:edgeworth-shrug: it's more commonly seen outside of combat operations like at fobs, fireballs, and so on. You're more likely to see a tampon or tourniquet than a butt thermometer out on patrol.
I understand that when bored they, like Nausicaans, have a habit of throwing knives like darts into eachother's torsos in a game not unlike playing catch.
Marines are a low bar here, the only things they stick in themselves are crayons in their mouths.
I mean medics are trained to use their thermometers the fun way if they're forced to use them in the field for a more quicker and accurate body temp.
They call 'em "The Silver Bullet"

You need to formalize it so you can have a standard test
yeah if you don't want to break a glass thermometer and get mercury in a soldier's ass and blood.
which, I think that would be funny but the people running the military probably prefer to avoid such casualties, unlike civilian ones.

i'm way too hungover to look up the history of the technological development of medical thermometers
