Your video for MEPS is the best one. Straight to the point, no chatting, and actually talking about the experience
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!
The Brights ayyy congrats
BOOTSontheGROUND thank you
congrats!
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.
CrazyBlackDragon I go tomorrow too 😬 I’m nervous I don’t wanna fuck up
I went there. It wasn’t that bad other than I was there from 4am and left at 8pm.
I’m going in 2 days
I’m there right now just sitting in the waiting room. I just took my verification tests awhile ago
@jacob How hard was the hearing test and how long was the physical ?
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
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.
@@AaronbTV oh wow I just found out my school does have a JROCT I will definitely join after summer
Isaac Simpson JROTC ? That’s a good class
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
I'm literally in the hotel tomorrow for my physical exam and I'm looking at RUclips videos about it
I'm kind of nervous though
good luck bro, i go next week
howd it go?
@@AaronbTV he didnt get in
Me right now 😂
I nailed it 😂
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!
Can you go out while staying at the hotel?
What state did u go to MEPS @?
@@hs4a085 yeah you can, you just have to be back by a certain time. He literally says it at 3:43 and 5:20.
Hs F_08 yes they allow you to leave the hotel and be back at certain time, my time was 10pm
Illinois
I was at meps for 13 flipping hours bro! I was the only one joining the marines too lol.
Bruh. Why you gotta say shit like that. I’m goin during covid. It’s finna be hell
Coleman Buckler bruh I’m with you on that. Fuck
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
Bruh this shit during covid about to fuck me up, I’m enlisting in the Army
JohnnyD63 same what you trynna do in the army. Meps is even more longer cause of this virus
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.
Going to MEPS tomorrow, thanks for the tips and layout
I go Tuesday and Wednesday
no problem!
I'm going tomorrow. You made me feel 100% better. No longer nervous.
how'd it go?
@@AaronbTV it was super easy. I swore in & now I'm just waiting for a job. I should leave sometime in 2020 for the airforce
Kiara E i go to MEPS in 2 days for the Airforce wish me luck
Just got back yesterday. Pretty stupid stuff and really unnecessary but I guess it has to be done. Just glad it's over
Going to MEPS tomorrow to start my Career as a dedicated future Marine. Ty for the heads up.
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!
When do you do the drug test? Was it first thing in the morning? Or after everything?
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 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.
That's cool man, make sure you get the MOS you want!
Aye bro what day?
Going to meps on Monday
Very nervous !!! Oh god ... edit: I passed!!!! 11x here I come lol fort bening all the way
Ivan Rios when you going? I go to fort Benning sep. 23rd
@@sembolicsog7186 niceee I'm going on the 15th lol gess I will see you there
lol I can't wait
@@ivanrios2417 im goin oct 28th to benning
Yo whats the ear test like? I heard something about making you pop your ears?
You’re so good in explaining bro ❤️✊🏾
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 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
Going tmr gotta be at the office at 0430😭 MARINES!!!!!
How did it go
he died
@@mrjim7565 😂
thanks for the info!! im going to meps 2 days from now!!
How'd it go?
Damn! I’m going this Sunday, am I going to sign contract and take the oath right there????
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...
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'm going to MEPS on the 15. I have asthma but running comes easy to me and I'm very fit💯. I hope the air national guard let's me in.
same thing with me but marines tho
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
So scared for my physical, my recruiter already saw there is going to be a concern because I had surgery (like 7 years ago) ahhh
Just relax, you got it focus on what you can control.
xxTheFeels :/ this is my probleemmm!! I think.. I just got a surgery when I’m born this affects my entrance!???!
AaronbTV I got one too this afect my entrance??????!!!!!!!!! I got when I just born
Aye bruh I had a waiver on my shoulder and made it through. It took a bit but just be patient you’ll be just fine.
what happen? u got in
Did they ever threaten you with 5 years in prison, and a 10,000 dollar fine for false enlistment
yes, they do that to everyone
@@AaronbTV is that like a routine thing? Or is it a bunch of dudes yelling and screaming at you threatening you?
They did not yell at me
@@AaronbTV thanks for your quick response bro. You da man!
No problem bro!
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.
@@AaronbTV I did he said they will let me know after MEPS
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”
how’d it go?
Can you ride back with your parents after MEPs or does your recruiter have to bring you back ?
If you’re parents come and your not shipping out that same day, yes.
@@AaronbTV wow you can ship out the same day?
BuĞrA BoZTePe according to my recruiter that’s the plan, as long as I pass.
Any advice you can give me? I’m going to a hotel Monday and then to MEPS that Tuesday
Going up to meps for the delayed entry program leaving for basic monday 2nd time at meps
You got it bro! Just do what your told and be good at PT!
You never mentioned the part about spreading your eagle cheeks! lmfao
Mr M huh???
@@Crispr00 you have to show the doctors your asshole

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.

Thank you. Very nice.
Featureman wasssap
I fly to Cali Sunday to go to MEPS in Sacramento I have to take a verification test for my PICAT..
Goodluck!
lol where are u I'm at Sacramento MEPS already haha
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
It’s a big step in life but it’s not scary bro
For the physical do you still got your underwear on. I go in a few weeks and that shit always freaked me out
Jacob Kooistra no but you’re in a room with a nurse or doctor who’s been doing this for years so it’s not awkward unless you make it awkward
Spidey Senses thought you didn’t that’s what I’ve been hearing.
Spidey Senses sorry I meant o thought you have em on
My husband's recruiter once told him, "If you're early, you're on time. if you're on time, you're late. if you're late, people die".
Corona virus 🦠 won’t let my family in there 😕
You had MEPS?
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!
Do they check your medical records? What if you have asthma?
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
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
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
After doing meps can you go home?
Or when is it when you officially go to week training?
You can go home
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?
You should be fine, had a guy like that when I went, just tell em exactly that and don’t act depressed lol
How did it go? I have a very similar problem 👀
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
Going to MEPS next week 😁
Goodluck bro you’ll do fine
Was talking toa female in line and this nurse ran down the hall yelling to get away from the females 😂
Damn 🤣
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
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.
Yo bro how long since you first arrived there to when you had to give your piss test?
It’s prob your 3rd test.
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
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
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 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?
I have to go through meps again to go back to Ait I go February 4
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.
Listen everybody GET your rest I was nodding off whole process
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
🙏God is good🙏
Go to meps soon don’t wanna fuck up kinda nervous
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..)
Going to MEPS TMR!💪🏽
Goodluck! How'd it go?
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,
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 go back to the Army recruiter on the 20 to take the practice asvab and then i go to meps
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'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??
Going tomorrow thx 👌🏽
Goodluck!
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
@@correctanswer174 no problem, I might need you one day haha
Do they care about teeth?
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
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
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.
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
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.
What about if you smoked with in the past, can that be a disqualification?
Smoking can get you disqualified, but just wait 2 weeks before you go to the meps so the drugs can get your system
Edwin Salas
It can be if you admit to it. Do not admit to it. *MEPS doctors will do ANYTHING they can to disqualify you for ANY reason* ( two of my recruiters told me that a guy they sent to MEPS was permanently disqualified from joining any branch of the military because one doctor saw him biting a hangnail on his finger and his finger bled. The doctor claimed he had "wolfbiting syndrome"These two recruiters said this independently of one another, so I'm sure they didn't make that story up) Of course they will drug test you, but if you haven't done anything in the last month then it shouldn't show up in your system.
What they *can't do* is do a lie detector test on you and ask you "have you ever smoked marijuana even once ever in your life?" But if you *admit to it* , then they will (most likely) disqualify you. If it's not in your system and you don't have a record of it (an arrest, which would be a disqualification anyway) then they only what you tell them. So don't try to be a clown and test the waters by admitting to doing anything wrong, ever.
They say they have waivers but I never heard them specified
@@macburger5026 thanks brother .. I took my oath after I passed all the BS
@@kevs482 congrats good luck to you and hopefully you signed as short a contract as possible (three years) and got a decent MOS

going to MEPS in 2 days wish me lucky 😁
Dang My meps hotel didn’t have nothing i went right to sleep

So I took the asvab and scored 78 will I have to do the test again in meps?
If you did it with your recruiter yeah. I took it and had to take another short version to make sure I didn’t cheat

Can't say for sure. I didn't have to take ASVAB again in MEPS. The one that I took at the recruiter at my local community college stood. Before then, my recruiter had me do a practice one that he emailed me.
mac burger did you take the picat or what ever it’s called
@@bootsontheground9998 I really can't remember if "picat" was what it was called, the practice ASVAB test that my recruiter emailed me before I did the actual ASVAB at a local community college.
@@bootsontheground9998 It probably was called "picat" I can't remember exactly what I scored on it, I think it was in the low 70's. The recruiter swore that if I had a score like that, that I would not only pass the actual test, but I would actually score even higher on the actual test than the practice one.
That is what happened, I scored an 88 on the actual test. Should have joined the Air Force instead of the Army. I wound up sticking with the Army recruiter. Bad move. I also had to settle for an awful MOS (not realizing just how terrible it was, 92 Golf, at the time).
I passed MEPS but do they check your weight again on your ship date?
yes, they don't drug test you tho
What happens if you don’t meet the weight requirement at your ship date?
You don’t ship and go back home
Do you take your clothes off to check it at MEPS ?
i’m going thursday i’m so nervous 😬
Don’t be!
what do they check?\
Good video bro!
Do they ask if you have a march2success account
No
Man be cool to meet you on the other side. Congratulations
Definitely!
lol I’m going into the army I go to meps soon I got a 43 on the asvab so I didn’t get any chill jobs
What job did you end up getting? You can always re take the ASVAB later in your career and re class. P.S I got a 41 so your smarter than me bro
AaronbTV either a 42 alpha or a 92 y what job did you pick
D✘G thanks
D✘G good luck
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?
I really hope you got harder after MEPS. #Charmin
Your lame
In my experience MEPS is just a free trial of your experience at reception lol
I'm going tomorrow!
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.
