What to expect at MEPS 2024

I try to give you a in depth experience of what MEPS is like. If the video was helpful, share it with a friend!

[@Lyftwithjarbear]

Anyone that’s in the process like me god bless you ❤

[@prophecy4270]

My meps was pretty chill. Everyone did different things and for the ones that finished early got to watch a movie and they even had food.

[@jessGame2]

Damn must be nice😂 we couldn’t even have our phone until towards the end of the day

[@theoc007]

Just posting for the new ones finding this video, even if you get disqualified you can get waivers, for me I had 167 pages worth of documentation being a military brat so they had everything now it took two months to get approved finally to swear in because of that so don't give up if they dq at meps.

[@jessGame2]

Good info!

[@wanteddeadman2194]

I’m waiting to go to Meps as well just for the medical part I already passed my ASVAB I’m hoping to go next week

The physical sounds like a football physical. It was that crucial Duck walks and all

[@jessGame2]

It wasn’t as bad as I thought honestly

[@opposeit9733]

Ayo no need to worry if you going to meps you’ll be fine 🎉😂 don’t stress

[@bingus4057]

Make sure to drink fluids before you go so you’re able to piss. I learned the hard way when I pissed before I left the hotel and didn’t drink anything till it was my turn😂

[@jessGame2]

Nah fr! I seen people have to go back to MEPS just to take the pee test😂

[@laylajanicek5698]

Same here! From CTX as well! You going to meps in Dallas or San Antonio?

[@kevaughnbooze1857]

I think Dallas

[@jessGame2]

I hope it went well!!

[@Lyftwithjarbear]

I gotta wait to go to the San Antonio physical

[@Mob-es9jm]

Appreciate all the info man and thank you for your service. I do have 2 questions if you could answer it would be greatly appreciated. 1 is i had cancer about 13 years ago and was wondering if you knew how they will react to that? In currently waiting to hear back from a recruiter. And 2 is i have slightly unsteady hands, may be due to poor habits and diet that im trying to work on now, but if its something im unable to fix have you met anyone that had a similar issue that was still able to serve, or is that a big no go? Thanks again

[@thatfutureairman784]

Your best bet is a recruiter for the cancer, my general understanding is as long its in total remission its good to go, as far as the hands it depends on whats documented on them chalk it up to nerves if anything. This is the Disqualifying Manual that MEPS uses to find medical issues unfit for service DOD INSTRUCTION 6130.03, VOLUME 1 MEDICAL STANDARDS FOR MILITARY SERVICE: APPOINTMENT, ENLISTMENT, OR INDUCTION . Obviously a waiver will be branch specific I know for the navy it's a little bit laxed right now. Best of luck in your journey.

[@toe3500]

Tbh bro, they’re really picky on who they let in rn and the fact that you had cancer before might make them turn you down but if you really want to do it keep trying

[@viniciusreboucas6099]

Bro the worst that can happen is you won’t be able to join don’t quit or be worrying about it .. literally apply and see what happens

[@calebboersma4717]

What did the eye exam consist of?

[@toe3500]

I went to meps in Miami and that shit took forever and I already took my asvab before so idk why it took so long.

[@jessGame2]

That phrase “hurry up and wait” real

[@JanaeMelody]

Did you tell your recruiter about your injuries and did they make you get medical documents

[@jessGame2]

Yeah I did. Because trying to hide them makes it risky when you get to MEPS and they find them

[@jeanville9583]

I went there 3weeks ago it was fun 😅😅

Did you take your picat at the recruiters office and if so, if so did you have to take a verification test?

[@jeanville9583]

Yes i did all of that and I thought I was done cause he told that I passed after I heard that I’m going to fort Jackson for the 09M program to increase my score he should’ve told me that before but anyway

[@SKIESTHELIMIT91.]

Hey bro I have a few dings I have taken prescriptions for pain killer I applied for the army and I put no in all questions I may have messed up due to Meps process any feedback

[@toe3500]

Honestly bro, if it’s not in the system just lie to them cuz they gonna try to extend you wait time as long as possible but since medical things are usually in the system just tell them the truth cuz if you get caught lying your grits.

[@TheJackNorton]

Same here I forgot that I was proscribed something similar to adderal when I was 11 or 12 that said it’s been long past then and I don’t need it to function by any means, I’m 21 now and just nervous they won’t accept me. Any thoughts?

So you never took a picat test? At the recruiters office.??

[@kevaughnbooze1857]

I did and now I'm going to Meps for test authorization and physical/swear-in

[@magab4395]

@@kevaughnbooze1857hello please what do You mean by authorization ? Was the Picat test you took at your recruiters office the same as the one you took at MEps ? Were they same questions ? Please reply

[@kevaughnbooze1857]

I haven’t been to Meps I go this Wednesday but my recruiter told me that basically, all I’m doing is verifying the test I took online he said it’s 30 random questions from the test I took and if I get the majority of them right I’ll pass the authorization test at Meps but if I don’t I have to take the full test.

[@codycrass1517]

After taking the PICAT you have to take a verified test. Fortunately for me I finished early and my recruiter took me to Camp Mabry as a walk in to take the verified CAT-ASVAB. My recruiter told me that the verified test takes 30 questions from the PICAT you take there at the recruiters office.

[@kevaughnbooze1857]

Did you swear in that day too?

@@prettyybrwn it went great

[@ethanrosejr4245]

How was the medical part? Do they pull everything or only if they have a reason too

[@q_cola_roja_p]

@ethanrosejr4245 Yes, they do for me at least. If you've ever had. Broken arm or asthma ever they can see that. Since they do a full body examination, they can see all your scars. So if you can go to the doctor and get all of those examined before then. GET A DOCTORS NOTE, saying that they don't see why you shouldn't join and everything is fine. Also, tell your recruiter everything. He/she can hell you. When you get to the medical part at meps, don't lie, but don't tell them any new info. Like say yes or no, and don't add anything.

[@Himskii339]

What about that new system they talk about? Can you just say no to everything and be good type ish?

[@jessGame2]

What you mean by “new system”?

[@Himskii339]

@@jessGame2 I think it’s called genesis. Will they find everything you don’t mention (physical/mental health history) or just say no and you should be good?

[@jessGame2]

@@Himskii339 I would just tell your recruiter everything when y’all start doin the medical paperwork. Only because they can start working on getting you waivers as soon as possible. If MEPS find something that you didn’t tell your recruiter, they can just disqualify you instantly. But it’s definitely up to you though
