THANK YOU FOR WATCHING :) don't forget to subscribe!
That is so very awesome! Thank you for the video. I had some tears and lots of laughter!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been dreading MEPS!! You have been to the most informative and thorough person in regards to MEPS!! Now I don’t feel as nervous! I meet with my Air Recruiter on Tuesday! Thanks!
I’m glad sharing my experience was helpful!! Good luck!!
This is the most accurate video of what MEPS will be like. I had a very similar experience. Ive seen all the videos on UA-cam of ppl saying that it was awful. Yeah MEPS sucks, but its not that bad! Nothing to worry about. Great vid👍
Congratulation's , Airmen Brittany Willis, from a 7 + year USAF Vet whose 55 years old now. I participated as a Crew Chief in Panama's Operation "Just Cause" & Operation "Desert Shied/Storm". Brittany Willis you have made a wonderful choice and the best of luck serving our Country in The USAF. GOD BLESS you Brittany Willis...
Thank you!!
My advice to anyone who is going to join, or is in DEP is to workout..... Physical fitness is huge in the Armed Forces and if you are in DEP make the time to workout. If you need to lose weight, do so before you go. Everything is easier if you are in good shape. The military uses exercise to get your attention, and to punish you when you or someone you're in boot camp with makes a mistake (and it WILL happen). You should go to boot camp knowing you are physically fit.
Know your General Orders....know them, don't "sort of" know them. You can get these from your recruiter and if they don't just automatically give them to you, ask for them. There are tons of videos here on UA-cam on each branches physical fitness/readiness tests. Test yourself....and try to improve. Being fit is one less thing to stress/worry about. Just my two cents.
Thanks for sharing your experience and being so open! Loved this. I appreciate how you were so honest. You're so beautiful inside and out!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the sweet comment!
I watched so many videos before going to MEPS, then I actually went and everything you’ve said has been if not the same then similar to mine. So anyone watching this is the most accurate video
Sounds like a crazy but exciting day!! Congratulations and thank you for your service!!💕💕
I actually had my enlistment done at my school in front of my graduating class. It was our award ceremony and it was the most surrealist experience. My ARMY JROTC instructor actually swore me in. I cried by the end of it.
"If you are thinking about joining the Air Force, I hope that your process goes just as smoothly." By the compilation of your MEPS experience videos, sounds like it can only be a rough experience haha. By the way, you're freaking gorgeous, Brittany. Much love from Houston, TX.
I swore in at MEPS yesterday! Now I'm waiting for a job & ship date ughhh so happy and so excited!!
Thanks so much for creating this very detailed video step by step! I’ll be going to MEPS soon and I’m thankful for your video! It was very informational and helpful and you’re entertaining to watch!
Brittany! you are awesome! I meet with my air force recruiter today and I'm super excited! your videos have definitely made me feel better about the whole process. Please keep doing what your doing. :)
I am so happy you made these videos! This was so informative and I am also 26 headed to MEPS soon for my physical but for Coast Guard. I've been scrounging youtube for something that went into this much detail! Thank you, and good luck on your next steps!
Thanks for watching, good luck to you as well!! :)
Hey! Any updates on your experience? I am 25 turning 26 this year and I’m thinking about either CG or AF
I’m so excited about joining even the long process
My Air Force recruiter had just told me when I'm going to meps. I can't wait to go! But at the same time, I'm super nervous. But after watching these videos, it's all worth it.
Good luck!
@@Brittanylynnlewis thank you!!!
I am currently 25 going into 26 with my BA thinking of going to the Army. You give me a lot of encouragement on MEPS. Good Job!
Thank you so much for this! I am going to meps today and was freaking out but I watched all of your videos and now feel so much better about everything.
Why are you so stunning to look at? 🥺
Thanks so much for making this video!
I enjoy what you talking about Willis!
CONGRATS!! im wanting to join soon to the marine corps nd this video just made me more excited bout my journey to it , thank you!
Hi Brittany! I have enjoyed your videos so far. I took that oath 5 times. I'm a retired MSgt. With 21 1/2 years as an aircraft Crew Chief. If you get a job assignment you really enjoy. I would really go for OTS. Enjoy your career.
Thank you for your service!
My knees pop when I practice the duck walk and I’m nervous I’ll get disqualified 😭
My knees did that during the exercises and I got scared lol but they know you’re sitting around for a 12 hour day so you should be fine
I was so proud of you watching that sworn in video ❤️❤️
Thanks for these videos, helps a lot.
You were the Star of the Day :)
Your videos really helped me make my choice thank you 🥰
MEPs was the longest day of my life... excited to say I swore in just waiting to take a few more tests then pick my job!
Thanks for the info! Thinking about enlisting in the Air Force reserve 👍🏽
Good Luck, I am retired active duty Air Force 1984-2007
I'll be going to that MEPS location in Kansas City next week! Very excited. Learned a lot from these videos, thank you.
Thank you for this! As a female I've been scared as to what the females have to do so this makes me feel a lot better
And holy cow you're a lot shorter than I thought! Not an insult I'm just surprised lol
Update finally going meps tomorrow!
@@olyviakiley5646 how was your experience ?
I know this video is old but watching these make me really excited, I've been wanting to join since I graduated HS in 2017 but I kept failing the ASVAB, I had to take it a total of 6 times and I finally got a PASSING score yesterday, not the score I wanted but I finally was able to get in which is all that mattered to me. I go to MEPS in about two weeks and I finally got my weight up after YEARS of trying lol. So everything seems to be falling together perfectly. I can't wait to pick my jobs and swear in!!
How was your experience?
omg this was posted the day I swore into the DEP. same with you I'm just waiting for that call or text with my recruiter giving me a ship date. unlucky for me it took me a year and a half from start to when i finally got to MEPs. long medical history but I really wanted this so i stuck with it and im happy i did!
Congrats on swearing in!
Brittany Willis my recruiter just called me this morning and gave me a ship date for Jan 22nd! :D
Congrats!! What's your AFSC?
Brittany Willis
2A636 Aircraft electrical and environmental systems which was #2 on my list :)
Awesome!
I am heading up to MEPS right now and I have been watching your videos and I think these are the best that describe what is going to happen!! I really appreciate it! I’m hopefully going to be joining the Air Force as well!
Good luck!!!
Did you swear in???
Congratulations Brittany. May God continue to bless and protect you and all who serve with you. Intel is a GREAT choice as cyber security is YUGE going forward and wars will be fought using computers. i am 65 now but rode the incredible rise of computers and made good money and so few people today are interested in that. You young people posting re: military are inspriting me to start working out again after 2.5 years of recovering from chemo. That's another benefit of the AF or any branch - the emphasis on physical fitness. the time to start those habits is in your 20s or even 30s and it will really help you as you age. plus it just feels great to work out and the positive impact it has on your mentally as well. A great way to combat stress which is part of everyone's life now.
You explain it so well. I have been contemplating on joining but I'm 36 and kind of scared to go.
STEEL I’m 34 and planning on joining. Go for it!
Omg that was the KC MEPS?!! That's where I went and had the same lady!! She was trying to get me to go to the army to lol . she was funny!!
Hahah she was so nice and funny!!
Take a drink every time she says like.
Matt Paga 😂😂😂
That hoodie looks super cozy! Where did you get it?
My recruiter lol
I've been going through the recruitment process for almost 3 months now... They really hate letting people with a history of ADHD in the military
You have helped me intensely, I Take my ASVAB next week & then hopefully will go to MEPS not to long after
Good luck!!!
I receive a smooth process . Just submitted my waiver for financials ❤️❤️❤️
Same!! Did your recruiter tell you that because of your waiver you have to be open to what the Air Force needs and you have limited jobs?!?
I go to meps Wednesday lol in Montgomery alabama you werent kidding when you said you were short
Critique.... you'll learn that word. You critique everything till you leave the AF. Congrates britney... and welcome to the blue family. Great videos.
I just swore myself in at the end of your video lol... I will be joining soon!
Watching this helps a lot! Even though I'm not in same state lol
Thank you for sharing your experience, i am in the process of waiting for my date to head to MEPS. You are definitely lucky to have such a quick and easy process, as i have been waiting for over a month and half to even receive a date. I was wondering if it is normal to wait this long to even hear when my date is going to be for MEPS? Good luck with BMT and Aim High!
I waited a couple weeks for my date to MEPS. The more stuff that’s on your medical history, the longer it will take for them to approve you coming, from what I understand.
I had to get a sworn statement from the Surgeon who did surgery on my shoulder. All great during that 12 hr MEP's day. Without that letter I would have not got in. The USAF changed my life for the better.
Omg you look way shorter than I thought you were 😝
What job did you choose?
Where did you get your hoodie
From her recruiter
When in the process did they check your height/weight?
what do they do for people that do have to take meds for a mental disorder or do have past scars ?
Hi can you help me with this... I’ve seen a recruiter and he started some paper work but I don’t feel comfortable with him is it ok to switch without telling him?
Great video and thanks for sharing. Do you have to pick a job at meps?
Yes when you do your physical you’ll also meet with a liaison and pick jobs
You said you went to MEPS when you were 18. Did you go through the whole process initially? Did they have any information your second time through MEPS from your first process?
Did you have to do a security clearance interview/screening ?
Yes
So how does the ASVAB test work? Like for example, intel requires a minimum of 60 or 70 General score, but, did you just have to do good in The math and English part of the test? Like how do they come up with the score to get accepted into intelligence (using intel for example)
Did you go to the Kansas City MEPS? I am here and the girl here that swore everyone in looks exactly like the one that did for you!
Yes!
What if you can't touch your toes
Can I put security forces as my ten jobs.I really want security forces.😂😂
You'll get the job immediately, SF is a needed job.
The worst job.
question so do you have to do any physical fitness test to join the airforce or is that only in basic?
Only in basic
Did you do the push ups and sit ups, and the run at meps?
No, only at BMT
@15:51 but did she smile for the pic or not?
Can I join to the AirForce having surgery breast?
Did you submit your official transcripts to MEPS or did you just show them to a recruiter?
Your recruiter will need a copy to put in the folder that you’ll take with you to MEPS. I brought the original with me to MEPS as well.
Another question lol . So my fiance is the one going to meps. How will we know when to come see him swear In ? And can he go home after he swears in if he doesn't ship out just yet?
You may not know when to come see him swear in. He may or may not be able to let you know an exact time. I knew mine was going to be late in the day because I did my physical and ASVAB all in one day whereas others usually break that up into two days. Some MEPS locations will let you go to your phone at certain points and I heard some will not. I was able to go to my belongings any time I wanted through the process. Yes he can go home after he swears in.
His recruiter may want to see him after MEPS. Mine said to just go home because mine took so long and I went back the next morning.
I thought there wasnt a DEP in AF?
There is because I was in it lol
What kind of movements did they do with your knees?
Duck walk and you have to fall onto your knees, that’s all I can remember
Hi! Thank you so much for this informative video. It is very helpful. I have a quick question though. Did you sign your contract without knowing which job you would have? Is that the usual process? Or do you usually have all that figured out, that way you know the job you’re signing up for?
Hey thanks for watching! I signed my DEP contract at MEPS without knowing which job I would have. You do make a job list that day so you are guaranteed one of the jobs you selected on that list. A few weeks later, my recruiter said I booked operations intelligence (#5 on my list) with a Dec 11 ship date and I went in to sign the contract for that specific job and ship date. Hope that helped!
Brittany Willis, thank you so much! That was helpful. So if I’m understanding you correctly - feel free to correct me I’m wrong : ) So your MEPS contract is different and separate from your job contract?! The MEPS is your agreement to serve, join, and follow the rules of military?! While your job contract is your agreement to sign in and so that specific job?!
One other question. When the recruiter called and told you that you booked operations intelligence, do you know if you would have been able to decline and wait for another one of your options to come through?
Yes, exactly!
I do believe you can pass on the job they initially offer you, however, this can result in a longer wait time to ship to basic and honestly you agree to fulfill the needs of the Air Force so I think they expect you to accept the first job you book because it is listed on your sheet for a reason. But I guess ultimately when you are sworn into DEP you are under no obligation to accept a specific job.
That makes a lot of sense!! Thank you SO much!!! You were very helpful!
You’re welcome!!
Im shipping out November 27th for Air Force security forces.. always like hearing other people’s MEPS experiences, it’s not as bad as people say it is.
I agree, I think people make it sound a lot worse than it is. Good luck at basic!
what priority number did you put security forces as? I would like to get security forces but am nervous I will get a different job
Do you get the training on the job? You dont have to go to school?
Tech school is after basic where you learn your job
So how is everything after basic?

I can't keep my eyes from your beautiful face, your beautiful skin, and beautiful voice. 💗💗💗💗
Thank you for all of these videos you have made! I'm 17 turning 18 December 30th; I have been talking to my Airforce recruiter for about 2 months now. I was wondering what amount of time I should do either 4 or 6 years? I plan on going into the police academy after my service, but I'm not sure if I should do 4 or 6 years?
I would do 4
@@kimberlyxo2358 I actually just went to meps yesterday and did a 4 year active duty and 4 year reserve!
Jeffrey Leitch That sounds like a good plan so you’re not stuck in active all those years. And did you pick your mos??
Jeffrey Leitch and what did you score on the test
@@kimberlyxo2358 I scored 72 and my top three were security forces, Water & fuel systems maintenance, and HVAC
Any idea what a failing hearing test score is? My hearing is not very good.
I think they said numbers over 20-40 are not good
How do you end up in the delayed entry program?
Air Force Enlistment Process & MEPS Experience Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/DU3rECR9t2g/v-deo.html
How tall are you? If you don’t mind me asking
5’3
Lmfao dying at the deadlift part
Bahahaha
dO yOU evEn LifT bRuh?! 🤣
Do you know your job yet?
Who was your Recruiter out of KC?
She’s not a recruiter anymore unfortunately!
i hope they don’t have too much fun w my last name •-•
You even lift bro have the boys got her
So I'm going to meps tomorrow just for my physical and I will be swearing in to the delayed entry program. I was just wondering if there were multiple times for swearing in or would I be taking my oath earlier?
You swear in twice at MEPS. Once into the DEP and once when you ship out for basic
@@Brittanylynnlewis right sorry I didnt really phrase that correctly. Haha 😂 I meant at what times of the day does the swearing in take place or does everyone do it at the same time?
So... can you smile for the picture or not? Lol.
I did! Couldn’t help it lol
@@Brittanylynnlewis But are you technically not supposed to? I'm not sure how I'd be able to NOT smile after finally reaching the point of being sworn in. That's crazy.
They didn't tell me not to!
When you do the physical exam. Do you have to read a paragraph?
Yes
@@Brittanylynnlewis what is the paragraph about ?BTW I have been watching all your videos! 💕
It’s really weird and doesn’t make much sense. Lol it’s kind of random and they really just want to see your level of fluency and pronunciation I think.
Nice video, you entered service with a bachelor's college degree, could you not went straight into the officers program?
She could have, but I think to become an officer, is a longer wait than enlisting. Since she enlisted, she went in automatically as a E3. I think either or is good though :)
How does job selection work. I literally only want one job..fire protection. I know that it’s a high demand job..but I been studying FF since I forever I’m 23 now aha. After MEPS you can wait for your job you desire to open?
If you’re going active duty you’ll make a list of jobs that interest you and your recruiter will let you know which one you book. If you hold out for a specific job, no telling how long you’ll wait or if your recruiter will keep you in the delayed entry program. Best of luck!
Brittany Willis thank you! When do you decided to be in DEPS after you swear In?
Yes when you swear in you’re in the DEP!
So i go to meps next week. And i want to start bmt asap. They said u can go to bmt almost straight after meps? And is there a way you can check MOS availability? Im trying to get a mechanical or electrical job if not im just going to take whatever is there. Oh and one last thing sorry after your tests and you’ve selected your jobs do they already have contracts there for you?
Usually people wait 3-4 months to ship out to bmt. I waited 4. When you’re there you’ll list at least 10 jobs and you can choose mechanical and electrical as long as you qualify for those jobs on the asvab.
You don’t usually book a job there right away. Some people do. I waited two weeks for my job
awesome thanks for the response 🤙
So could you smile at the end? Haha
🥰
Were you allowed to smile? For the photo on ur contract
Yes
Brittany Willis that’s absolutely brilliant. I’m so glad! I hope you’re doing ok and have been well. Thank you for speaking from a woman’s perspective it’s really helpful. Currently studying and can’t wait to enlist. Also “older” 25 but would be 26 by the time I can enlist so you’re perspective and content and explanations are really valuable to me. I adore that you are excited. It’s sad or frustrating when you see folks sweat the small stuff I suppose. It’s refreshing that you don’t do this on camera (even tho we all people so I don’t doubt sometimes it’s hard) I think you do the USAF justice when you present online in a such a mature collected way and maybe perhaps are not using this as your venting space. I hope you are Covid free and your family is safe and healthy. Keep up the great work. Always rooting for yah.
how many jobs did you have to list? that you wanted
10 jobs and 2 aptitude areas
@@Brittanylynnlewis I've been in DEP for 3 weeks and my recruiter pushing me to open general. not really pushing me but he just casually sent a text message "congratulations! you just booked a job "9TG43" (googled it and its open general). I replied ASAP and told him I am not going in as an open general and told him I didnt put open general on my list. Still waiting for his reply. I guess we are just a number from our recruiters perspective.
@@Josh-wt5qm what job did you end up getting?
How tall are you?
5’3” why lol
@@Brittanylynnlewis I'm just wondering. I am planning to join the Air force but I'm kind of feeling intimidated because I AM SHORT. like I'm just on the minimum height requirement. Are there shorter people out there? Lol
i had to go to meps the other day and i have to get a waiver for my glasses 🙄🙄 i made a video about it too (:
I didn’t know you needed a waiver for that! Good luck with your process!
Pretty privilege
Um quick question, if we’re underage do we still have to do all the naked stuff lmfao
