I just went through MEPS using the MHS Genesis system and they grilled me on two separate hospital visits (I never went to the hospital during those dates), the doctor grilled me hard on them and I told him straight up I had no idea what they were for, supervisor comes in and says “it’s probably just the hospital updating shot records”… system sucks

[@joshuagale6339]

What happened they found visits you didn’t put down?

[@signalizing]

Close guess to what EHR stands for. EHR = Electronic Health Record. The civilian equivalent is usually called "MyChart" or something similar to that, but the function is essentially the same: keeping medical records online as a one-stop shop and (most likely) moving things such as pharmacy/vision prescriptions to an online format and moving more towards paperless processes.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

I should have figured that out lol. Thanks for clarifying!

[@irag_343]

Question if you can get back to me If you don’t have anything on mychart will there be anything on MSH Genesis.?

This is unworkable with the current generation. Pretty much all of them I know of have been medicated for this that and the other thing their whole lives. If possible could you put out a video as soon as the Army decides to table this madness? I got two kids that want to join but I am not going to have them get intruded upon by the government they would be swearing to serve to this level. Once the government wants to act like the America I protected and defended as a veteran, instead of like the Chinese surveillance state, I will bring them in immediately. This is ridiculous. Hopefully I will get an update that this goes away. I am just going to have them do the college thing, even though they were both hoping to go into the military first. Thank you for all the information you provide.

I was watching this video as I’m waiting to hear back from MEPs. {Long story short, I ended up discharged from the Marine Corps prior to finishing training; due to a calcaneal stress fracture 30% across the bone (heel bone). It has been 7 years since occurring.} And around 15:00 minutes into the video “US Army Sgt (redacted)” is calling me. I’m sweating bullets: Me: “Good morning, do we have good news?” Him: “Genesis results came back….” Me: “Yes sir?” Him: “They just need the clearance letter pertaining to your injury, we already submitted it. Should hear back by the end of this week.” I haven’t been this happy or excited, in a really long time. As I’ve been in this process for nearly 2 years now. 🤘🏼 Advice I can give: If you’re prior service, please be patient. Also, if this is something you truly want; never give up trying.

We are waiting to hear what MEPS has to say before he is allowed to go. What are his chances? He has wanted to join the military from an early age.

[@petejones4090]

Here’s my prediction…on the MEPS side; it’s going to have to make MEPCOM take a hard look on the conditions they consider “unwaiverable” because I think ultimately they want to stop 2 things. 1) the really high rate of recruits getting medsepped at BCT (voluntary&involuntary) 2) the amount the govt has to “pay out” for VA disability connection down the road. I think it’s gonna have its initial run but like anything first generation, it’s gonna hit its walls. Those walls are gonna provide insight because there is no feasible way that SO many applicants can be DQd but also simultaneously DOD can keep branches manned. Something’s gonna give. Idk what it will be but its gonna be something. I think personally it could be the amount of waivers granted. A lot of us got medical decisions made for us (especially Mental Health) when we were just kids. I was a child of the 90’s when any 8 year old who was bored got a Ritalin script, and boom, little Johnny Snotnose has ADHD. (This was also true with many other conditions in my experience) Now Johnny is grown up and matured and no longer shows those symptoms and is by all means, fit to serve. Does this mean the decisions his parents made 10+ years ago should determine the fate of his military future? That’s something MEPS is gonna have to face in the coming months… (Im only speaking from working for the state/county/fed government over my career and my MIL working for the VA right now.) I think if you’re worried about your history; TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER. 99/100 they are on your side. Some of you, the best bet may be holding back on your journey to MEPS until they get the feedback from this program. Some who want to join might want to start the process of contacting hospitals, Drs., insurance companies, pharmacies, shamans, etc and build your medical records so you waste as little time as possible. In my experience; where their is a good will there is a possible waiver. Don’t close the door on yourself completely and DQ your own future before you’ve even had a chance: that’s MEPS job. Make them tell you “No”. Living through rejection is much better than living with regret. If you made it here, thank you for humoring me. In the end, im just some random dude on the internet, so my comment is just about worth it’s weight in pigeon sh*t. Given I don’t have a crystal ball or a psychic friends network, my opinions could be as useless as teats on a boar. Feel free to disregard. Thank you SGT Swartz for the video. You are and remain the GOAT 🐐 for keeping us informed. May the MEPS gods take mercy upon us all lol.

[@petejones4090]

@Anthony Kight you’re absolutely right Anthony. Waivers at MEPS has historically been a long hike through hell for any applicant. My hope is this will come to really bite them in the ass and either make waivers WAAAY more accessible or scrap this stupid shit altogether. I get that they’re trying to sort out the issue of “dishonest applicants” but this is not the way to fix that. Maybe if MEPS wasn’t such a slow shitty institution that’s known for playing power games with the people they’re processing, more people would disclose things from the jump. By making the waiver process so arduous and pedantic, many great applicants get pushed out because they can’t afford it wait around for years only to get told to keep going back for “more medical records”. Either way I don’t see this ending well for MEPS and DOD. Me personally, I’ll be excited to see this crap-grenade blow up in their face…

My recruiter said that meps wants to schedule a psych evaluation but he has no control of that process.. would you know about the time frame or does it depend on meps? Fort Jackson.. This is all because they saw back in 2019 that I had gone to a family doctor about quitting smoking, and concern about weight loss and then noticed anxiety.. I was prescribed wellbutrin but never filled it.. This has been a long process.. Especially being on the verge of A-war I did not expect it to be this hard to enlist in the army full time.

Anxiety is the main issue. Get reevaluated for mental health and obtain an all clear and healthy memo. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Recruiters have no say so for Psych Evans but if you can get a memo outside of meps medical procedures to coincide with you being healthy greatly increases a more favorable outcome.

And we thought MROAD was bad. They already have problems with recruiting. To me its a mix of the American population and the DoD's standards that can be unrealistic at times. I get it that they need some form of standards, however when you start havinng bullshit standards and disqualifying people over stupid things that really don't matter which does a big hit to recruiting and then you do MROAD and then Genesis that's just gonna hurt recruitment even more, and tbh I can't wait to see when this blows up in the face of the DoD.

Hey, I just stumbled onto your channel and I’m definitely subscribing! I have some doubts: I believe was misdiagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid. I was prescribed medication. (Stopped taking them soon after), then when I got myself together in High School I began to ace all my classes and perform perfectly in my daily life with 0 symptoms. I think I was just nervous and immature. Now, I’m going to see a different doctor (Last one specialized in Children’s ADHD) who specializes in adult ADHD to try and get him to state that this was a misdiagnosis, and that I’m clear. I’m 21 and haven’t taken any medication in years. Do you think a new medical work up stating I don’t have ADHD and the new doctor’s written clarification will be enough to give me a good chance to pass at MEPS?

[@icastaneda350z]

Reaching E4 simply takes time in grade no? I don't recall doing anything that sped up the process from going E1-E4 aside from staying in. Doing extra duty and all will more than likely save you a slot if your unit is giving out promotions though.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

So short answer, No. it’s not required or a direct reason to promote faster above peers. Now, it wouldn’t hurt to be viewed as reliable, dependable and available you know? But not at all required unless you’re ordered. If they’re asking you to volunteer, it’s volunteer and then not mandatory. Whether you’re volunteering or not, doing the implied tasks and doing them well will set yourself apart from the rest of the competition. Like showing up early or on time, volunteering for tasks during drills, AT & so on, clean, crispy and ironed uniform, otherwise going above and beyond within your MOS and usual unit level work. That may increase your potential to be granted a waiver and advanced sooner than the minimum required time n grade and time in service. Best wishes and hope this helps!

Hello, I have some questions about this. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around 7 and took medication for it and then completely stopped taking the medication when I was 11. I've been told that I no longer have ADHD. I am 17 now and I am wondering if this will hurt me? Will I need a waiver for this? Another condition I have is hyperhidrosis. I am planning on getting a small procedure done that permanently stops my excessive sweating. Can I get a waiver for this? and if so how hard will it be? Thank you for the help!

Genesis is exactly what civilian medical practices are already doing. We’re just following and adapting to the times. Yes, this is impacting about 15% or so of the applicants trying to enlist. As a result of Genesis, this is forcing MEDCOM to review, adjust and allow certain things where previously weren’t allowed because people lied so much they didn’t realize the true quality applicants were actually at time of enlistment. I think over time, things will get better. 🙏🏽

Hi, first of all love your videos. They are so helpful so thank you for making them.

Not anymore and and a lot better with my anxiety. Would I be turned away because of my past metal health though?

Those are pretty substantial behavioral health conditions that MEPS will def be disqualifying you for. You’ll be needing to be off Med’s for at least 24 months before they will even allow you to possibly complete the medical exam.

Well we got all the paperwork turned into his recruiter and he's supposed to be running the Genesis stuff. My husband was put on adderall as a trial thing for the job we work, but they said it wasnt necessary for him and took him off. So he'd only taken it for maybe 5 months.

If you ever went into a ER for example at work when a pt comes in we chart their Chief complaint meaning why did they come. If you come in for drug use or an OD we chart it. We ask you if you have a history or do you use drugs we need to know due to medication we may issue upon arrival. So therefore anything you ever stated will be on your medical report. Now in health care we chart it so we know about future conditions you may have.. unfortunately you are signing your rights to HIPPA away when enlisting.

Stay tuned for an update video to my MHS GENESIS video next week! I’m tuning into a call with a Policy Advisor with MEPS tomorrow that’ll clear up questions we all have and to clear up some educated thoughts on my interpretation on the documents I received prior to this video! May not be as bad as we thought!

Hey man what would you recommend for someone who’s already been approved but didn’t disclose a few things at MEPS and is about to sign for a job? Go back and disclose?

Are they running it at MEPS pre-screening or at MEPS when you get there? I was cleared to go to MEPS on Monday. Just curious if I need to worry about this when I get there. I'm in Albuquerque so I'm not sure if they even have it yet.

[@alyssasalazar8547]

Same here !

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Both. As a Prescreen when it begins and if prescreen we previously, you’ll still be processed through Genesis. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

Update?

[@briancornine]

I'm glad I stumbled on your videos since I was looking to join the service for software/cyber security. My brother recommended trying ADHD medication since it helped him, and since we're related it made sense. I've never been officially diagnosed, I received the medication over telemedicine and I started taking the medication at the age of 29. The last time I filled a prescription was in July, so would I have to wait until July 2024 to enlist? I think it's a little ridiculous since I've never really needed it to perform, more so just a tool. Any advice?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Unfortunately, 24mo minimum requirement from the completion date of your medication. That sucks but hey, get an actual evaluation and tests done, obtain an all clear letter and see what happens. You never know! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

@@TEAMSWARTZ it did not specify for Officer Candidates in that video. So I’m guessing it’s the same for everyone. Feeling pretty discouraged currently.

[@phantomblue523]

I'm waiting to hear from my army recruiter. Said he's trying his best to help me. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but never took meds for it. I was treated for Gender Dysphoria at the same time so instead of my records reflecting as me having treatment for less than 12 months it says 15 months. What are the odds I'm getting in?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Honestly, not sure. It will depend overall on your medical records and how the MEPS CMO evaluated them and determines eligibility. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

So I got adhd but it says canadets who haven’t taken there medicine in 4 years don’t need a waiver. Does that mean they can just look at my medicine and see I haven’t received any meds since 2018 and I’m good?

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

I’d say that if you’ve been stable, signs and symptoms free for 4yrs you’d get a favorable decision on your medical waiver if required.

Genesis sees everything that’s within your electronic medical records. If it only goes back 2yrs or 30yrs, that’s what it’s going to see. Everything, some things or nothing too.
