MEPS tomorrow morning

[Reed]

Any advice is welcomed. I'm not too nervous about it, but I'm not 100% sure on what to expect.

Only thing that I'm nervous about is getting denied, cause I don't have a plan B.

What branch?

If you tell them you have never drank or smoked or broke bones better stick to that story like super glue.

I will!

How far can they look into your medical records?

[Big Red]

remember your, yes sir and aye sir. drink lots of water night before for the pee test. other than that, stick to your answers. don't let them get in your head saying its okay if you smoked pot only this one time at band camp they aren't stupid, but they aren't your counselor and just want straight answers involving yes or no.

have fun waiting in the lines!

[Reed]

The waiting really wasn't that bad, the longest I waited was probably 30 minutes, all the other wait times were probably 10 minutes and 90% of the time there was a movie to watch (the patriot, flyboys, and some other war movie) .

meps really wasn't as bad as it's cracked up to be, I wasn't smoked and I didn't hear about anyone else getting smoked either. Even 2 kids that decided to wake up 2 hours late didn't get smoked (as far as I know).

My MOS is 14t and ship jan 2. I wanted 14s and I qualified for it, but they didn't need people there so 14t was the next best thing.

you def wont get smoked at meps even when i came in the army in 07 there wasnt any getting physical smokings. the army is a cake walk if you can deal with the invisible bars around you 24/7 and if you can deal with that you should do just fine

I was told by a few people that you could get smoked at MEPS, I think even my recruiter told me once that it could happen. Also was told by my recruiter before I left for meps that they would probably try to scare me into saying something on my medical record is false (he even gave me an unexpected demo of what could go down, which kinda freaked me out ) but that didn't happen either.
