I had some anxiety and mood problems, but I got cleared up and took a psyc eval saying I’m completely fine… still got denied. I really want genesis to completely go away and I want to be able to actually pass a waiver…Childhood dreams of joining the military are gone.
Go through counseling for 1-2yrs and get an all clear memo. They reapply for a medical waiver. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Damn :( I’m had a depressive episode when I was young and made a stupid mistake. Since been years and I’m going through the process to get it medically cleared. Hoping I’m not shut down because of it but I’m not gonna get my hopes up. Recruitment numbers are down the drain and they still find a way to shut down the people who actually want to serve.
Close guess to what EHR stands for. EHR = Electronic Health Record. The civilian equivalent is usually called "MyChart" or something similar to that, but the function is essentially the same: keeping medical records online as a one-stop shop and (most likely) moving things such as pharmacy/vision prescriptions to an online format and moving more towards paperless processes.
I just went through MEPS using the MHS Genesis system and they grilled me on two separate hospital visits (I never went to the hospital during those dates), the doctor grilled me hard on them and I told him straight up I had no idea what they were for, supervisor comes in and says “it’s probably just the hospital updating shot records”… system sucks
Could you do a video on covering what needs a waver and what does not, I along with probably hundreds of people who just watched this are very curious. Thanks!
This is unworkable with the current generation. Pretty much all of them I know of have been medicated for this that and the other thing their whole lives. If possible could you put out a video as soon as the Army decides to table this madness? I got two kids that want to join but I am not going to have them get intruded upon by the government they would be swearing to serve to this level. Once the government wants to act like the America I protected and defended as a veteran, instead of like the Chinese surveillance state, I will bring them in immediately. This is ridiculous. Hopefully I will get an update that this goes away. I am just going to have them do the college thing, even though they were both hoping to go into the military first. Thank you for all the information you provide.
Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Thank for your service and I appreciate what you’ve done for us all🙏🏼🇺🇸 I’ll update as new updates are provided!
I hope the military decides to table this madness this Genesis program is causing madness in all five branches of the military. You know it’s extremely bad when the Air Force is not making mission.
@@anthonyrodriguez4122 Haha Facts! But it saves entirely too much money in unauthorized VA Claims post enlistment for pre-existing illnesses and injuries.
@@TEAMSWARTZ Even if it does, now is just not the time. The global S@&t show that is unfolding is way to volatile to be playing with this kind of garbage. We all know what happens if Europe ends up with an expanded land war and Ukraine is losing ground. On top of that the Chinese banks are collapsing, they are about to have severe difficulty with food and energy probably in a matter of months. These things lead to internal unrest, historically the way these types of governments deal with internal unrest is to make a boogie man to blame that is not them and start a war. Thats how these things play out time and time again. Now is not the time.
Is there a way we can look at our own MHS records as civilian? Thanks for the informative video! __________________________________________________________________ MHS Genesis: "Maintain the end goal numbers, but perfect people only." WWIII lurking in the distance: "Hahahahaha- hahahaah"

I was watching this video as I’m waiting to hear back from MEPs. {Long story short, I ended up discharged from the Marine Corps prior to finishing training; due to a calcaneal stress fracture 30% across the bone (heel bone). It has been 7 years since occurring.} And around 15:00 minutes into the video “US Army Sgt (redacted)” is calling me. I’m sweating bullets: Me: “Good morning, do we have good news?” Him: “Genesis results came back….” Me: “Yes sir?” Him: “They just need the clearance letter pertaining to your injury, we already submitted it. Should hear back by the end of this week.” I haven’t been this happy or excited, in a really long time. As I’ve been in this process for nearly 2 years now. 🤘🏼 Advice I can give: If you’re prior service, please be patient. Also, if this is something you truly want; never give up trying. I’m 27 now, not the end of my journey. 😁
My son had an IEP from grade school to High School for a learning disability. That was 4 years ago. He is really smart but does struggle with math which is spelled out clearly in his IEP. He has made great strides in the last 4 years and does great at his job. He is trying to join the Navy. The recruiter asked for his IEP records and medical records. He recently sent them in. We are waiting to hear what MEPS has to say before he is allowed to go. What are his chances? He has wanted to join the military from an early age.
I’d say, if they can pass both the ASVAB and Medical Exam, they’re in a position to receive a favorable decision on their medical waiver. From my understanding, I’ve seen a couple get disqualified for this but I personally don’t have experience with this. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and please keep me posted!
I was advised to dismiss him from IEP and get a letter stating he does not receive ESE services. The school system did that and he was cleared for MEPS.
Thank you so much and where did you find this? I don't know if I will see your response but you could email me teamswartzmedia@gmail.com or DM on instagram @TeamSwartz Thank you!
I work with MHS Genesis with basic trainees in the air force, and i can guarantee MHS Genesis is absolute trash. It has made our life a living hell and it has completely bottlenecked everything. We've needed double the staff and our guys have been working 12s five days a week (sometimes weekends). Before MHS Genesis, it took 30 minutes to work through 2 flights (or platoons), now it takes 2--5 hours depending on which week they are in
As with anything new, I'm sure it's a bit of a learning curve but in the long run I am sure this will speed up the process and make things less complicated. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

@Anthony Kight Genesis won't be around very long if none of the branches can make it's recruiting goals. Funny how they start doing this shit at the outbreak of a potential WW3. Either way Genesis is an absolute disaster
Yeah buddy. Embrace the suck and consider this character development… lol Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
And we thought MROAD was bad. They already have problems with recruiting. To me its a mix of the American population and the DoD's standards that can be unrealistic at times. I get it that they need some form of standards, however when you start havinng bullshit standards and disqualifying people over stupid things that really don't matter which does a big hit to recruiting and then you do MROAD and then Genesis that's just gonna hurt recruitment even more, and tbh I can't wait to see when this blows up in the face of the DoD.
We have never been an equal opportunity Employer and we have always had a set procurement standard all applicants must meet to join. This just holds applicants and recruiters accountable and saves tax payers and the government lots of money for unauthorized VA Disability claims for pre-existing conditions they withheld at time of enlistment. Other agencies have been using this for years and note the military. THAnk you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
It certainly is. Thank for your service and I appreciate what you’ve done for us all🙏🏼🇺🇸 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
My recruiter said that meps wants to schedule a psych evaluation but he has no control of that process.. would you know about the time frame or does it depend on meps? Fort Jackson.. This is all because they saw back in 2019 that I had gone to a family doctor about quitting smoking, and concern about weight loss and then noticed anxiety.. I was prescribed wellbutrin but never filled it.. This has been a long process.. Especially being on the verge of A-war I did not expect it to be this hard to enlist in the army full time.
Anxiety is the main issue. Get reevaluated for mental health and obtain an all clear and healthy memo. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Recruiters have no say so for Psych Evans but if you can get a memo outside of meps medical procedures to coincide with you being healthy greatly increases a more favorable outcome. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Recruiter told me they found some records they have to see if it will be a problem, said this around May 20th. It’s been awhile, but we’ve been in contact and he says he is still waiting.
I wonder if MEPS is actually going to stick to their deadlines. The one in Springfield MA never does. Also the only ever navy Boot Camp is in great lakes Chicago and not California ( just wanted to rectify). Anyway amazing video as always thank you for everything Sergeant.
I’m 33 trying to join the Army and Ranger regiment. I was prescribed a sleep med for insomnia 4 years ago, not knowing it was also an anti depressant (Trazodone). Had an adverse reaction to it (actually made me depressed) had my doctor from that time send a letter that it was resolved and a non issue and that apparently wasn’t good enough. They also need a letter of verification saying I didn’t have an IEP in high school (IEP didn’t exist 16 years ago) due to an ADHD diagnosis that was recent but resolved. It’s no wonder why recruiters are having a hard time finding recruits. All I want to do is serve and challenge myself but idiotic government red tape is keeping good people out. Any advice on how I can improve my chances of enlisting? It seems like even my own doctors can’t seem to get thru to MEPS.
US ARMY MEPS MEDICAL WAIVER GUIDE & BEST TIPS | WHAT IS THE US ARMY MEDICAL WAIVER PROCESS? ruclips.net/video/P02k-kCmTio/видео.html You’ll also need a copy of your IEP/504 plan, and I’d get character reference letters from a high school teacher, college professor and a supervisor from work to help with the total applicant concept that you’re a good worker and that you perform like a normal person. As in you don’t need any assistance or special help in completing your work or job, etc… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck on your waiver and may the waiver gods forever be in your favor!
Here’s my prediction…on the MEPS side; it’s going to have to make MEPCOM take a hard look on the conditions they consider “unwaiverable” because I think ultimately they want to stop 2 things. 1) the really high rate of recruits getting medsepped at BCT (voluntary&involuntary) 2) the amount the govt has to “pay out” for VA disability connection down the road. I think it’s gonna have its initial run but like anything first generation, it’s gonna hit its walls. Those walls are gonna provide insight because there is no feasible way that SO many applicants can be DQd but also simultaneously DOD can keep branches manned. Something’s gonna give. Idk what it will be but its gonna be something. I think personally it could be the amount of waivers granted. A lot of us got medical decisions made for us (especially Mental Health) when we were just kids. I was a child of the 90’s when any 8 year old who was bored got a Ritalin script, and boom, little Johnny Snotnose has ADHD. (This was also true with many other conditions in my experience) Now Johnny is grown up and matured and no longer shows those symptoms and is by all means, fit to serve. Does this mean the decisions his parents made 10+ years ago should determine the fate of his military future? That’s something MEPS is gonna have to face in the coming months… (Im only speaking from working for the state/county/fed government over my career and my MIL working for the VA right now.) I think if you’re worried about your history; TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER. 99/100 they are on your side. Some of you, the best bet may be holding back on your journey to MEPS until they get the feedback from this program. Some who want to join might want to start the process of contacting hospitals, Drs., insurance companies, pharmacies, shamans, etc and build your medical records so you waste as little time as possible. In my experience; where their is a good will there is a possible waiver. Don’t close the door on yourself completely and DQ your own future before you’ve even had a chance: that’s MEPS job. Make them tell you “No”. Living through rejection is much better than living with regret. If you made it here, thank you for humoring me. In the end, im just some random dude on the internet, so my comment is just about worth it’s weight in pigeon sh*t. Given I don’t have a crystal ball or a psychic friends network, my opinions could be as useless as teats on a boar. Feel free to disregard. Thank you SGT Swartz for the video. You are and remain the GOAT 🐐 for keeping us informed. May the MEPS gods take mercy upon us all lol.
@Anthony Kight you’re absolutely right Anthony. Waivers at MEPS has historically been a long hike through hell for any applicant. My hope is this will come to really bite them in the ass and either make waivers WAAAY more accessible or scrap this stupid shit altogether. I get that they’re trying to sort out the issue of “dishonest applicants” but this is not the way to fix that. Maybe if MEPS wasn’t such a slow shitty institution that’s known for playing power games with the people they’re processing, more people would disclose things from the jump. By making the waiver process so arduous and pedantic, many great applicants get pushed out because they can’t afford it wait around for years only to get told to keep going back for “more medical records”. Either way I don’t see this ending well for MEPS and DOD. Me personally, I’ll be excited to see this crap-grenade blow up in their face…
I don’t think I’m the GOAT but I do appreciate your long winded response and I found it helpful to those processing. This is going to be interesting to see how this plays out for sure. THAnk you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@petejones4090 I agree with everything you said 100%. Genesis pretty much eliminates 80-90% of the potential applicant pool. When Mroads rolled out all branches felt the effects and recruiting suffered the most. Now Genesis is going to create a catastrophic shit storm for recruiting and none of the branches will meet their recruiting goals. Hopefully in a couple of months the DOD might come to their senses and suspend Genesis the same way they did with MROAD. Either way if you want to enlist either play the waiting game or opt out of the Health Information Exchange.
Took mushrooms at a party by accident and it ended in a bad trip with a hospital visit and A voluntarily in patient psych care for 3 days (no 51/50) Pretty sure the psych ward has records of me saying I was on mushrooms for the incident and was not in normal state of mind , the er doctors got me for “suicidal ideation” no marks or mutilation , and they didn’t put down that I said I was on a psychedelic . . So it makes me look worse for recruitment . This happened 6 months ago. They gave me 1 pill at psych ward and canceled my prescription before I was let out . Was a crazy experience .. should I amend my medical records and put I accidentally injested mushrooms or try to enlist and then change it after “waiver” Honestly I’m skeptical they won’t let me in if I disclose any of this and I should change what I can first before I disclose . Suggestions ?
If you can prove it was accidental consumption which resulted in that experience you should be fine with a possible waiver request. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

Hey, I just stumbled onto your channel and I’m definitely subscribing! I have some doubts: I believe was misdiagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid. I was prescribed medication. (Stopped taking them soon after), then when I got myself together in High School I began to ace all my classes and perform perfectly in my daily life with 0 symptoms. I think I was just nervous and immature. Now, I’m going to see a different doctor (Last one specialized in Children’s ADHD) who specializes in adult ADHD to try and get him to state that this was a misdiagnosis, and that I’m clear. I’m 21 and haven’t taken any medication in years. Do you think a new medical work up stating I don’t have ADHD and the new doctor’s written clarification will be enough to give me a good chance to pass at MEPS?
If you’ve stopped, been off meds for at least 24mo and able to obtain that memo or at the very least signs and symptom free for over 24mo and stable… eligible for a waiver and expect s favorable outcome. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Update for everyone I’m getting ready to go to meps for my second physical but anyone’s I believe in mhs genises is the same thing that people who are under military medical can sign into and see all of our record prescriptions in appointments. If that’s the case I can say they can see everything. For me my record went all the way back to 2005 when I was diagnosed with adhd I’m pretty sure I’m fucked but my recruiter says she can get me in. I made shit grades in high school so let’s see
Hey Drill Sgt I got a question I’m currently in the guard as a pfc but graduated ait in July but I keep getting called up to do extra duty my question is is the extra duty a good thing and will it help me get e4 quicker and do they normally ask new guard members to do extra duty days
Reaching E4 simply takes time in grade no? I don't recall doing anything that sped up the process from going E1-E4 aside from staying in. Doing extra duty and all will more than likely save you a slot if your unit is giving out promotions though.
So short answer, No. it’s not required or a direct reason to promote faster above peers. Now, it wouldn’t hurt to be viewed as reliable, dependable and available you know? But not at all required unless you’re ordered. If they’re asking you to volunteer, it’s volunteer and then not mandatory. Whether you’re volunteering or not, doing the implied tasks and doing them well will set yourself apart from the rest of the competition. Like showing up early or on time, volunteering for tasks during drills, AT & so on, clean, crispy and ironed uniform, otherwise going above and beyond within your MOS and usual unit level work. That may increase your potential to be granted a waiver and advanced sooner than the minimum required time n grade and time in service. Best wishes and hope this helps!
Hello, I have some questions about this. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around 7 and took medication for it and then completely stopped taking the medication when I was 11.

I have a question Im hoping youre able to answer.... So my husband is in the process of trying to re-enlist after 11 years. He's prior AF but going Army this time around. Well we got all the paperwork turned into his recruiter and he's supposed to be running the Genesis stuff. My husband was put on adderall as a trial thing for the job we work, but they said it wasnt necessary for him and took him off. So he'd only taken it for maybe 5 months. The recruiter doesn't think it'll even show up on Genesis, however everything Ive seen about it says it will. Will it DQ him or will he be able to get a waiver. Thank you!
MHS GENESIS UPDATE: ruclips.net/video/n1lMGK6FLY0/видео.html 👆🏽Is the update to the video you just commented beneath but just expect MEPS to see it. As long as 6-12mo or longer has passed and can obtain good all clear letter from a behavioral health/mental health specialist you should be fine based on what you shared but it’s ultimately up to timing, unique details, records and updated documentation.

Okay so I went to the portal and logged in with my dS login and I have no record. However I was realeased on a 5-17 for anxiety and PTSD but have not been seen or had any medical care for over 5 years. I have been seen by the va and will be honest but will it block me
The MEPS CMO will determine what’s what and I’d expect a recommendation for a medical waiver. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯
Will one panic attack that occurred 3 years ago and is noted in my adolescent medical record require a waiver? I was never prescribed hard pharmaceuticals (my doctor recommended I take melatonin) nor made to attend/attended any form of therapy for this as it wasn't necessary. I have been fine ever since with no symptoms of anxiety and no treatment of any kind. Would it be best to still put this in my paperwork for MEPS?
Should be fine but obtain a medical evaluation with an all clear memo to address that issue. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯
We can identify if a waiver would be required after getting to know and prequalifying an applicant. If approved to conduct a medical exam, a waiver cannot be determined or submitted until after the medical exam and any or all medical consultations have been completed.

So i heard even if you did your physical and everything and you go back after being disqualified genisis can still see your records!. So if they see i was in a mental hospital would i get disqualified? I only got disqualified for eczema now im tryna go back. But i never mentioned the mental hospital
If you go in sick call and especially for any type of behavioral health or mental health issues, they will dig into Genesis for pre-existing illnesses or injuries.

@@mariaft7985 well usually a health record is everything from patient history, recovery, diagnosis, treatments and so on. If you ever went into a ER for example at work when a pt comes in we chart their Chief complaint meaning why did they come. If you come in for drug use or an OD we chart it. We ask you if you have a history or do you use drugs we need to know due to medication we may issue upon arrival. So therefore anything you ever stated will be on your medical report. Now in health care we chart it so we know about future conditions you may have.. unfortunately you are signing your rights to HIPPA away when enlisting. Therefore you are basically letting the medical team at MEPS see everything!!! So just don’t lie.. not saying that you are planning too, just saying that they will be able to se wit all:/
Genesis is only pulling medical history that is apart of the Health Information Exchange. However most people don't know that they can opt out of a HIE to prevent their records from being shared.
Stay tuned for an update video to my MHS GENESIS video next week! I’m tuning into a call with a Policy Advisor with MEPS tomorrow that’ll clear up questions we all have and to clear up some educated thoughts on my interpretation on the documents I received prior to this video!

I went to meps for my physical the day it was suspended luckily because I wouldn’t have passed probably without tons of paper work.

Hi, first of all love your videos. They are so helpful so thank you for making them. I’m currently 17 and planning on trying to join the National Guard when I turn eighteen and graduate from High School. My freshman year of high school I was diagnosed with 3 anxiety disorders: social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. I was on medication for a few months. Not anymore and and a lot better with my anxiety. Would I be turned away because of my past metal health though?
Those are pretty substantial behavioral health conditions that MEPS will def be disqualifying you for. You’ll be needing to be off Med’s for at least 24 months before they will even allow you to possibly complete the medical exam. MEPS is going to need you to obtain and all clear letter for all three of these issues and an updated evaluation/tests… Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

So sorry bro praying for you .
Yes what team Swartz said or maybe try another branch some have different doctors
And they wonder why they have a hard time recruiting... 🤡
Damn :( I’m had a depressive episode when I was young and made a stupid mistake. Since been years and I’m going through the process to get it medically cleared. Hoping I’m not shut down because of it but I’m not gonna get my hopes up. Recruitment numbers are down the drain and they still find a way to shut down the people who actually want to serve.
Close guess to what EHR stands for. EHR = Electronic Health Record. The civilian equivalent is usually called "MyChart" or something similar to that, but the function is essentially the same: keeping medical records online as a one-stop shop and (most likely) moving things such as pharmacy/vision prescriptions to an online format and moving more towards paperless processes.
I should have figured that out lol. Thanks for clarifying!
Question if you can get back to me If you don’t have anything on mychart will there be anything on MSH Genesis.?
I just went through MEPS using the MHS Genesis system and they grilled me on two separate hospital visits (I never went to the hospital during those dates), the doctor grilled me hard on them and I told him straight up I had no idea what they were for, supervisor comes in and says “it’s probably just the hospital updating shot records”… system sucks
We all hate it… Good luck!!! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

was just about to ask the same thing
This is unworkable with the current generation. Pretty much all of them I know of have been medicated for this that and the other thing their whole lives. If possible could you put out a video as soon as the Army decides to table this madness? I got two kids that want to join but I am not going to have them get intruded upon by the government they would be swearing to serve to this level. Once the government wants to act like the America I protected and defended as a veteran, instead of like the Chinese surveillance state, I will bring them in immediately. This is ridiculous. Hopefully I will get an update that this goes away. I am just going to have them do the college thing, even though they were both hoping to go into the military first. Thank you for all the information you provide.

@@TEAMSWARTZ Even if it does, now is just not the time. The global S@&t show that is unfolding is way to volatile to be playing with this kind of garbage. We all know what happens if Europe ends up with an expanded land war and Ukraine is losing ground. On top of that the Chinese banks are collapsing, they are about to have severe difficulty with food and energy probably in a matter of months. These things lead to internal unrest, historically the way these types of governments deal with internal unrest is to make a boogie man to blame that is not them and start a war. Thats how these things play out time and time again. Now is not the time.

I was watching this video as I’m waiting to hear back from MEPs. {Long story short, I ended up discharged from the Marine Corps prior to finishing training; due to a calcaneal stress fracture 30% across the bone (heel bone). It has been 7 years since occurring.} And around 15:00 minutes into the video “US Army Sgt (redacted)” is calling me. I’m sweating bullets:
Me: “Good morning, do we have good news?”
Him: “Genesis results came back….”
Me: “Yes sir?”
Him: “They just need the clearance letter pertaining to your injury, we already submitted it. Should hear back by the end of this week.”

@@emmanuelnocum6048 I’m not sure of your circumstances, so my situation may be completely different than yours.
My son had an IEP from grade school to High School for a learning disability. That was 4 years ago. He is really smart but does struggle with math which is spelled out clearly in his IEP. He has made great strides in the last 4 years and does great at his job. He is trying to join the Navy. The recruiter asked for his IEP records and medical records. He recently sent them in. We are waiting to hear what MEPS has to say before he is allowed to go. What are his chances? He has wanted to join the military from an early age.
I’d say, if they can pass both the ASVAB and Medical Exam, they’re in a position to receive a favorable decision on their medical waiver. From my understanding, I’ve seen a couple get disqualified for this but I personally don’t have experience with this. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and please keep me posted!
I was advised to dismiss him from IEP and get a letter stating he does not receive ESE services. The school system did that and he was cleared for MEPS.

I work with MHS Genesis with basic trainees in the air force, and i can guarantee MHS Genesis is absolute trash. It has made our life a living hell and it has completely bottlenecked everything. We've needed double the staff and our guys have been working 12s five days a week (sometimes weekends). Before MHS Genesis, it took 30 minutes to work through 2 flights (or platoons), now it takes 2--5 hours depending on which week they are in
As with anything new, I'm sure it's a bit of a learning curve but in the long run I am sure this will speed up the process and make things less complicated. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

And we thought MROAD was bad. They already have problems with recruiting. To me its a mix of the American population and the DoD's standards that can be unrealistic at times. I get it that they need some form of standards, however when you start havinng bullshit standards and disqualifying people over stupid things that really don't matter which does a big hit to recruiting and then you do MROAD and then Genesis that's just gonna hurt recruitment even more, and tbh I can't wait to see when this blows up in the face of the DoD.

Just when I thought the military couldn't be more ableist, this happens.
We have never been an equal opportunity Employer and we have always had a set procurement standard all applicants must meet to join.

My recruiter said that meps wants to schedule a psych evaluation but he has no control of that process.. would you know about the time frame or does it depend on meps? Fort Jackson.. This is all because they saw back in 2019 that I had gone to a family doctor about quitting smoking, and concern about weight loss and then noticed anxiety.. I was prescribed wellbutrin but never filled it.. This has been a long process.. Especially being on the verge of A-war I did not expect it to be this hard to enlist in the army full time.
Anxiety is the main issue. Get reevaluated for mental health and obtain an all clear and healthy memo. Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Recruiters have no say so for Psych Evans but if you can get a memo outside of meps medical procedures to coincide with you being healthy greatly increases a more favorable outcome.
Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Recruiter told me they found some records they have to see if it will be a problem, said this around May 20th. It’s been awhile, but we’ve been in contact and he says he is still waiting.

I’m 33 trying to join the Army and Ranger regiment. I was prescribed a sleep med for insomnia 4 years ago, not knowing it was also an anti depressant (Trazodone). Had an adverse reaction to it (actually made me depressed) had my doctor from that time send a letter that it was resolved and a non issue and that apparently wasn’t good enough. They also need a letter of verification saying I didn’t have an IEP in high school (IEP didn’t exist 16 years ago) due to an ADHD diagnosis that was recent but resolved. It’s no wonder why recruiters are having a hard time finding recruits. All I want to do is serve and challenge myself but idiotic government red tape is keeping good people out. Any advice on how I can improve my chances of enlisting? It seems like even my own doctors can’t seem to get thru to MEPS.

hey i was prescribed trazodone in 2019 for sleeping and depression. its been since 2019 that i i havnt taken any meds will i be ok?
and in 2012 and 2017 i went to the hospital for depression
damn bro hopefully i get in
The RRB is already having a hard enough time and now this just made things 100% worse
Facts lol
Here’s my prediction…on the MEPS side; it’s going to have to make MEPCOM take a hard look on the conditions they consider “unwaiverable” because I think ultimately they want to stop 2 things.
1) the really high rate of recruits getting medsepped at BCT (voluntary&involuntary)
2) the amount the govt has to “pay out” for VA disability connection down the road.
I think it’s gonna have its initial run but like anything first generation, it’s gonna hit its walls. Those walls are gonna provide insight because there is no feasible way that SO many applicants can be DQd but also simultaneously DOD can keep branches manned.
Something’s gonna give.
Idk what it will be but its gonna be something.
I think personally it could be the amount of waivers granted. A lot of us got medical decisions made for us (especially Mental Health) when we were just kids. I was a child of the 90’s when any 8 year old who was bored got a Ritalin script, and boom, little Johnny Snotnose has ADHD. (This was also true with many other conditions in my experience)
Now Johnny is grown up and matured and no longer shows those symptoms and is by all means, fit to serve. Does this mean the decisions his parents made 10+ years ago should determine the fate of his military future? That’s something MEPS is gonna have to face in the coming months…
(Im only speaking from working for the state/county/fed government over my career and my MIL working for the VA right now.)
I think if you’re worried about your history; TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER. 99/100 they are on your side.
Some of you, the best bet may be holding back on your journey to MEPS until they get the feedback from this program.
Some who want to join might want to start the process of contacting hospitals, Drs., insurance companies, pharmacies, shamans, etc and build your medical records so you waste as little time as possible.
In my experience; where their is a good will there is a possible waiver. Don’t close the door on yourself completely and DQ your own future before you’ve even had a chance: that’s MEPS job.
Make them tell you “No”.
Living through rejection is much better than living with regret.
If you made it here, thank you for humoring me.
In the end, im just some random dude on the internet, so my comment is just about worth it’s weight in pigeon sh*t. Given I don’t have a crystal ball or a psychic friends network, my opinions could be as useless as teats on a boar. Feel free to disregard.
Thank you SGT Swartz for the video. You are and remain the GOAT 🐐 for keeping us informed.
May the MEPS gods take mercy upon us all lol.
@Anthony Kight you’re absolutely right Anthony. Waivers at MEPS has historically been a long hike through hell for any applicant.
My hope is this will come to really bite them in the ass and either make waivers WAAAY more accessible or scrap this stupid shit altogether.
I get that they’re trying to sort out the issue of “dishonest applicants” but this is not the way to fix that.
Maybe if MEPS wasn’t such a slow shitty institution that’s known for playing power games with the people they’re processing, more people would disclose things from the jump.
By making the waiver process so arduous and pedantic, many great applicants get pushed out because they can’t afford it wait around for years only to get told to keep going back for “more medical records”.
Either way I don’t see this ending well for MEPS and DOD. Me personally, I’ll be excited to see this crap-grenade blow up in their face…
I don’t think I’m the GOAT but I do appreciate your long winded response and I found it helpful to those processing. This is going to be interesting to see how this plays out for sure. THAnk you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@petejones4090 I agree with everything you said 100%. Genesis pretty much eliminates 80-90% of the potential applicant pool. When Mroads rolled out all branches felt the effects and recruiting suffered the most. Now Genesis is going to create a catastrophic shit storm for recruiting and none of the branches will meet their recruiting goals. Hopefully in a couple of months the DOD might come to their senses and suspend Genesis the same way they did with MROAD. Either way if you want to enlist either play the waiting game or opt out of the Health Information Exchange.
@@Komodokhan148 How do you opt out ?
Took mushrooms at a party by accident and it ended in a bad trip with a hospital visit and A voluntarily in patient psych care for 3 days (no 51/50)
Pretty sure the psych ward has records of me saying I was on mushrooms for the incident and was not in normal state of mind , the er doctors got me for “suicidal ideation” no marks or mutilation , and they didn’t put down that I said I was on a psychedelic . . So it makes me look worse for recruitment . This happened 6 months ago. They gave me 1 pill at psych ward and canceled my prescription before I was let out .
Was a crazy experience .. should I amend my medical records and put I accidentally injested mushrooms or try to enlist and then change it after “waiver”
Honestly I’m skeptical they won’t let me in if I disclose any of this and I should change what I can first before I disclose .
Suggestions ?
If you can prove it was accidental consumption which resulted in that experience you should be fine with a possible waiver request. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯

My medical record has illegal substance use (one time) when I was a teen a couple years ago. What should I tell my recruiter? I have not touched a single drug since then, am I already disqualified?

I was diagnosed with ADHD in foster care when I was 7. So I was in custody of the state of ohio. 20 years later, Ive never had a IEP or taken any medication for it ever in my life.
My recruiter told me to put no for the question.
Will this be an issue?
I scored over 100 in every section of the PICAT test.
I’m assuming it’ll pop with MHS Genesis and if you haven’t had ADHD issues or medication 3+ years you’ll qualify for a medical waiver…

Hey, I just stumbled onto your channel and I’m definitely subscribing!
I have some doubts: I believe was misdiagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid.
I was prescribed medication. (Stopped taking them soon after), then when I got myself together in High School I began to ace all my classes and perform perfectly in my daily life with 0 symptoms. I think I was just nervous and immature.
Now, I’m going to see a different doctor (Last one specialized in Children’s ADHD) who specializes in adult ADHD to try and get him to state that this was a misdiagnosis, and that I’m clear. I’m 21 and haven’t taken any medication in years.
Do you think a new medical work up stating I don’t have ADHD and the new doctor’s written clarification will be enough to give me a good chance to pass at MEPS?
If you’ve stopped, been off meds for at least 24mo and able to obtain that memo or at the very least signs and symptom free for over 24mo and stable… eligible for a waiver and expect s favorable outcome. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
How did it go bro?
Update for everyone I’m getting ready to go to meps for my second physical but anyone’s I believe in mhs genises is the same thing that people who are under military medical can sign into and see all of our record prescriptions in appointments. If that’s the case I can say they can see everything. For me my record went all the way back to 2005 when I was diagnosed with adhd I’m pretty sure I’m fucked but my recruiter says she can get me in. I made shit grades in high school so let’s see

Hey Drill Sgt I got a question I’m currently in the guard as a pfc but graduated ait in July but I keep getting called up to do extra duty my question is is the extra duty a good thing and will it help me get e4 quicker and do they normally ask new guard members to do extra duty days
Reaching E4 simply takes time in grade no? I don't recall doing anything that sped up the process from going E1-E4 aside from staying in. Doing extra duty and all will more than likely save you a slot if your unit is giving out promotions though.
So short answer, No. it’s not required or a direct reason to promote faster above peers. Now, it wouldn’t hurt to be viewed as reliable, dependable and available you know? But not at all required unless you’re ordered. If they’re asking you to volunteer, it’s volunteer and then not mandatory. Whether you’re volunteering or not, doing the implied tasks and doing them well will set yourself apart from the rest of the competition. Like showing up early or on time, volunteering for tasks during drills, AT & so on, clean, crispy and ironed uniform, otherwise going above and beyond within your MOS and usual unit level work. That may increase your potential to be granted a waiver and advanced sooner than the minimum required time n grade and time in service. Best wishes and hope this helps!
Hello, I have some questions about this. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around 7 and took medication for it and then completely stopped taking the medication when I was 11.

What’s all included in that? Drug use?
@@mariaft7985 well usually a health record is everything from patient history, recovery, diagnosis, treatments and so on. If you ever went into a ER for example at work when a pt comes in we chart their Chief complaint meaning why did they come. If you come in for drug use or an OD we chart it. We ask you if you have a history or do you use drugs we need to know due to medication we may issue upon arrival. So therefore anything you ever stated will be on your medical report. Now in health care we chart it so we know about future conditions you may have.. unfortunately you are signing your rights to HIPPA away when enlisting. Therefore you are basically letting the medical team at MEPS see everything!!! So just don’t lie.. not saying that you are planning too, just saying that they will be able to se wit all:/

I had a MMJ medical card and then went through MEPS when MROADS was suspended, I didn't disclose that and I have Reception from the 15th to the 20th and I have to go to basic on the 21st, this is at Fort Sill which is apparently opening MHS Genesis on the 19th, do you think I will be done with the medical stuff by the 19th or I might have to reprocess for somethings.
That’ll pop for sure if it’s prescribed and participating in HIE/EPIC… 😞
Where did you hear genesis is coming to ft sill from?
@@NewbornOnyx Some article i found online, it said MHS Genesis will launch at Fort Sill on March 19th
@@TEAMSWARTZ well crap
@@ohhah9003 could you link it if you still know where it’s from?
So just curious how many years is genesis gonna go back
As far back as things were uploaded. If it was uploaded, it’ll be visible. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I got DQd by stuff over 7 years old
@@user-dd1bb4tw4r I'm sorry my guy genesis SUCKS
Hi, first of all love your videos. They are so helpful so thank you for making them. I’m currently 17 and planning on trying to join the National Guard when I turn eighteen and graduate from High School. My freshman year of high school I was diagnosed with 3 anxiety disorders: social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. I was on medication for a few months. Not anymore and and a lot better with my anxiety. Would I be turned away because of my past metal health though?
Those are pretty substantial behavioral health conditions that MEPS will def be disqualifying you for. You’ll be needing to be off Med’s for at least 24 months before they will even allow you to possibly complete the medical exam. MEPS is going to need you to obtain and all clear letter for all three of these issues and an updated evaluation/tests…
Good Luck in MEPS and may the MEPS Gods forever, be in your favor! 💯 Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
So, I passed my physical at meps last November but got delayed because of number of my minor dependents . I was told my physical would be good for 2 years, im near the end of my dependent situation and hope to return to meps early next month to swear in . Will this genesis cause any issues for me ?

As long as no more medical tasks need to be completed, you’re good to go. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
So I was watching your video, I have a question: what medical records are they looking at? Are they looking at X-rays, blood test, surgeries etc?
Anything that would preclude you from service… Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ Thank you for clarifying. I hope you have a great week!
question i fractured my toe back in jan, but got clearance from docs and a paper saying i was fully able to go on like normal. should i disclose it at meps?

Does the military know that I poop when I pee?
They about to lmaoooo
Lmfaoooooo
What about people that already went through MEPS? Will Genesis effect people at BCT?
Apparently it’s coming to reception, so most likely yea. Wich sucks.
Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@atv8997 thanks bro, I think I glazed over that
@@TEAMSWARTZ When will Genesis launch at MCRD Parris Island?
Its been 3weeks and i still havent heard anything from my recruiter about Genesis. Whats the hold up?
Patience lol… it could take up to 10 days (business days not including weekends) to review or longer depending on your extensive medical file. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
So I got adhd but it says canadets who haven’t taken there medicine in 4 years don’t need a waiver. Does that mean they can just look at my medicine and see I haven’t received any meds since 2018 and I’m good?
I’d say that if you’ve been stable, signs and symptoms free for 4yrs you’d get a favorable decision on your medical waiver if required.
So when is MHS supposed to hit reception?
It wasn’t clear but I’ll assuming based on the information I found and read, 10 March got Benning and Jackson.
My healthcare provider and pharmacy doesn't show up on the JLV and HIE partnered providers list. Am I in the clear?
Based on what I read it’s possible. It’s all new and we’re all waiting to see how this plays out and for how long. MROAD lasted 2.5 months…
@@TEAMSWARTZ Is MHS GENESIS only able to view Tricare or Tricare dependent records or civilian as well?
@@grill.daddy_3433 All PS Records, VA Records and all civilian recruits as described within this video. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
@@TEAMSWARTZ My pharmacy and all that wasn't listed with HIE partners, so I don't know if my history will show up or not at MCRD. I like being grandfathered in, but it sucks that I don't know that vital piece of information.
@@grill.daddy_3433 Well, by regulatory guidance I have to inform you to list it but if you hide it and it comes up, you’ll be required to deal with it from there. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
No….cause im actually gonna start crying. This means so much to me and now I probably can’t join cause every teenager literally goes through depression. Now they probably won’t let me join bruh oml I’m gonna cry.
Stay tuned for a future video around that particular topic. 🙏🏽
@@TEAMSWARTZ thank you so much
@@avalee7228 My pleasure and Stay Blessed! 🙏🏼
Same here! I feel like they're gonna have to start lowering standards or something. Depression rates among young people are climbing as well.
I'm about to get hernia surgery do you think I'll be able to join after I heal and wait 6 months?
Yes, as long as you heal good. No waivers required either. Thanks for watching!
@@TEAMSWARTZ thank you!!!
I just called my recruiter and she said it was only going to meps and not reception?
MEPS Guidance Counselor confirmed; Benning, Jackson, Parris Island and a Naval Location in CA will be leveraging Genesis…
@@TEAMSWARTZ So does that mean they will only be testing it out?
What happens if you are in DEP, enlisted back in july. Will they do a MEPS genesis check on me in boot camp?

i mean all i got on my record is antibiotics i had to take for a week..and a minor concussion but i went to the doctor and got cleared from that like 5 year’s ago..didn’t effect me mentally or nun i was young so i think i just overreacted and made my mom take me to a doctor
