  • In this video, I will be discussing what not to do at MEPS so you don't fail. If you're going for the Air Force, a lot of times when people go to MEPS, the little things are what gets them disqualified and causes them to fail. So I will be explaining 5 MEPS mistakes that will make your Air Force MEPS experience miserable if committed.
    If you're interested in starting your own RUclips channel and wanna know what gear I'm using to record, I have all the links below for everything.

    I went through the entire process at MEPS. Passed every test they gave me, just to end up disqualified over some unspecified asthma medication given to me more than 6 years ago. This is what happened to me during the last part, when the doctor sits down with you to discuss your medical record.

      The question is do you now, or have you ever had a history of or been diagnosed with “medical condition”.
      If you’ve been misdiagnosed with something, I don’t see any reason to worry about disclosing the condition. As long as you provide medical records, and the doctors written misdiagnosis, our doctors should be able to read through it and make the right decision.

    Hi there I have a quick question a year ago I went to an Air Force recruiter, but didn’t make it that far into the process we only did the initial questions / pre- screening to see if I qualified, however I felt like I wasn’t quite ready yet so I told him. Currently, I have been studying for the past 3 months and am now ready to join and go to MEPS, however I want to go to a new recruiter, will the new recruiter see that I tried to join a year ago? Thanks for your help :)

    • @Jodywithawhy
      @Jodywithawhy  2 года назад +2

      It depends. If the old recruiter did what they were supposed to do, they should have input you into a system and built a profile. If they built that profile, every recruiter would be able to see your profile. However if the original recruiter didn’t input you, then no one would ever know you worked with a previous recruiter.

    when i was a kid i got diagnosed with asthma but to this day I don't really use my inhaler or have any problems whatsoever to the point its been years since i've actually used an inhaler. last time i used one was when i was like 15-16 but now im 23 years old interested in joining but im scared if they see it on my records.

      This video will help you understand how to get asthma approved. ruclips.net/video/ynKjsxegEPE/видео.html I never recommend lie. If it was that long ago, you’ll take your pulmonary function test, and depending on those results, that will determine if you can join or not. Nothing is ever guaranteed with asthma, but at least you’ll feel better knowing you tried the right vs lying. I hope this helps.
