HOW TO PASS MEPS ON THE FIRST TRY! (2022)

[@SejoAtIgnister]

MEPS was a breeze for me. The staff were pretty nice, kept cracking some jokes and laughing with us. It was also a Friday and they were rushing get us done fast and didn't really check every small details on our bodies.

How did he pass

[@GregSr]

I passed MEPS back in 1975 - but I shouldn't have. I failed the eye test with my left eye. I've been legally blind in that eye since birth. So, I scored a 20/200 (instead of 20/20). I asked another doctor later if that means I officially failed MEPS. Because, if I did, then I was leaving. Why take the rest of the physical if I already failed? Anyway, without encouragement from me, he took his pen and scratched out the 20/200 and re-wrote 20/20. With a grin on his face he sent me to the next station. Well, when I got to Lackland, one of the things they do is check your eyes for glasses. The eye doc couldn't figure out how I got 20/20 at MEPS and now I'm getting 20/200 at Lackland. He just shrugged and finished the eye tests. I never heard any more about it.

[@Carl-ee7sq]

Update: MEPS wasn’t even that (FUCKIN) bad. The worst part imo was it was really really really cold and it’s a slow process.

Dwayne Andrews basically just don’t eat a lot nutrition is key I was 180 before corona now I weigh 220 ish safe weigh loss is 3-5lbs per week. Now just do the math, make sure you exercise and take protein (preferably foods chicken breast meat etc high protein low fat) to maintain muscle while loosing weight I need about 2 months to loose 40 lbs not gonna lie it’s hard bc I got use to eating a lot and not exercising and now when I exercise and have a calorie deficit I’m hungry ash water is your friend and vegetables eat as much as you want to keep you full.

[@sugarwaves7506]

I just came back from MEPS today, honestly I was overthinking it. The only thing that sucked was the waiting. I would highly suggest getting enough sleep! I would also bring a sweater because I didn’t and it was freezing during the morning and in the ASVAB room. Be respectful to everyone there and ask questions if you don’t understand something. Also make sure you have all your documents that your recruiter asked you to bring and you’ll be set. Something I didn’t see anyone mention is how in MEPS they will guide you and provide instructions as to where to go next after each station. It’s very simple as long as you’re following instructions. Also once you’re on the medical section and it’s your turn to give out blood, when they ask you if you’re afraid of needles or you get dizzy when seeing blood, make sure you answer honestly! They won’t disqualify you for being afraid but they will if you faint and hit your head or an accident happens due to fainting. Make sure that whenever you’re in an interview you say exactly what’s on your documents since they only know what you provide. Also the part where they see your private areas isn’t a big deal at all, they see you for less than 2 seconds and for me personally it went by extremely fast. If you have any questions ask to me in the replies and I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge and personal experience! Also awesome video Ben! Really helped ❤️

[@TheIndirectgaming]

I got out of MEPS 3 days ago, it was honestly not bad at all. Worst parts: long waiting time, and Shitty food. Misconceptions IMO: they didn’t try to “get any information” out of me, they just asked relatively the same questions as the recruiter. If anything the recruiter was trying harder to trip me up in preparation. Got there at 0530 , left at 1630, so long day. Lots of waiting around doing nothing.

I’m going to the hotel right now, but I’m doing the physical tomorrow. The only thing I didn’t list down to my recruiter is that I have slightly bad hearing in the left ear. My right ear is perfect. It’s like left-65% right-100%. Is the hearing test hard? And can you make it through with partial hearing loss? I’ll edit this comment in a few days when I finish the physical. Edit: I have officially completed my MEPS physical exam and what can I tell you other than I passed everything. If you’re so concerned about your vision or hearing don’t be.. unless you’re extremely blind or straight up deaf. You’ll be perfectly fine. I have tinnitus and I’m half deaf in my left ear yet I still heard most of all of the beeps played. And for vision, yes, it can be difficult but the examiner does ask which row you can read up to. It’s not hard as you think it is. Any other questions depending on the MEPS physical, you can ask me.. especially coming from someone with a shit load of bad stuff walking into the physical. I had surgical scars, a few birthmarks, acne, scratches/cuts, and then I had a blurry right eye with a partial deaf left ear. Turns out I was the 1st person out of 15 other people to be officially medically qualified (and this was the first time visit there).

Is MEPS really that hard these days? In 84 all we really had to do was pass the piss test, the physical, and not get caught in a lie. Hell, they even offered me airborne in my contract as they were typing it up (required a quick additional physical test). It felt like they wanted me in more than they were trying to DQ me.

[@rofowleo]

I already went to meps but didn’t swear in because the school I went to the Marine Corps has this new tier system where if you go to a tier 2 (charter or private school ) you have to have your HS Diploma in hand, well my recruiters had no idea about this. So I was sent home after I was asvab and med qualified. Now I have my HS Diploma and I am going back to MEPS. But between the time I went before and now had an ATV accident and had a concussion, skull fracture, and a nice scar my forehead. My recruiters told me there is no way to hide that scar. So I have to go down the med packet route. Luckily I have no permanent trauma or condition from this, and also my skull fracture healed naturally meaning no surgery required. I submitted my hospital records day of the accident and a follow up from my primary care doctor who said I am fit for everyday activity and there is nothing wrong with me. Waiting for MEPS to comeback with their verdict. Recruiter told me it will either be he's good " or "need more paperwork” I don't see why they would need more. The hospital never asked for follow up care because it would heal on it's own. I have no light ty, no headaches. Nothing, just a slight crack of my head and my first concussion in the 19 years I have lived here. I am very confident because my only dream since I was 6 years old was to become a United States Marine. I’ll keep you updated. Semper Fi

Going to meps tomorrow. But afraid of the piss test. Ive tried everything to clean out weed from my system. Ive been clean about 3 months but keep coming out positive any advice

[@Wattoman1222]

Any update?

[@ot7694]

@@Wattoman1222 I ended just taking a verification test I passed it. So I get to keep my PICAT score which was 45. I got more time to get clean. I'm clean now. I have the physical this Wednesday. I'll keep you updated. Are you dirty or just trying to see what's up with MEPS

Like always , great videos !

[@chrisarrojo308]

If you smoked Marijuana, give yourself 2 weeks of no smoking before going to recruiters, along with other stuff. DO NOT GET DQ’D over something that can be avoided

[@chammerly2710]

I’ve been clean for 6 weeks and I’m still nervous to go lol, obviously I told the recruiter I never “gardened”

Facts

Best give it a month, it will show up after just two weeks. Don’t take anything narcotic ,etc.

Hey Ben! What happened to your knee? And did you need a waiver? I tore my meniscus 10 years ago so I’m hoping that doesn’t disqualify me

[@TheBenAllen.]

I had surgery on my torn meniscus

[@triixstiir]

Not sure if you have or not but can you make a video on WAIVERS !?!? I don’t need one(that I know of) but just in case I would definitely like a little advice and explanation and you do a great job at both of those.

[@fjmaietta]

Please do a video on studying for the Asvab. Thanks

[@museme6309]

I’m kinda worried about the dental part and most dentists are mean but if i gotta get it fixed I will, and my recruiter definitely told me this is his job and as long as I do most the work he will meet me halfway. I definitely disclosed everything, and the only scars are csection which will have to get the paper work for.

[@daniscollins]

Went to MEPS, did not pass eye exam, re-tested two other times, found out my paper work was lost first time, went second time, some of results were inaccurate. Sent letter for reconsideration, got accurate results from my own eye doctor. Submitted paperwork again… what’s next,,, Are you not allowed to wear glasses in the military…. With glasses my vision is 20/20…… why the hassle???

My recruiter told me that if I can stand naked in front of the mirror and look fine you're okay.

[@jademarie1156]

UPDATE: I went to MEPS November 25 of 2019. If I had to give any tips then I would say, DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. Agree with everything the doctor says is on the paper you gave them. They will use different ways to say the same thing so pay attention. Also if any of you guys know you're going to Navy Boot camp July 27 let me know!

[@themetalman2729]

I go to see a recruiter for the Army in a couple of days. I have already talked to him about my only medical problem. I fractured my left femur bone from an accident when I was like 6 (I'm 19 now) I do have a titanium rod still in my leg and a scar from surgery and a scar by my knee from the accident it didn't hurt my knee. the leg has never given me a problem since it healed like a year after the accident. And I was even cleared in middle school and high school to play football. I have always wanted to join and I was always afraid I was going to get disqualified because of this. What do you think the chances are for me to get a waiver and make it through MEPS? Thanks for all your great content and hopefully I will be a future soldier in the Army.

[@LBTactical]

If it doesn’t hurt or affect you just lie to them if they ask about it

[@ddaniels1590]

Going on MEPS today! Wish me luck😇

Good luck!

Thank you! Love the video 🔥

[@YellowwFellow]

I went into a MEPS Virginia center in 2014 and drove there myself. Got to the part with the doctor to weigh me on a scale. Found out for my height I was underweight for miminum requirement of the Coast Guard. That was my branch I was disqualified from and the Navy was the only one that didn't have this which he told me about. I still was upset my time was wasted being there for 12 ish hours and I was sent home to make a decision with my recruiter. He was pretty ignorant and naive when I told him what happened he said he didn't know that weight would be a problem and never saw that before. Could have wrote a waiver but I get why weight is important especially when you have to pull people out of the ocean and save lives. Ended up going to another career choice and never looked back.

[@YellowwFellow]

Side note they did the wiegh in during the private room physical with the doctor where you completely strip down for a cavity search. We all waited on chairs near the bathroom piss testing and one by one went in. After that was done everyone was negotiating their MOS and getting sworn in which I wasn't able to get to obviously. I guess depending on the year you attend and location they do things in another order through out the day. They only had snack machines too no actual lunch.

[@marcosestrada908]

how much did u weigh ?

For MEPS is for ADHD right because I have been diagnosed with it when I was like 4 and I took medication and if learned how to control after going to a therapist before the age of 13 so I have all the paperwork and stuff for my ADHD so I hope they don't disqualify me from there 😬
