I have what I am pretty certain is a foot corn, it is very painful while even just wearing shoes and standing. We are not allowed to leave the area to go out and buy anything, and I do not want to go to sick call or anything because of likely quarantine(covid19 protocol) and possibly getting a profile and dropped from the course. Any suggestions on how to deal with this or has anyone had similar experiences?

Seriously, go to sick call. You won't survive the course if your feet are fucked up. Fixing a corn is not that hard or long of a recovery

Go to the docs. That is what they are for. My room mate on my 1st ship left and went to BUDS. He went to medical for a knee problem while in 1st phase, got cleared. When he got back later that morning his room mate was dead because he didn't tell anyone he thought he was coming down with a cold. Thought he could power through on his own. He drowned during a long underwater swim. Small aches and pains are a part of life in the military, but if it endangers the lives of your fellow soldiers, it isn't worth it. GO to the docs, get the 5 minute corn shaving they do, and get back in training at 100%.

You say you have a hard time standing with this problem. If you can deal with the pain mentally, it will involve other parts of your body compensating for the deficiency, which increases your risk of serious injury. I recommend going to sick call.

Is it on the top of the foot/toes or is it on the bottom of the foot? I had plantar warts on the bottom of my foot that I let go too long so they had to be surgically removed. Go to sick call and get your problem assessed.

Look, if you don't go to sick call to get it fixed- you could be dropped for not keeping up- which is worse a possible re-cycle or failure?

Tim Harvard I agree with SFC (Join to see). Go to sick call and get this issue taken care of. I recommend that you edit your profile to change your setting from potential recruit to active duty.
