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.
