MEPS isn’t that bad I got back today. The only thing I have to say is they’re kinda rude, at least at Raleigh. So here’s a lil rundown You arrive at the hotel around 3:00 You get a room key, a meal pass (good food btw) you’ll have a roommate and you can workout, play pool whatever. YOU HAVE TO SHOWER at night and the morning. A quick body shower. I had a 10:00 curfew, try and get some sleep guys!!! I got up at 4 the next day took a quick shower got changed and went down stairs and ate breakfast. Which was pretty good as well. Then you’ll get to MEPS and first you’ll stand outside for about 20 mins as everyone goes through security. Then you’re gonna get your records, and start at medical. You do a breathalyzer, blood pressure, blood draw, pee test, and for females your breast and lower region is check out. Then In your underwear you’ll do a duck walk, and some range of motion exercises. Then you’ll start looking over paperwork with your counselor and they’ll explain your contract and ship dates and you’ll swear in. After that you go get some more paperwork and you’re ready to go. My day was from 5:00am-11:30am so it’s really not that bad y’all. And CONGRATS ❤️ y’all should be excited
My son left today for MEPS. He’s at the hotel right now. I hope all goes well. I’m going to send him your video. It was very helpful. Thank you. My son is going into the Air Force. He will be 18 in October. So he still has his senior year. He did the testing a couple weeks ago. Congratulations to you!
Coleman Buckler bro I went like two weeks ago and we got to wait in a line for a long time to check everyone’s temperature and that’s at the hotel and at meps everyone lines up and gets checked one by one
Thanks for the heads up. I'm due to go to MEPS tomorrow myself. **Update** A bit late on this, but it went well! But it certainly was boring as all hell. Hours and hours of sitting and waiting between exams and sessions. Get your sleep beforehand, I'm not joking. Some guys got sent home cause they nodded off.
Yooo what’s up guys! If you have any questions just leave a comment and I will answer them ASAP. If you liked the video please give it a like and subscribe if you wanna keep up with me!
Here before this channel blows up!! Also when im out of highschool I'm hoping to get into the navy. Parents are not supportive though so idk what to really do. Got any advice?
Don’t let your parents stop you from achieving what you want to achieve in life ( within reason, don’t dropout and be a SoundCloud rapper)! Since your parents aren’t supportive, try your best to convince them to support your decision, most of the time they think your gonna go off to war when in reality your not. Let them know there are other occupations in the military other than one that’s in combat. You could be an intelligence specialist 25,000 miles away from danger. If they want you to go to college let them know you can do both! Try to get your parents to support you your life will be so much easier but if that doesn’t work, your most likely gonna have to wait until your 18 to join which isn’t a big deal. As long as the military is what you wanna do. YOU WILL REGET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE if you let your parents decide for you. I’ve heard someone say “I would’ve served but my mom wanted me to stay home, I couldn’t do that to her” ( a real conversation) don’t be that guy. Since your in highschool, find out if they offer ROTC, it doesn’t matter which branch of ROTC it is just join! Being in ROTC helps you get used to military life and it gets you promoted! Hope that helps. Also look at EVERY BRANCH before you make a decision, I wanted to be a marine in highschool and I’m now in the army. Don’t be blinded by the name, look at how the branch is gonna benefit YOU.
Isaac Simpson idk if you still need this advice but i have an unsupportive parent as well and tbh you have to live your life for you so do what makes you happy, it sucks that they don’t support you but you don’t wanna be miserable and have regrets because of that
Heading off to MEPS in the morning, never did drugs, never broke a bone, but still scared they'll find something, lol. Thanks for the vid, actually did help me calm down knowing what's going to happen, 11X OP 40 is what I'm shooting for.
I went into a MEPS virigina 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.
i’m at meps right now, well in the hotel.. anyways their is this dude that was with us in the lounge and we all filled out a form that has rules for the hotel, I shit you not the first rule says “no drinking alcohol even if you are of age”, while we are talking to the main dude this guy just opens a beer and gets yelled at “we are contacting your recruiter and your going home” the guy then hits him with the “it’s ok, i’m a holdover”
Went to meps Houston yesterday. It wasn't as tough as what I heard, read, and watched here in youtube. I guess we were lucky! The doctors there were cool. I thought I wasn't able to go through yesterday due to my vision but man I tried my best for that. My vision wasn't that bad but the doctor told me I would need some glasses or contacts for greater eyesight. Finished all of it at around 12 but the thing is I had to wait like 3-4 hours to swear in due to some paper works needed to be fixed. Anyways, got through all of it, swore in as an EM, shipping out next year on march but I asked my recruiter to request for an early ship out and told me maybe this october or november. So yea. Thankful it's finally done!
I go to New Orleans MEPs station in 2 weeks but I'm inbetween DEP and Active Duty if that makes sense? I'm waiting for my MOS to become available before I leave. As soon as it's available I ship off.
Aaronb TV it was boring lmao long burning hours😂like you said , but I did it!! I’m officially enlisted, I ship to boot camp right after a graduate high school,
Aaronb TV Thx man I was super nervous before going and I stayed up until 4:00 just watching videos 😂.But everything turned out good I signed my contract for 6years mandatory plus 2 years of standby as a 42A (Human resource specialist) in the Army.THANK YOU SO MUCH you literally described everything
I haven't taken my asvab yet I was planning on taking the PICAT and honestly I'm scared of meps 😅. I'm only 17 right now and man this shit seems scary as fuck
So I'm kind of worried. I have cat scratches on my upper arm. (Put my cat in a headlock dont ask why😂) but it looks self inflicted. I dont want them to not believe me and get disqualified. What do I do?
So I been hearing if you go to meps you get sent out to the military the very next day I’m confused as far as delayed entry program and the shipping out the next day so my ultimate question is how do you know if you ship out the next day or if you are in the delayed area?
andy salgado dude, your chances of shipping the next day are like 1 in a million. Only time I’ve ever heard that happening is the person was homeless and literally had nowhere to go.
Talk to your recruiter, If you’re in the delayed entry program and your going to MEPS for the first time you’re not shipping out that first time but talk to your recruiter.
a lot of people also wonder about phone usage, for me, we could use it unless we were on the MEPS floor where you had to take your tests. otherwise, outside that building your fine to use it. And yes, they watch you pee. and no there were no dividers, theres a slanted mirror across all the urinals where anyone can watch you struggle with your johnson.
Your recruiter will try to have another applicant go with you and you both share a hotel room. Both times I went to Meps I had a battle buddy with me and in my room as well. You might get lucky tho and get your own room
I'm kinda nervous for tomorrow interview because I'm not a native English speaker...hahahaha I didn't get to practice to speak in English as my recruiter speaks to me with our native language! Any tips for answering their questions besides yes, no, and never??
Hey bro, just a quick question if you don't mind. Did you have to fill out a huge packet at the recruiter's office before going to MEPS? Just wondering if that's normal...
Lmfao yea bro, I had to fill out a bunch of stuff and sign a bunch of stuff although your recruiter can make that process A little quicker if they’re nice and do some of the stuff for you.
I am going to MEPS in 3 days 😄 i have sooo many questions. What day of the week did u go? Im going on a Tuesday, its supposed to be the quickest day. How closely did they review your body for scars during physical? Did they lift up under clothes and look everywhere? Did they look at tattoos closely? How did u make time go by faster when u were just sitting and waiting? Were you allowed to have a water bottle on you? If u got secret clearance checked, what was that like? i have to get it for the job i chose (13F)
mike montalvo for me and my group, the doctor had 7 of us line up and he just quickly walked doen the line looking at lower thighs, and the lower parts of ur arm (top and bottom)
mike montalvo you’ll be fine just play it cool and try to avoid showing it btw they sell products to increase your hair depth so the scar will go from 80% - 99% covered. buy it before you go because they will do any and everything to slow your process down. Trust me on this one
I went thru meps and it wasn’t bad honestly just do what they tell u to do and do it the correct way lol but I passed my Asvab with a 38 like barley 💀 I went in for the airforce so yeah cause I knew the marines isnt for me or army and I choose security forces cause I don’t want a boring ass desk job and I like to be hands on
Okay there's a difference between self diagnosing yourself and official diagnosis. If they ask do you have depression? Think about that, sure everyone gets sad but did you go to a doctor and get diagnosed with depression? My recruiter said not to lie about legit medical conditions you have but if your fine your fine don't shoot urself in the foot
What about the exercise they make you do where you are in a squat position and fall on both knees them stand back up using your toes,please I need help I've gotta get the exercise down to go back to meps
@@AaronbTV but you know what exercise I'm talking about right,where you gotta lean back and use your toes to stand up,I can't do that one but I'm trying like hell to master it
@@cesarcorona8859 i'm finishing up a waiver and hopefully going to meps soon for the army, i want to be a helicopter mechanic and work my way up to pilot... The tension and the wait is killin me, i havn't wanted anything this bad in a long time
That MOS is one of the hardest to get in the Army. Good luck stay calm and don’t draw attention to yourself. You’ll be tired as hell and want to fall asleep. Find the right battle buddies and take shifts on sleeping for 5 mins and switch. One of the best sleep I got during MEPS. Also you are prob not gonna pick your job on Wednesday just all the test then they are gonna send you back and pick your job swear in and either dip out or get sent back home.
**UPDATE** MEPS was a great experience! I am medically qualified and the ppl I met were chill and friendly. It helps coming from a military family cuz without their guidance I would’ve struggled and signed something I didn’t wanna sign. It was chill till the end when I spoke with my counselor. I had to speak with the Sr Counselor for some reason and he tried to pressure me into going 31E instead of 31K. Which was weird cuz I never once mentioned an interest in Echo. But basically I didn’t sign anything and left. The recruiters and counselor said that I would most likely never get that MOS (31K) and that it won’t open up for me until 2022 which was kinda a bummer to hear but I also highly doubt that is the case. If anything maybe a couple months but 2 years is a stretch and most likely a scare tactic to make me sign for another job. Everything was great up until the end. 😁
ボーッWavy aye I’m glad. Also remember if you can’t get your job with one recruiter you can go to others and they can prob get your job and also don’t forget about the National guard. That’s what I was in and they got my job with a snap of their fingers. Don’t blow off the guard if you think they ain’t shit lol. But I’m glad you didn’t just sign and be miserable. 🤘🏽 best of luck to you and if you do ever get in definitely come back to this post would love to hear how it goes.
Yo Aaron I know this video is really old but I’m just now going to meps this week so I was wondering , where did u get all of your army shirts? Did u buy them yourself or do they issue them to you?
Hi! I know I'm kinda late to this video but I go to Meps tomorrow (or the hotel tmrw and Meps the day after tomorrow), do you know anything about the female experience for meps and what kind of things they have to do cuz I'm a female
@@AaronbTV ok thank you, also what kind of information will I have to provide? Like do I have to fill something out about where I live, my highschool grades, etc??
Your recruiter should tell you everything you need but basically Birth certificate, social security card, maybe highschool diploma. Also your recruiter may just upload it all to MEPS where you don’t have to bring anything at all
I'm travis from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Im 25 years old and i have interest in migrating to the states next year and to sign up for the national guard I feel so old and intimated by all the young folk how can one take the asvab if he is he is from another country or can they take the asvab
Anyone can take the ASVAB, just study or buy the book for it. But if you don’t pass with a passing score, you can retake it. Since you’re from another country they might let you pass with a score of +20 or so, but you’re gonna have to go to a military school and retake the test to fully get in.
Ok so right now we’re in quarantine because of the corona virus 😅 but I haven’t gone to meps because of my weight😐 do you have any tips on losing weight? Thank you very much and I enjoyed this video!
Mireya Soriano intermittent fasting tons of helpful videos. Many apps out there as well to give you a helping hand. Cut pop, sugar, water water water. If you’re going to consume caffeine small amounts. Because once you go to basic you will not have access to caffeine. You will have withdrawals headaches and other things.
Yosapa Gurkin thank you for the tips! I am currently doing intermittent fasting lol and I only drink water so that was a plus and yeah so I’m down a couple pounds and I’m hoping that I’m ready for meps:)
itsscynthia 2001 it was actually super chill, hotel was so nice. nice room had a roommate and they had games and food downstairs. had to wake up at 3 am and be downstairs by 3:45 with roommate and room key. i have to go again tho bcuz i forgot my car accident documents but meps was easy af so i’m not trippin
Who's going to Reserves too? I feel like I'd be missing out from a lot of things... I signed up to being active duty at first but then I was held back by my family lol..
Im going to meps today , I did marihuana last month but since then I haven’t , I took a home drug test and I came out negative , I had to told my recruiter but if for some reason the home drug test was wrong and I give positive for thc will that disqualify me forever or I have another chance ?

Your video for MEPS is the best one. Straight to the point, no chatting, and actually talking about the experience
MEPS isn’t that bad I got back today. The only thing I have to say is they’re kinda rude, at least at Raleigh. So here’s a lil rundown
You arrive at the hotel around 3:00
You get a room key, a meal pass (good food btw) you’ll have a roommate and you can workout, play pool whatever.
YOU HAVE TO SHOWER at night and the morning. A quick body shower.
I had a 10:00 curfew, try and get some sleep guys!!! I got up at 4 the next day took a quick shower got changed and went down stairs and ate breakfast. Which was pretty good as well. Then you’ll get to MEPS and first you’ll stand outside for about 20 mins as everyone goes through security. Then you’re gonna get your records, and start at medical. You do a breathalyzer, blood pressure, blood draw, pee test, and for females your breast and lower region is check out. Then In your underwear you’ll do a duck walk, and some range of motion exercises. Then you’ll start looking over paperwork with your counselor and they’ll explain your contract and ship dates and you’ll swear in. After that you go get some more paperwork and you’re ready to go.

I had to go to meps alone cuz of COVID I was confused and bored ash the whole time lol
That’s about to be me tomorrow
They let you go wherever you wanted!? My recruiter told me if I left the hotel I would be picked up and my enlistment would end.
Depending on age if 18 over u can leave gotta be back a certain time
I went into a MEPS virigina center in 2014 and drove there myself. Got to the part with the doctor to weigh me on a scale.

Damn! I’m going this Sunday, am I going to sign contract and take the oath right there????
🙏God is good🙏
Do you go to meps by your self and have your own room?
Your recruiter will try to have another applicant go with you and you both share a hotel room. Both times I went to Meps I had a battle buddy with me and in my room as well. You might get lucky tho and get your own room
Any advice you can give me? I’m going to a hotel Monday and then to MEPS that Tuesday
I'm kinda nervous for tomorrow interview because I'm not a native English speaker...hahahaha I didn't get to practice to speak in English as my recruiter speaks to me with our native language!
Any tips for answering their questions besides yes, no, and never??
Hows it going
Was talking toa female in line and this nurse ran down the hall yelling to get away from the females 😂
Damn 🤣
What is you did drugs in the past?
Hey bro, just a quick question if you don't mind. Did you have to fill out a huge packet at the recruiter's office before going to MEPS? Just wondering if that's normal...
By fill out, I mean sign like 60+ pages?
Lmfao yea bro, I had to fill out a bunch of stuff and sign a bunch of stuff although your recruiter can make that process A little quicker if they’re nice and do some of the stuff for you.
@@AaronbTV Thanks man. I was freaking out and thought I had signed my life away lol
I am going to MEPS in 3 days 😄 i have sooo many questions.
What day of the week did u go? Im going on a Tuesday, its supposed to be the quickest day.
How closely did they review your body for scars during physical? Did they lift up under clothes and look everywhere?
Did they look at tattoos closely?
How did u make time go by faster when u were just sitting and waiting?
Were you allowed to have a water bottle on you?
If u got secret clearance checked, what was that like? i have to get it for the job i chose (13F)
how'd it go? how closely did they look for scars?
mike montalvo for me and my group, the doctor had 7 of us line up and he just quickly walked doen the line looking at lower thighs, and the lower parts of ur arm (top and bottom)
mike montalvo for me they just glanced at my tattoos and scars(male) but during my time 3 females got dq and pdq for scars.
@@tyronestanz9176 thing is I got a scar on my head but it 80% covered with my hair so hoping they don't see it.
mike montalvo you’ll be fine just play it cool and try to avoid showing it btw they sell products to increase your hair depth so the scar will go from 80% - 99% covered. buy it before you go because they will do any and everything to slow your process down. Trust me on this one
Do they check your medical records? What if you have asthma?
I went thru meps and it wasn’t bad honestly just do what they tell u to do and do it the correct way lol but I passed my Asvab with a 38 like barley 💀 I went in for the airforce so yeah cause I knew the marines isnt for me or army and I choose security forces cause I don’t want a boring ass desk job and I like to be hands on
It’s the math and English part counts the most, really gotta study on the arithmetic, should’ve requested for a re test to score higher!
What if my doctor said i was "mildly anemic" last year should i tell them about that?? Bc I won't be going until later this year or next year
Tell your recruiter, I think you should be fine, at basic they give females iron pills or something like that
@@AaronbTV ok thanks
Okay there's a difference between self diagnosing yourself and official diagnosis. If they ask do you have depression? Think about that, sure everyone gets sad but did you go to a doctor and get diagnosed with depression? My recruiter said not to lie about legit medical conditions you have but if your fine your fine don't shoot urself in the foot
Good video bro!
What about the exercise they make you do where you are in a squat position and fall on both knees them stand back up using your toes,please I need help I've gotta get the exercise down to go back to meps
None of the exercises were difficult for me but they were pretty awkward. If you're having problems I would say just practice that specific exercise.
@@AaronbTV but you know what exercise I'm talking about right,where you gotta lean back and use your toes to stand up,I can't do that one but I'm trying like hell to master it
@D✘G I know that but how do I do the exercise,I got the whole toes being curled thing down pat but other than that I don't know
@D✘G alright so I can't sit on my heels and I wanna know how to do the exercise,I can somewhat do it in shoes but when I'm barefoot I can't
@D✘G yea,the duck walk was easy
I can't wait to join
Cody James Singleton what branch
@@cesarcorona8859 i'm finishing up a waiver and hopefully going to meps soon for the army, i want to be a helicopter mechanic and work my way up to pilot... The tension and the wait is killin me, i havn't wanted anything this bad in a long time
Cody James Singleton I ship out this Tuesday I had to get an eye waiver it was to easy
Listen everybody GET your rest I was nodding off whole process
Going to MEPS on Wednesday (03/04) super nervous but everyone says to just relax. Army 31K hopefully 🙏🏽
That MOS is one of the hardest to get in the Army. Good luck stay calm and don’t draw attention to yourself. You’ll be tired as hell and want to fall asleep. Find the right battle buddies and take shifts on sleeping for 5 mins and switch. One of the best sleep I got during MEPS. Also you are prob not gonna pick your job on Wednesday just all the test then they are gonna send you back and pick your job swear in and either dip out or get sent back home.
**UPDATE** MEPS was a great experience! I am medically qualified and the ppl I met were chill and friendly. It helps coming from a military family cuz without their guidance I would’ve struggled and signed something I didn’t wanna sign. It was chill till the end when I spoke with my counselor. I had to speak with the Sr Counselor for some reason and he tried to pressure me into going 31E instead of 31K. Which was weird cuz I never once mentioned an interest in Echo. But basically I didn’t sign anything and left. The recruiters and counselor said that I would most likely never get that MOS (31K) and that it won’t open up for me until 2022 which was kinda a bummer to hear but I also highly doubt that is the case. If anything maybe a couple months but 2 years is a stretch and most likely a scare tactic to make me sign for another job. Everything was great up until the end. 😁
ボーッWavy aye I’m glad. Also remember if you can’t get your job with one recruiter you can go to others and they can prob get your job and also don’t forget about the National guard. That’s what I was in and they got my job with a snap of their fingers. Don’t blow off the guard if you think they ain’t shit lol. But I’m glad you didn’t just sign and be miserable. 🤘🏽 best of luck to you and if you do ever get in definitely come back to this post would love to hear how it goes.
Damn I go in on Thursday, I’m about to have a heart attack just thinking about it
I really hope you got harder after MEPS. #Charmin
Your lame
When you said that at MEPS that you have to bend down and touch your toes what if you can’t? Is that a bad thing or do I just have to stretch more
Cause I’m joining in 2024 so I need to know everything I can
Son if you gonna join in 4 years that’s plenty of time to start stretching so you can at least touch your toes lol.
Lol ye bro 4 tears of stretching
Yo Aaron I know this video is really old but I’m just now going to meps this week so I was wondering , where did u get all of your army shirts? Did u buy them yourself or do they issue them to you?
How’s it going at the army? You like it?
@@03tank57 hell yeah. i love it. been in for about 4 months and it’s been the best decision i’ve ever made.
@@03tank57 i’m still in AIT but i love it so far. going to Fort Bragg in december.
@@Deloxify whats your mos
@@Dopamine2x 25B Technology Specialist
Going to meps next week!!
how did it go?
I have to go through meps again to go back to Ait I go February 4
After doing meps can you go home?
Or when is it when you officially go to week training?
You can go home
A random question but what if they dont give you the job you wanted ?
Depending on your circumstances, you can either choose another job you think you’ll like, wait for an opening, or try a different branch
Go to meps soon don’t wanna fuck up kinda nervous
going to MEPS in 2 days wish me lucky 😁
Hi! I know I'm kinda late to this video but I go to Meps tomorrow (or the hotel tmrw and Meps the day after tomorrow), do you know anything about the female experience for meps and what kind of things they have to do cuz I'm a female
Should be no different than men other than a few more questions
@@AaronbTV ok thank you, also what kind of information will I have to provide? Like do I have to fill something out about where I live, my highschool grades, etc??
Your recruiter should tell you everything you need but basically Birth certificate, social security card, maybe highschool diploma. Also your recruiter may just upload it all to MEPS where you don’t have to bring anything at all
Do they pull up if you have broken any bones before?
ZH22 Lynch yes, I think if you have broken any bones in the last year or so
AaronbTV thanks I go to meps either Monday or some other day!
I'm travis from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Im 25 years old and i have interest in migrating to the states next year and to sign up for the national guard I feel so old and intimated by all the young folk how can one take the asvab if he is he is from another country or can they take the asvab
Anyone can take the ASVAB, just study or buy the book for it. But if you don’t pass with a passing score, you can retake it. Since you’re from another country they might let you pass with a score of +20 or so, but you’re gonna have to go to a military school and retake the test to fully get in.
Ok so right now we’re in quarantine because of the corona virus 😅 but I haven’t gone to meps because of my weight😐 do you have any tips on losing weight? Thank you very much and I enjoyed this video!
Mireya Soriano intermittent fasting tons of helpful videos. Many apps out there as well to give you a helping hand. Cut pop, sugar, water water water. If you’re going to consume caffeine small amounts. Because once you go to basic you will not have access to caffeine. You will have withdrawals headaches and other things.
Yosapa Gurkin thank you for the tips! I am currently doing intermittent fasting lol and I only drink water so that was a plus and yeah so I’m down a couple pounds and I’m hoping that I’m ready for meps:)
Mireya Soriano I leave for meps today my ship date is May 27th good luck. Which branch and what mos?
Yosapa Gurkin that’s amazing! Omg good luck!!! Thank you and I’m hoping that 91B is still open when I go to meps 🤞🏻 and Army🙃 wbu?
Yosapa Gurkin and I might go airborne idk yet I’m still debating
I went to Meps 08132019. It’s not bad if you’re a patient person 🙂
Keanu Herrera do they exam your whole body? Like check every corner down there like your crack 🤣lol.
@@codybiser2963 they don't touch your nono zones
AaronbTV they just observe anything?
@@AaronbTV they better not
Yo bro how long since you first arrived there to when you had to give your piss test?
It’s prob your 3rd test.
In my experience MEPS is just a free trial of your experience at reception lol
aye i go to the hotel tonight in san antonio texas for the air force i’ll keep y’all posted after.
itsscynthia 2001 it was actually super chill, hotel was so nice. nice room had a roommate and they had games and food downstairs. had to wake up at 3 am and be downstairs by 3:45 with roommate and room key. i have to go again tho bcuz i forgot my car accident documents but meps was easy af so i’m not trippin
Logan Davis So over a hows meps in San Antonio Texas
Did he even mention anything about the doctors holding his balls while he coughed? Or the doctors sticking something in you know where? Lmao
Austin Davis do they stick-in in all cases?
Ikemesit Bassey I ain’t do none of that 💀💀💀
That shouldn’t stick anything in your ass, just look 💀
Justin Y Disciple yeah and to check if you have two testies
Justin Y Disciple yup
So don't stand at the moment of truth? Also will it be a problem if I have a speeding ticket
I had a speeding ticket but my recruiter just told me if it's paid off it will be fine. You just can't have any legal issues pending
I'm going tomorrow!
I'm going tomorrow for the Marines and I wanna know how my parents can be there
they can just show up at the place and they'll wait for you in the lobby
Are u from Chicago?
Ngina Alifah close to it
U dated brittany??
I took my ASVAB and picked my job at the recruiter office. Do I have to do it again at MEPS? Or take a section of the ASVAB?
If it was the practice asvab yes, for your job, no.
Do you take the asvab on computer or paper at meps?
Do they care about teeth?
is there a dentist? I have a dead tooth n I read about how it can prevent you from getting in. its my only concern
For me they didnt. So I dont think so but I'm not sure it may depend on the meps you go to.
You have to strip down balls out and do physical exercises?
@minion Has anyone ever accidentally got hard before?(Like when they touch your balls with cold ass gloves..)
Dang My meps hotel didn’t have nothing i went right to sleep
Awesome video friend
Who's going to Reserves too? I feel like I'd be missing out from a lot of things... I signed up to being active duty at first but then I was held back by my family lol..
Slipknot3eb I’m going in as a reservist
Smh make decisions for yourself don't let family stop you from possibly the best experience of your life
I'll be heading to meps on Monday
i’m going thursday i’m so nervous 😬
Don’t be!
what do they check?\
I have mild eczema on my neck. Am I screwed?
I really can't answer that, it's up to the doctors at MEPS, I'm sure you can get a waiver for it if its bad, talk to your recruiter about it.
Im going to meps today , I did marihuana last month but since then I haven’t , I took a home drug test and I came out negative , I had to told my recruiter but if for some reason the home drug test was wrong and I give positive for thc will that disqualify me forever or I have another chance ?
Wainer Gonzalez that’s what I’m worried about too 😬 I leave tomorrow
Everything went fine , I came up negative , ask your recruiter for a drug test before you actually go to meps
I'm doing pt training now to lose weight. Afterwards I guess I'm going to MEPS of do other things. This video will be alot of help, thankssss
I'm doing PT as well. How much do you have to lose if you don't mind me asking.
I think at least 40 lbs.
Braila Bailey have you already been in contact with a recruiter?
i'm scared cause I'm pretty sure I have high blood pressure
Same bro!
Jesse San Nicolas Meno I’m gonna see what my doctor says when I do my visit. I’m still studying for my ASVAB. I haven’t met with a recruiter yet. Hbu?
What are the cutoff levels for the drug test
@D✘G I passed man thanks for the reply though. I had quit months back but was still worried
Appreciate you bro
🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for this
