My MEPS experience 2020 (THE DAY YOU LEAVE)

What to expect at MEPS! Yo, what's up guys, in today's video I will be sharing my experience at MEPS and my ship day as a whole with you guys! Shipping out to MEPS can be nerve-racking but If you have any questions, comments, or concerns post them in the comments below! Also please subscribe if you want to follow my journey in the United States Army! I will probably do another MEPS video after basic training to give you guys a more updated version. It is the year 2020 now and this video still applies!
