So...I've never had the flu and I don't particularly want it so I'm opting out of the vaccine.

Those are both live vaccines. Is it possible that they may have been contraindicated for you based on your health status at the time? Dosage intervals, steroid use, compromised immunity because of concurrent illness or recent illness, immunosuppression, eczema, chemotherapy, recent blood transfusions, gamma globulin injections all contraindicate these types of vaccines just to name a few. I don't know your story but I know the military has made a lot of mistakes in vaccine timing that can/has caused more harm than benefit.
