You'll be fine. No coffee, soda, smoking, sugar nor high fat foods before you go. Vegetable salad and water no SALT. And read your favorite scripture before you go in and focus on that scripture. He got you.

[@karlar8648]

AND NO RED BULLS! OR VAPS.

[@imjustrel]

@@karlar8648 I don’t do any of that. I literally just have white coat. My blood pressure is normal and I’m very healthy

[@imjustrel]

I already swore in Friday. Thank you 🙏🏿

[@atenkhu6092]

Did you take your ASVAB on the same day?

[@robertsamueljr2878]

​@imjustrel did they take your blood pressure like the manual way. I always get a high reading when Drs do it that weigh vs the Automatic machines

Passed mine, in the DEP now, I almost got disqualified but the medical supervisor came in clutch

@@arkkrogue3870 If there is a war, you better be ready to fight for your life. No one is safe. Even worse, you could be drafted since we have low military members compared to back then. At least I’m working the job I want and not being forced on a job I don’t want, if you don’t follow their orders, it’s jail for you.

[@Laxis18]

Thank you for mentioning the blood pressure process for you. I’m the same way mainly due to diet and exercise my blood pressure tends to get high until I get into a workout routine. But it’s good to know that you just have to get a write off from another doctor to get approved 😌

[@imjustrel]

Most definitely. I’m documenting my entire process

[@karenmassey8354]

Meps is the easy part. No need to stress about that. Boot camp is the part that separates those with a backbone and those without. Pro tip - try not to stand out while you’re there or else the T.I.’s will target you constantly. Also, be in really good shape beforehand because it will make boot camp much easier since you will be pushed to your physical limits. Another tip, maybe do a desk job. If you do a job where you get deployed there’s a high chance that you’ll come back crazy and everyone will think you’re strange.

I went to MEPS 6 yrs ago. I had asthma before my 13th birthday day. They found out(I blurted) and was PDQed. They had me take a PULMONARY FUCNTIONS TEST, where it was discovered that o actually had moderate obstrucive airways. That barred me from coming back. Recently I tried to go to the army again, and the MEPs head surgeon or whatever, said that I have to pass a PFT to get in. I am prepping to take the test(which technically you can’t prep for that type of test), and I’m so nervous. I hope I pass it. I’ve always wanted to serve and am sure that I can OUT PT most service members. I hate this shit. 😓😓😓😓 Here’s hoping to pass for my entrance. Hope you keep your head up my guy. GOOD LUCK

[@adderallfocused]

Did you end up passing ?

[@therealestrealistpessimist]

@@adderallfocusedso, this is what happened. I went to meps, and then I was waivered for the the asthma. Unfortunately, that new stupid Genesis thing claimed that I had fucking NARCOLEPSY(which I don’t, I’ve never had a diagnosis for Narcolespy or anything associated with narcolepsy.) along with dysuria, and lower back pain back in the day. I’m sure I can get a narcolepsy waiver, because as I said, I’ve never had it. That shit was completely left field for me, I never expected to be dqed for Narcolepsy, cause I never had it. Anyways, now I need 3 waivers, one of which practically bars you from service outright. I swear MEPS is fucking stupid, because how TF did it come up, that I had that shit.

[@codecaine]

The Air Force is one of the harder ones get into. I was going to join the Airforce initially. When I passed the test the only job they really had open was military police. I ended up joining the Army as a pharmacy specialist. I wanted something that was easy to translate out of the military that I wouldn't mind doing.

Did you study the ASVAB? Library has the book.

@@karlar8648 To be honest, no, I didn't. It's really my math only. I'm having problems with AR AND MK. I have 30 days when my recruiter reaches out to take it again. They gave me a study guide, and I have a tutor

I'm 22 & started the process to join the Army Reserve in March. I was a hs dropput prior to that; got a waiver denied 2 times in June. Then transferred the process over to the Army National Guard, & got approved with 3 days 2 weeks ago! Just enlisted as a 31B Military Police last Wednesday!!! Leaving to basic in October. Best of luck to you brother!

[@maulinpatel8636]

I didn’t get go to meps because of my hypothyroid disqualified me just like that and can’t go or move further since it is policy.

[@maoak5470]

Hypothyroidism by itself is not disqualifying if it is controlled with medication. Even if it is unclear, you should have been sent to MEPS for an exam. It's up to the MEPS doctor whether you are qualified, not the recruiter. I would consider finding a different recruiter.

[@CitizenSoldier1987]

There's plenty of breathing exercises that you can do that's on KZbin that can immediately lower your bp bro. Obviously, diet plays a big factor. Breathe deeply in slowly, and then Breathe deeply out slowly and repeat the process for at least five minutes. It will lower your bp when on the machine. And start your running regiment, get that cardio up there and drink plenty of water. You'll be fine, brother. I've been there, good luck!! Also invest in a bp machine at CVS, it's affordable

[@SalvadorMartinez-gz9ry]

Did you take any test? Like similar to ASVAB or PiCAT
