So did MEPS mention to females and Males that if you have a medical history like seizures and if you don’t have anymore seizures by a citizen doctor so would MEPS accept a recommendation letter from your doctor saying okay this person is cleared to join the Military and I’m a son of a former DEA agent and so would MEPS accept the recommendation letter because I’m gonna visit my Neurosurgeon doctor and I go to the doctors appointment at Saint Francis Hospital in Hawaii and I don’t wear glasses at all and I have a good eye a site and so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note 📝 saying that this person is cleared to train and like I said I don’t wear glasses and I don’t need contacts never did so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note and so did you know if they said that you could bring a doctors note or can only the recruiter take the recommendation letter from your doctor and so did they say that you can bring a doctors note 📝 and I’m used to the blood drawn though and so does MEPS accept the doctors note 📝? and does it have to be from a doctor that knows you and checked on your stuff for medical 🏥 and saying that he’s cleared and so does MEPS accept a doctors note ?

True. But I came to MEPS in '92 & had no ADVICE. I ţook ASVAB in high school, & drove to MEPS & got it all done in 1 day, then drove home (Chicago).

That is totally okay! and there IS NOT a vision waiver, but as long as you can see fine with glasses you are GOOD!!

Wait…..that guy at the very end didn’t raise his hand on swear in? He didn’t have an arm or was that an option?

I'm worried about getting asked about my surgeries. I got my wisdom teeth removed but my recruiter said it didn't need to be recorded. So I don't know if I missed it in the video but do they check your teeth? I am also going to MEPS in Los Angeles and I heard they are strict

[@AirmanVision]

I had told my recruiter and he noted it for me. That is weird that he wouldn't just put it on your record because that is not an issue at all. I would ask your recruiter to put it in your file, so you can be honest at MEPS and when the doctor asks "have you had any surgeries" you can say "just had my wisdom teeth removed". But yes, they do look at your teeth/mouth, but not in depth. The doctor will ask you to open and then bite down...that's really it

@@AirmanVision Oh ok thanks! I just researched a little bit more and people are saying I don't have to worry about it

I couldn't enlist because I'm overweight and ptsd.

Can you not have family members watch you swear in?

[@NatashaRHudson]

Hi I’m going to meps for my medical next week does it matter if I have little scars from falling as a kid ?
