My recruiter told me "don't talk to anyone I haven't introduced you to" 😂😂😂😂 trust no one
Sounds like a damn good recruiter
Actually apparently at my meps station there were stories of people snitching on people. Like other applicants snitching on other applicants when they tell something there not supposed to
Fr? I made friends with hella dudes. Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, and Army
😂😂
That is pretty helpful I'm scheduled to go to MEPS today
NO = New Opportunities
YES = Your Enlistment Stops
Wolffeツ damn lol
KKing My recruiter told me that exact same thing lol
KKing what about if i want to go air crew? Will they look at my medical history to see if I'm able to fly
bvailcards44 They never pulled up my medical records
Walrus Boi were you aircrew though?
Entering the military, deny evenything. Exiting the military, try to claim everything you can
😂
LMAOAOAOAOOA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hooray..jst joking...lol more like when the army done with u they throw u away..smdh
You gotta act like you never had a cold in your damn life.
Leonardo Chavez Man U for real

😂😂😂 fr tho
Idk where yall went for meps but where i went to they really super nice. At the end front desk said i couldn't swear in that day cause it was too late for the day but one of them run to the swearing room and asked for me to get in so i was able to swear in and go home.
They will find any reason to disqualify you
FACTS LMAO
The dumbest thing this meps doctor asked me was "do you wear prescription glasses". I took off my glasses and was like this one. I swear this dude must have been high or extremely tired.
hahahahahaaaa
Did he DQ for that ?
Leanthony Sligh I don’t think you can be DQ’d for glasses. I’m going into MEPS on Wednesday and I’ve got glasses.
DQed for this comment
Im a Panda the could’ve been fake glasses for style
Here’s how my MEPS experience went
Day 1: Hotel
- I ate dinner buffet
-I literally just chilled
-The Hotel’s bed was too soft for my comfort. So, I couldn’t sleep that whole night.
Day 2:ASVAB
-Started to get ready at 4:00 am
-Hotel provided breakfast at 4:45 am. It was literally a soggy tortilla with eggs.Also a small yogurt and a cup of fruit.
- Bus came to transport us to MEPS at 6:00
- I arrive at MEPS at 6:30
-I got cussed by the Staff Sergeant because my bag was too big.
- I had to take fingerprints and register to their system
-I took my ASVAB at 7:30 with a lack of sleep
- I won’t say my score since it may reveal my identity. I just got 60+ for AFQT, and line scores sufficient for my desired MOS.
-After the test I had to wait at a lounge for 7 hours without lunch because my recruiter f-Ed up my schedule. Lunch at MEPS is only provided to those that completed the physical, meaning I was excluded.
- I went back to the hotel around 5:30
-I ate a dinner buffet
-I once again couldn’t sleep cuz that bed be too soft
Day 3: Physical
-Same as the morning before
-I arrive at MEPS at 6:30
-Went to a lobby with other applicants
-We filled out our medical forms and signed it, ensuring that we are responsible for any lies we made.
-They then took a breathalyzer test and blood pressure test. You know that thing they wrap around your arm during a physical.
-After that we took the real exams
-Ear exam in a small chamber that had writings in German. I joked with other applicants about its potentially questionable purpose. If you know what I mean
-We wore these uncomfortable headsets with L being blue and R being red.
-I could literally hear my breathing overpowering the sound produced by the headers. This is because the masks (cuz corona) we had to wear made the sound my breath made amplify
Eye exam
-You don’t need to bring your glasses as they have machines that test automatically detects your prescribed prescription.
-They check if you’re colorblind
-Before the exam I went into a room with the Chief medical officer. He asked about my medical history and it’s honesty. I confirmed it’s honesty
-Then a girl went into the same room. She told me that the Chief Medical doctor examines and touched her br-st. This isn’t allowed as a chaperone of the same gender as the applicant must be present with this type of encounter.
-That was the last time I saw her, as I had to take my other exams. Hopefully that was sorted out
Blood and Urinalysis.
- long line for the blood test
- I was talking with the other applicants. That’s when I found out that you have to pee in the same room with other men for the urinalysis
-Anyway, I was getting my blood drawn. The nurse commented that my veins were really small, almost feminine. I had to reassure that it was because I donated blood a few months ago.
-Then I went to a bathroom, right next to the blood test, with a window revealing us. A woman or any man waiting at the blood test line could see us potentially.
- we got a cup and peed in it half way. The guy in charge of this yelled at us. He said don’t worry fellas, I’ve seen plenty of small bastards....
-We got the results right away for the blood and urinalysis
Physical Exam:
- I waited in the medical center’s lobby for my physical.
- Then they called us, a group of 15 men.
- They yelled at us to strip all the way, except for your boxers
- I kinda fell while trying to take off my shoe
-they took our height and weight. If we weighed too much, we get a body fat test
- I passed under the max weight by 8 pounds. Others were ridiculed for their weight. One of the staff told a large man to stop eating McDonalds. They called him a weak person since his will doesn’t prevent his abnormal size. I don’t even thought they’re not even allow to say this anymore
- We then got in formation for the physical, 3 rows and each consisting of 5 men
-It was 55 degrees in the room since they didn’t want foul order to accumulate
- The doctor in charge of the duck walk came 2 hours late
- I overheard the staff saying that he was in trouble and being yelled by their boss. I apologize, I’m unsure what the title of the boss for the Chief Medical officer is.
-This is pure speculation. I’m ASSUMING it relates with the previous incident I mentioned
-During this time we stood in placed for two hours in a cold room.
- we talked with the staff about their career. One staff said he was asked back in the 80s, “Do you suck d--k.” You know, cuz the military prohibited gay men from joining
- The staff then asked us about the branch we’re applying for and MOS.
-Most of them were navy so they praised the one applicant in the room that was navy
- Us army applicants were called a herd of sheep. They also ridiculed the army branch as well. That one staff member that was army stood their like 👀.
-Then they informed me of......the spreading of your buns. Plus, the finger sticking. I panicked and almost shat myself.
-A new doctor came after two hours and supervised us doing maneuvers (swinging arms, duck walk, rotating wrist, lifting our leg and extending it to a lock etc.)
-We then sat in chairs waiting for the doctors to perform the actual physical in a private room
-I was the 6th in line. These doctors were old and walked really slow. After an hour and a half, I was checked
-They checked my ear for any abnormalities
-They checked my back by making me touch my toes
-They made me flex my toes
- I then lay on the bed and they checked my neck, armpits, legs, and arms for problems
- Then came the private section
- the female doctor called a male chaperone as required by policy
- I shows my junk and she touched it, np
-Then she told me to turn around, spread them cheeks and bend over....
-I did and luckily got no finger sticking!
- I then left the room
-I waited at the medical center’s lobby for my results
-After ten minutes, I was informed that I passed MEPS
- I had to run this through at the main lobby’s central desk where you normally check in/check out
-After informing them I went to the NG Liason and handed them the paperwork
-In my case, since I’m a minor, didn’t fill a contract that same day.
- Instead I waited at the cafeteria and ate food (beef sandwich, an apple, and two cookies)
-after two hours my recruiter picked me up and I went home.
- I’m awaiting for my recruiter to contact me again. so I can decide the date in which I return to MEPS and make a contract.
-Other than that, all went well
*Edit* i forgot to post results. I was deemed eligible! I got an 88 on the ASVAB and passed the physical. My MOS will be a 68W. My ship date is set November 18!
Thanks it was very detailed. :) going to Meps at 17 next week.
@@klum8872 How did it go? I'm going Next week too
Can anyone else give their meps experience? Even something half as detailed as 👆would be outstanding
@@sosa7k169 had to reschedule family emergency. I go Thursday to verify my test
Ngl that was literally my exact same story when I went to meps in May. The guy watching me pee had a long pony tail and was screaming at all of us the entire time.
Went through MEPS today. What he says is true guys, the only guys who failed today were the ones who couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Yea it’s very rarely for medical reasons. Although there was this one woman who tested positive for the pregnancy test, when I was there. Idk how often that happens
I’ll keep that in mind. I’m about to keep my trap shut.
Is time to put my poker face on and pass meps.
@@Sean13311So they don’t have access to your medical records during meps ? I have concerns about previous marijuana use & seeing a social worker in my past but no diagnoses or meds. Should I even disclose this to my recruiter ? Im so stuck on this .
Doctor: Have you ever smoked marijuana?
Me: No.
Doctor: Pff, I knew you weren't cool...

I said no bc I do research lmao.
hey man you should make a video on how to make a military bed and set your uniform and equipment for the next morning
heyitsthejster1 i concur
Yeah good idea man
and how to tie your boots and to do the pant legs and how to tie the tie (4 the guys)
yeah thats a good Idea
True.
My recruiter told me to get in, and get the hell out of MEPS
1- Have u woken up in the middle of the night to drink water? ...Never 😶 (serious face activated tho)
2- Have u ever tripped and fell?
....what is a trip and how does it fall? lol
3- Have u driven a car?
....What is a car my sir?
Uni munk 😂😂
Not but forreal what questions do they ask lol
Bump
Jennifer G a bunch of questions about if you have ever done drugs or had surgery. Just say no on everything like deadass
Johnathan Buckner do they check medical history or no? Cause i had minor knee surgery in highschool.
Ever had a sore throat?
-Nope.
Ever stubbed your toe?
-Nope.
Ever had an abnormal fart?
-Nope. Nope. Nope.
Ever-
-Nope.
Emanuel Santana I can't tell if you're joking or not 😂 Do they really ask if you've ever had a sire throat?
Lexi Villa Nah I’m kidding lml but don’t be surprised if they do and try to disqualify you for it.
Emanuel Santana Oh lord 😂 I won't go to MEPS any time soon but that's terrifying haha
Lexi Villa as long as you keep your mouth shut and paperwork matches what your Recruiter says, you’ll be good

HIPAA is the monster under a therapists bed. The military is the monster in HIPAA's closet
Toke me 12 hours to go through the process at MEPS, after the swear in though It was all worth it. The pride you have after beats those hours
SkYinZo Collazo i just cant wait to get to meps and be done with it
My meps took about 5 hours
@@donnysan lucky
Took me 3 days. My recruiter got into some sort of trouble and was immediately removed from the recruiting office and a new recruiter was assigned while I was at MEPS. All the paperwork that had the old recruiter's signature, had to have the new recruiter's signature. He had to drive to Detroit from Owosso and get the paperwork updated. I don't know what kind of trouble my old recruiter got into, they wouldn't tell me, but whatever it was, it had to be serious. I never saw him again. The bonus part was that I didn't have to ride the bus back to Owosso. My new Recruiter gave me a ride back in that luxurious Chrysler K car he was issued!
Make sure you actually listen to them guys
"So you have never smoked marijuana?"
"No sir"
"I thought so"
"So, you've never smoked weed?"
"Correct sir"
"Well, most people have. Usually if it's like a little amount, we don't care. You know how you can buy MJ in little $5 or $10 baggies?"
"No sir, I do not know. I have never bought or smoked weed."
**Interviewers face falls** "You have evaded my evil trap..."
_Based on a true story._
“Do you smoke marijuana?”
“No”
“When’s the last time you smoked marijuana?”
😐
At MEPS for paper work and evaluations.”No,Never,None.”
Doctor:Do you smoke?
Me:No
Doctor: Have you ever self harmed?
Me:No
Doctor:Are you straight?
Me:No
Me:Wait hold on
MAJJ RAPS Literally me
ROFL you have me cracking up over here
lol omg
MAJJ RAPS omfg 😭😂😂😂
Navy: say no more you’re in
MEPS is easy, as long as you've never smelled Marijuana
Devin Nash smelled or smoked lol?
Nah they hand out waivers all the time now
no, ever thought about itXD.
Doc} have you ever smoked marajuana?
me} what the heck is marajauana?
Doc} its a-
Me} no i havnt
If you lie about marijuana at MEPS can that effect you down the line for security clearances that involve polygraphs?
What happens if you smoked it before
I'm a MEPS veteran, been there 5 times, going on my sixth and final time to ship on August 27th
Lol meps veteran. Ha thats a good one
If you fail Meps, when could go back again?
Sébastien Tatis Gonzalez as soon as you fix the deficiencies your recruiter can send you back, whether it be over weight or a speeding ticket. Failing a drug test or something like that would disqualify you longer though.
Actually I've been worried about the drug test because I go to MEPS at Tuesday and was like 24 days ago I smoked weed for last time, I've been working out too hard to put all that THC out of my system
Sébastien Tatis Gonzalez I don’t want to give you the wrong call because ion know how long weed stays in your system but if you also don’t know I rather give the recruiter a heads up then go there and fail. I wanna say he can probably reschedule you for later so you are guaranteed to pass
The best part about MEPS was how I suddenly got respect after passing. Many doctors and recruiters and workers. They all smiled and I was congratulated left and right like they know either I am an innocent child of god or I have the worlds best poker face.
Meps doc)Have you ever...
Me) nope nope nope
Yepp
I wish I was that smart. I told them I was premature and got sent home and that was back in October and I’m gonna be going back in the next few weeks 😞
I was told only lying about your records or a major medical issue would DQ me. Nope, it seems a bruise on my big toe was all it took for the Doc to suspend my ship date.
MoovieDude sounds about right. They got me when the doc was checking intimate areas, he barely looked and still got me for something I didn't even know about. They also asked about the scars on my face, which they didn't care about.
Henry Lewis Was it just a temporary dq? Did you get it cleared?
In meps your favorite word should be No 😅
Until they ask "Are you in good health?"
No.
Meps is a mental game. Dont over think things just relax and you will do fine. Just remember Deny Deny Deny
I passed MEPS medical today! Thanks Matt. Next up Security Clearance.
What MOS are you going for?
1: Be a unicorn. You've never been to the doctor, never had a surgery, never been sick, no scars, no cuts.
2: If you were like me and needed all the help you could get with weight do no eat the night before. You will get fed midday after your medical eval.
3: Eat breakfast. You will need the brainpower to deal with the meps personnel.
4: Yes sir no sir with everybody you meet.
5: Do not be the first in line at the beginning. I was named private switch the whole day because the desk sgm told me to flip a light switch and I couldn't find it.
6: Don't pee before you get there. My urinalysis was tough because I did. You stand in the bathroom, 5 urinals side by side no coverings and 2 meps personnel watching you at all times. If you go before it'll take you longer.
7: Not really important to pass meps but make friends while you're there. They last a lifetime
8: Like he said in the video meps personnel are not your friends. They try at every chance they get to make you slip up and fail you. Be on alert and watch what you say.
I can't really think of anything else. It will seem like a lot once you are there since it starts early in the morning but after you get through it you'll look back and laugh at the memory.
June 8th, 2020 I ship to ft leonard wood. 68W
Yooo, I'm shipping that same day and going to the same fort!
@@Luis-ng1zi That's awesome! I'm Zach Beebe look for me I'll see you in a couple days
How’s everything going man?? Also, 68W is currently what I’m working towards! Going to MEPS hopefully the 16th-17th and swearing in the that last day too 🤞🏻
@@emmazing1686 Everything is great! Honestly, 68W is one of the best MOS you could have picked. You're going to meet some of the wackiest, funniest, and just outright dumbest people once you get to AIT. Unfortunately due to covid and me having a weak immune system I was recycled three times through three different companies. I started in Foxtrot (best company ever), went to Bravo, then ended my time there in Echo. It's hard, you'll be tired most of the time and having to balance learning how to not kill your casualty with early morning PT and the drill sergeants there messing with you just for funsies. It's a great MOS though. I hope you have fun at MEPS, I went to the Louisville station and they put you in a nice hotel on the river, don't know if they're doing roomates still but I would enjoy the hotel to it's fullest while you can, but they have a guy posted at the end of the hallway (but they switch out around midnight and it takes them a while to get back up there don't ask how I know) You'll meet some people going to the same basic training site as you there as well, so try to make some connections, it'll make the time easier especially if you end up in the same battalion/bay. Make sure to do some good and learn well, the news isn't looking so hot in my "professional" opinion so you might need those skills you're going to learn soon.
@@Zach-wb1fd thank you so much for replying back!! I really appreciated being able to read a lot your experience, it’s very helpful! I took the PiCAT yesterday and scored 86. I’m currently about to meet up with my recruiter and head to MEPS for my confirmation test. Wish me luck 🤞🏻 if I pass, I’ll sign a contract for 68W, swear in tomorrow, and go to basic this summer after I get out of school.
So i am hearing lie and trust noone
videosby Angelina basically. 🤷
I mean don’t lie if you have asthma or say you have green eyes when you have brown eyes. But if you want a fuckin security clearance you’ve never smoked inhaled or injected any drug ever. Catch my drift?
Pretty much
Yep
Don’t lie about something that they can visibly see or physically find out.
The absolute best way to pass: Get REALLY good at saying the word 'No'
Here's how to pass MEPS
"no sir/no ma'am."
Congrats you did it.
All the crap about being fined and being sent to prison for fraudulent enlistment is BULLSHIT!! Whatever is on that paper is all they know about you! Stay true to it and listen to your recruiter.
Yup! My recruiter said they can only send me to prison if i fallsify important documents like ID
I am afraid I cannot like this as it’s at 69 lives I’m sorry and nice
Thanks to MHS genesis this is no longer the case regarding medical records
Genesis will catch it 😂
Give a quick moan when they poke you
Leonardo Diego I never got a finger in the ass, is that a normal thing?
Told the small Chinese im nervous ...he said bend over and smile from your asshole
what if it goes in to easily lol
STEPHENaSmithTwin Lookup then they make you enlist in the navy
@@coleboucher6300 hidden gem
So you’re saying that 90% of the people lied at MEPS to pass? We would have few people in the military if we all told the truth at MEPS is what you’re saying? My recruiter is fighting hard for me, and he’s coaching me lol. All because I have a birth defect where I have limited hearing in one of my ear. Im just going to press the button for the hearing test even if I don’t hear shit
good luck I had surgery this month for a perforation in my ear drum I have to wait 120 days before I'm able to go to meps .
American Roger 34483 2 more months man hang in there. I'm at this military academy getting my GED so I can enlist. I also got 2 months before I graduate. Recruiter already told me come there the day I graduate to enlist.
When in doubt press the button.
I can't hear at all in my right😅 I'm screwed
Did you pass?
I spent 8 hours at MEPS yesterday and made it to the final medical exam, the Doc wouldn't clear me to ship because I have a bruise on my big toe....wtf!!? Word of advice to anyone planning on going to MEPS: if you have any noticeable bruises,cuts or bumps you are better off waiting until they heal because the Doc could very well fail you just for that.
MoovieDude this is the fucken problem with the military
Does scars count?i have like 10 slits on both of my wrists to my elbow from cutting my self when i was still in beta phase,im trying to redeem my self from all the stupid shits i did in my past
No redemption needed, we all make mistakes.
MoovieDude hey is there somewhere I can message you, I have some questions
Bumble Beer yes those scars will be a problem if they notice them
If you broke your pinky toe when you were 9, don’t put that on there. If you’ve had a heart transplant when you were 13, you NEED to put that down. They will try to get you to tell on yourself. Always stick by your story. If you are unsure about something, talk to your recruiter and he will advise you on what to do. Best of luck for people going to MEPS. The only thing MEPS knows about you is on the papers you fill out. Don’t give them anything they don’t need to know.
My recruiter made me fill out some medical history paperwork, does MEPS have access to this beforehand? I would honestly like to ignore what I put down, such as frequent headaches and joint pain because I don’t want to fail MEPS. What should I do?
What about adhd when I wa as little haven't taken pills for it in forever also ik this is 2 years later sorry lol😂😂💀
Never actually seen someone fail meps. One guy had a pocket knife in his bag that he forgot about but he was supposed to be shipping that day, needless to say he didn't ship.
Shawn McCabe seen this girl not pass because didn't pass the piss test
Noah Westergaard ahh yeah everyone passed the day I went. The closest someone came to failing was the duck walk but they ended up pulling it off
m1k39991 oh shit, maybe my group just had a good day haha
m1k39991 and technically I "failed" due to needing a medical waiver that I didn't have at the moment, but I still passed the physical, ortho and the screenings and everything. Damn waivers.
m1k39991 Damn. I'm still jumping through hoops trying to get this waiver approved. The problem that complicates things is some documents I can't get because the surgery happened when I was 4 and I'm now 23 so those records are long gone except for the few i have.
MEPS was borring. Im actually at Ohare airport heading to Basic Trainning NOW haha Ft Lenardwood 31B thanks for all your advice im confident ill make it now.
Callsign Lykos i ship to ft leonardwood june 4th for 68w
Callsign Lykos omg... I live in dyer indiana and you probably wont see this but when i eblist in about 2 years ish... I wanna do 31b so bad
31B? Hahaha same man I leave in a few weeks though
You back yet?
You mean ohare Chicago?
It’s awesome how much information you have to offer to all of us wanting to enlist. It’s really cool. It has taken a lot of stress off of me. Thank you
I probably said “No sir/No ma’am” at least a hundred times while going through MEPS.
They say i have your medical records in there hand I'll be like prove it boiiiii lol
Rayrayber 😂😂😂 lmao me
😂😂💀
Then you proven you have a medical record.
I remember my recruiter and their chief telling me to say no to everything. Even if I thought I had it, just say no. The only medical records they have of you are the ones you give them. So unless it’s very obvious that you have the condition, just say no.
Thank you man, i look forward to your videos every day and appreciate the advice and information you provide in each video
Meps should be handled like drugs...just say no kids. Mmkay 😅
That's a great analogy!
This would be a why 50% of people fail meps. Those drug commercials failed their purpose
I'm in the middle of this now lol. I went to MEPS and on one sheet they have you put what medicines or supplements you took in the last 24 hours to make sure it doesn't interfere with your urine test. I put down that I took Excedrin Migraine. The doctors saw that and I was failed due to migraines. I was told to wait 6 months (which will be mid February) to go to a doctor for evaluation and then can appeal. My recruiter said since I've never been hospitalized for it, don't take prescriptions, and my vision is not impaired with them that I should be fine. So yes, they will try to fail you
Exactly...
+Matt Ward why?
@@ellaarrants8175 They only want people with the most perfect genomes and healthy lifestyles to enlist.
Worse case scenario for them: They spend tens of thousands of $$$ on you, and you turn around and have some medical issue that prevents you from doing your job effectively. That wastes everyone's time and money.
I take birth control... should I stop just in case? Or is that something I shouldn't worry about??
@@valeriez.40 Ask your recruiter. Good luck!
Thanks for all of these videos man, I’m just waiting on a waiver for my eczema and hopefully I’ll be at meps in the next two weeks!
Thank you for making it clear. I was one of those people that failed meps, told the docter that i had mild depression which was stated in my medical record. I not depressed in an way any more as it grew out of me.
Just passed my MEPS exam 8/16/19!! Now to finish my packet then set up a board interview. I'm so excited about joining the Army! Your videos keep me pumped up!
How has the army been treating you?
Don’t worry about MEPS at all!!!! Just got home from St. Louis MEPS yesterday, not bad at all. Simple easy process. Everything goes smooth
Damn this man is a real one! Telling us so many tips!
Thank you for the tips and advice. This is going to be really helpful when I go to MEPS tomorrow.
Thanks for your service and all the tips man, really. I’ve been watching your stuff religiously. I leave for MEPS in an hour so it feels like you uploading this yesterday was fate or something😂
Good luck!
Nathan Vossler did you pass?
Zaddy J King Yeah, I ship out Feb 5 to Fort Jackson
Nathan Vossler that's awesome good luck! was it hard?
Zaddy J King It was freaky having people tell me I was going to jail for lying about injuries I’ve never had, but the only advice I have for anyone going into MEPS is REALLY keep your cool because before you know it, the day will be over and you can go home and catch a nap, which you’re definitely going to want😂
Meps on Tuesday!!! I cant wait to get started with my career! You have helped me so much man. Thank you so much
So how did meps go for you ? I know it’s a late response lol but I’m praying you made it in
Just say NO for everything unless you wear eye glasses .. period ! Listen to you’re recruiter and dont be that idiot who is trying to be honest abe
Deion Smith I was that honest Abe and pushed everything back for like 5 months 😂 but I finally swore in last month and ship out to ft Leonard wood for 31b on July 22
I was honest Abe. :(
Ranstone Did you get in?
I got incredibly lucky, and the doctors ended up sticking up for me. I have no idea how I survived outside of dumb luck.
I was honest AF AND had a cold that day but somehow i still got veryy lucky and swore in 😭
Doctor:Good morning
Me:No Sir
Doctor:ok?😅
Instructor:Congratulations soldier you did it
Me:No sir!!!
Going to MEPS tomorrow and I'm a bundle of nerves. Thank you for the warning about the threat of jail, I'm glad I know that they'll do that. I'm going to be so glad when it's over. Thanks for all the awesome content, Matt!
How'd it go
Still in jail?
Guess so
4 years in jail?
MEPS is definitely stressful. I was worried about doing something wrong the whole time. Made it through and swore in! Active duty 13J.
I’m enlisting in the Army Reserves & go to MEPS next week and have been FRANTIC over getting through it 😭, thanks so much for the insight!
How did it go ?
@@Jennybando Made it through!! Wasn’t as nerve wracking as I thought it’d be, stay grounded & it’s a breeze.
Note - didn’t finish my 4 year term due to health complications.
@@samurae.3 Aw well I’m glad it meps went well for you. Do you mind if I ask a question about how the medical questions go? Did you answer no to all?
Great video man, thanks for the info! I’ll be hitting MEPS in two days
Also why are your videos so good? I can't stop watching them. I've been watching your videos for the past hour or two
Shy bladder sucks, it’s a thing that people don’t realize how hard this really is to deal with unless you have problems with it.
AndyRips LMFAOO you couldnt pee during the drug test you mean?
AndyRips some guy went thru that when i was taking it
I saw that happen to a few guys.
I appreciate the video, Matt! Already failed MEPS once before I saw your video!
Josh Fernau aww sorry don’t give up
Great video Matt! Going AF swore in last week
I'm currently in the hotel the night before MEPS. I've been stressing about it, but I feel a bit better now. Really appreciate it!
How did you do ? On my way soon
I've gone to MEPS twice. Just be prepared to get clowned by everyone. Everyone is mean. The doctors look 100+ years old. lol idk I liked being there
How is your career going
>be me
>go to MEPS at 0530
>tries to stay awake at MEPS
>gets called to see with a physician
>goes in physician office
>the doctor gets pissed for not saying gm
>starts insulting me by using big words
>accidentally says "shithead" beneath my breathe
>doctor hears
>gets sent back home for a week
>mfw
Edit : In all seriousness though, I did mess up on the first time I went to MEPS. Simply because I've never gotten up 3 in the morning in my life to go to a place where everything is stricter than my Aunt's house when I was 3. It was an interesting experience honestly. A week later, I went back to complete the rest of the tests that I haven't completed. Everything went smoothly. I get qualified, I pick my MOS and got my ship date on July 2nd. Thanks for all the help you provided Matt.
Good luck bro!!
I go to MEPS in a week. Im joining the Navy and I am really excited. This video summed up my worries. Thanks
I just got through. Meps was legit the funniest day of my entire life. The people watching at meps is the best I’ve ever seen.
I'm glad I fanatically stayed clean during high school.
Honestly I was thinking how absolutely detrimental mentally it has to be for the guy who's job it is to stare at ass cracks all day at MEPS
I go to Meps tomorrow. Should be fun. Glad I saw this video, Thanks bro👍🏻
Even after your shipped out at reception there going to pressure everyone again if they lied lol
I got 11X and swore in...im leaving for Fort Benning in 2 weeks
Phillip Fields I hope you did good, brother
Hope all is well man, I go to MEPS today after school for 11X
Congrats. I go to meps friday.
I’m late to the party , but I hope all went well , I went through fort benning back in 2010
Phillip Fields how’d it go?
Just made it through meps today, signed as an 11B for national guard. It really wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.
t00 d4m f1lthy ha nice bro, i head to meps 6th of april
t00 d4m f1lthy I'll be heading there in june for national guard, I'm still in school so I'm doing split training
Heading to benning in late may. :)
Heading to Benning late may too maybe I’ll seen y’all there
Travis Hicks what day if you dont mind me asking?
In the airport on my way to meps right now!! This really helped! Thank you!
Good advice. Just stay true guys and girls, it is what it is if there’s certain things that are in the past but aren’t on paper and will not come up in the future and also are not not part of you anymore then it didn’t happen. Get through the process. Stay true. Serve. Good luck
Never fall sleep in there.
They dont like that
ramon castro i did and they just slapped my leg 😭
Lmao I fell asleep twice and I still passed
@@rayybandss8495 lmao
I didn't even fall asleep, they just thought I was and then they yelled at me and told me to take a lap. Fuckers.
It was a 2 day process for me, but hell today i took oath of enlistment. I'll be shipping Jan 14, 2020 for BCT for the US Navy.
HOOYAH to your future sailor
DaFordKid Films only 2 day? For me it was closer to 8 and 4 different trips to MEPS lol good luck boot camp isn't that bad my RDC's loved me because I acted like I wanted to be there on week 5 of training my 3rd RDC petty officer garret asked me if I have made any friends XD little did he know the whole division loved me I just wasent planning on getting caught talking. If you wanna make friends fast join head crew don't be the head PO tho. it'll come with extra responsibility but it's worth it head crew and laundry crew are the closest knit people in bootcamp
DaFordKid Films why so damn late?
Appreciate this man I meet w my recruiter soon before I got to meps and this covered most of the questions I had for her
Awesome videos with a lot of info! Thanks bro!
Even if they ask if you ever had a headache say no.
This was sooo helpful I’m going to meps on Monday
Just completed Miami Meps. This video helped a ton. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Very good stuff to know before I go!
Fun fact: I requested my processing be put on hold _Mid MEPS interview_ so I could be sure of a discrepancy that came up.
Upon returning, the one Marine asked firmly if I was gunna get "Kicked out " again. I opened my mouth to correct him, but my brain is larger than my ego, so all that came out was a firm "No sir".
He nodded and went back to work, and I took the oath 9 hours later.
MEPS is definitely an interesting experience. Glad its over lol!
That's what I figured. I'll be going soon just researching things to expect. Thanks for replying
Thank you. Awesome to hear this. I just starting my adventure.
I’m going in like a Juggernaut. It’s taken me nearly 4 years to get to this point, because the amount of wavers and paper work I got. Everything they could require, from when I had braces to me getting a psych evaluation, I got cleared before MEPS.
Going to MEPS tomorrow down in San Antonio! Excited to waste the day away waiting!
luis martinez Ayeee I’m from San Antonio too, how was MEPS?
Im going to MEPS soon, glad I watched this video
Never.
I'm going this Monday bro thanks for the advice👍🏽
I was so paranoid about the duck walk for some reason that I practiced it for 30 minutes.
Same lol i had to stay at meps for 3 days and for 2 nights all i practiced was the duck walk because at my recruting office one of the recruiter kept saying my back had to be super straight by the time the day came i was super sore from practicing for hours it ended up being super easy tho lol
Maybe I had a different experience than most but there were only about 2 mean people working at the MEPS, everyone else was friendly and very helpful. Just make sure you keep your story straight always. As my recruiter said, don’t become a hypochondriac and say well maybe I have this and that, you will fail instantly.
this literally put me at ease thank you so much
Heading today, thanks so much man!
So, from what I’m learning from the video and comments, just say no to everything besides if I need glasses or not 😂 got it!
I'll try my best not to fail
My folks worked hard for us to move to this country so I have nothing to loose.
I'm in my early 20s and want to get in.
Thank you for your service Matt and Salute you brother I’ll be going to Meps Wednesday this week wish me luck
Going this Thursday !! 💪🏼💪🏼
