On the day to ship out, do you perform a fitness test?

Great question ! Definietly watch my "MEPS Experience video" I go into detail about that ❤️

[@deborahpak7369]

watches this video after buying a black backpack 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@joypressley4821]

Lol ! Put a bright piece of colorful duct tape on one of the handles. Or you can buy a key chain with your name on it to hook on.

[@juanitagartley937]

In other videos the Drill Sergeant said black back pack with two straps to go on your back. So your hands will be free.

[@snowflake140]

So i bought a piercing retainer pack from amazon which is clear jewelry to keep your holes from closing. Should i just go ahead and return it since i might not be able to wear it? (Mainly for my nose piercing) Love this informative video btw! I got to fort jackson in 5 days

[@joypressley4821]

Don't even bother wearing the clear one cause in Basic Training your nose can still get infected with all the dirt and sand. Thankyou for tuning in 💕subscribe and like!

[@snowflake140]

@@joypressley4821 update! i wore it for majority of the time in the beginning of training and i don’t think the drill sergeants really paid it any attention. Then I started just wearing it to bed to keep my hole open

[@joypressley4821]

That's good to hear! Don't get caught lol😅

[@emilyamponsah5826]

When you take extee stuff, do they just confiscate it or throw away? Stuff like skincare products, like since you can't use it there, I would like to use it for ait

[@joypressley4821]

They want everyone to place the unauthorized items in a large garage bin. I'm not sure if it's donate it or throw it away

But what if you everything now cause you don't want to spend all the money on the card, unless you have to? Does everything has to be travel size cause I use a lot of lotion & vaseline?

[@joypressley4821]

Hey, don't pack a ton of stuff. Everything can be bought in reception. Be wise with the Eagle Cash card because you don't wanna overspend

[@Dasymose]

Did you study for the asvab? What was your score

[@joypressley4821]

Sorry for the late reply, I studied at my recruiters office and he gave me a few ASVAB books. My score wasn't the best but I still passed I got a 34 I think

[@ajustmefr6925]

How did you do with your nose piercing? Did it close ?

[@joypressley4821]

I couldn't join with it, I had to take it out and over time it closed

You can wear a wedding band and religious chain, right? I mean, I’m wearing a rubber ring once i ship off but i think you can wear a wedding ring if married

[@joypressley4821]

Yes, you can wear a wedding band. However, A diamond ring is not recommended because it can get damaged/break. I would keep the rubber ring on. Thankyou for watching and please subscribe !
