Let's say I joined Canadian military, or something.

Is it safe to say "I use EEn which I ordered online."?

It's not even illegal so why to hide?

But OTOH in case of deployment they would only source meds from their own official federal sources which means I would end up with shitty valerate.

Could you not just bring your EEn with you and use their provided injection supplies? Can you just take a vial with you in your pocket, and just keep the valerate for someone else who needs it?

Probably this is the only way to go.

I would give the EEn to someone who needs it, and I would take valerate as long as I'm in military.

Dosing valerate is pain in the ass though. Extremely unstable blood E levels.

But it's not the end of the world if they know I ordered EEn online?

I'm not military, or Canadian, or a lawyer, so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Uh oh what's wrong with valerate

You have to take it more often and the peaks are "sharper" cause of that.

If it's a concern, there are also producers from other, non-American places, in eg. Europe. How long valerate lasts before opening the boxes and getting them out of a storage place, I do not know, but if it's multiple years, stock up?

AFAIK military doesn't allow you to bring your own med I guess.

You switch from your own health insurance to federal health insurance.
