of APC they took
    me to the base hospital and the doctor only needed a cursory exam
    to be sure, although he did order a chest X-ray as confirmation.
    I suspect that I would only have lost a day or two had they
    allowed me to see a doctor when I first got sick.

I think I had similar experience. I had pneumonia and they made me walk to the hospital which was about 2 miles away. The sergeant got court martialed (sp?) I believe for making me walk there. I spent 3 or 4 weeks in the hospital. Much more recently I have spent 4 weeks in a hospital and a civilian hospital is orders of magnitude better than any army hospital. I know I felt safer as this hospital had IBM computers:)
