*****UPDATE*****
I was cleared for vision as a result from my consult, as of Feb. 25th! Being projected for MEPS again (third try is the charm!) for next week or the week after. Thank you for watching!! 🤍
You had three consults? What the fuck?
@@PS2Damon This will be my third time going to MEPS, not 3 consults! Sorry for the confusion!!
@@briannawood2124 oh okay. I have strabismic amblyopia so my one eye is not correctable to 20/20 at all even with glasses, it's like 20/100 and the other eye is 20/20 corrected. I am not sure if I would be able to pass MEPs with those visual acuities. I am going maybe next Monday or the following Monday to find out. It sucks I am expecting to fail to get a consult.
@@PS2Damon You will see a civilian specialist that will kind of ultimately determine whether your condition is "permanently disqualifying". Rules are different for each branch, but sometimes a surgery may be a feasible option if you're up for it. Stay positive, I wish you the best!
@@PS2Damon How did it go are u in?
Ive searched for an eye consult video for such a long while and i finally found yours! Thank you for this, i go back to MEPS Wednesday and Thursday morning to my eye consult a little nervous for their finings but like you said you have had glasses all your life so if there was a eye disease you would know by now. Good luck to you! i'm going Navy also.
I’m so so glad I was able to help! I felt so disheartened when I couldn’t find any sort of resource on it so I definitely wanted to help in a way! Best of luck and best wishes to you at your consult :) Hooyah
Do you know how long it takes for it come back I sent it in last week still haven’t came back
Thank you so much! Love how detailed you are with these videos. Helps out an anxious sis like me 😂👍🏼♥️♥️
No problem, I felt the same way so definitely one of the reasons I tried to be super detailed! 🤣 thanks for watching!
Greattt! Lol thank you for this. Just finished MEPS today and vision (left eye) was the only thing that kept me from swearing in today. I’m not even worried! We got this! Go Queen🙏🏾✨
Hoping for the best to come to you girl! 💓
@@briannawood2124 thank you love! Same to you!!!💞
@@SourPatch19Studded what's the update???
Did you get a waiver∑
omg girl i was just there for an eye consult this past week and i’ve been over thinking like crazy lol, so glad i saw this video! you sharing your experience made me feel 10x better!
So glad to help, they mainly just look for diseases. Blind people problems lol 😂 thanks for watching!
Just a quick question, do you MUST go back to MEPS for an eye consult? Or you can do it with your local doctors?
Depends on the MEPS, but in my experience I was told I had to do the MEPS doctors
I had a consult I needed to do.. I finished and I'm good headed back to meps to dep in.. good luck Bri I may see you around 💪
Congrats! Hopefully everything goes good and you get the rate you want!
Do you know how long it takes to get approved it been since last week since my recruiter sent it In thanks
How long did you have to wait in between your initial visit to MEPS and your eye consult
Took about 2 weeks roughly to hear back on a date! Had some other stuff come up that made me wait longer
Hopefully I can get through this. Yesterday I went to MEPS and everything but my eyes were ok. Now this issue arises, when I was filling out the MEPCON 680 and had my recruiter review it, I had originally put I have astigmatism and I got surgery for lazy eye, but my recruiter said to lie about that. So I'm worried about that now.
Hey, just gotta be 100% honest. Truth comes out now or during your eye exam at bootcamp, so rather be now than later! Wish you the best of luck!
Please please please tell me what happened. I'm going for the exact reason next week. Please respond soon.
@@nate9777 Sorry, I haven't done anything about it to be honest.
Kind of just don't care about it anymore.
Hope your outcome is better than mine though!
Me soon!😭 Did you have to go through the whole medical exam again at MEPS? Or how did the waiver + consult work? I already did the medical exam but now idk if I have to do it again
No I didn't have to go through medical twice, just once I was cleared on my eyesight they sent me to classifications and I swore in! Best of luck!
How long did it take for MEPS to schedule your vision consult ?
It took about 3 weeks, but really 2 and a half ish because of MEPS being closed for Thanksgiving
Hey! How long takes to your recruiter scheduled you MEPS medical visit after ur ASVAB!?
If you are taking your ASVAB at MEPS, you go the next day after spending a night at the hotel! If you take it at a recruiting station, you wait for your results and they can schedule you for a confirmation test and medical visit within a few days or weeks!
@@briannawood2124I already tested a month ago! Just working in lose some weight! 😂 But I’m good to go now! 🙅🏻♂️ Thank you so much your videos really help me a lot! ☺️
No problem! So glad I’m able to help! Best of luck to you!!
I did meps last Friday! And got scheduled for a eye counsel. I’m afraid because I paid out of pocket to see my own optometrist before seeing military paid doctor. My optometrist said to stop wearing contacts because it messed scratch up my cornea. He said it will take a long time to heal. Should
I be worried? Will this dq me from military entrance?? Or will they look past it and make
Me sign a waiver?
Definitely something that is more specific to talk about with your recruiter. Scratching your cornea can lead to a lot of different issues, minor or not, but I don’t think I can give you a more solid answer because I didn’t go through anything like that. :(
I didn’t really need to bring social since I been up there before but I’m paranoid I’m bringing it just incase.
They told me. I had to go to a civilian doctor for my eyes and nothing was found so I gave my results to my recruiter. Will I need a consult despite going to a civilian optometrist?
It depends on the results you got at your appointment. I was sent to a civilian doctor from MEPS for a consultation, my results came back in about 2 weeks! You shouldn’t need another consult if they have all the info they need, best of luck!
@@briannawood2124 i recently contacted my recruiter and she said they tried to schedule me a consult and my recruiter had to cancel it because I already did an eye exam. Im guessing they didnt notice my recruiter sent them my medical documents. My recruiter and I was already waiting 3 weeks for them to respond... Such a sht show rn 🤦
I had subway lol at meps and hotel nachos
Did you wear makeup for meps in general? Is that allowed?
I wore a little bit of makeup for my swearing in, just can’t be too flashy!
What meps did you end up going too. I’m going to Pittsburg
Houston!
How long did it take you to get a consult I sent up a waiver and meps said I need a consult
Mine was scheduled within the next month
@@briannawood2124 thank you 😊
How long to get approved after that ?
Took me like 2 weeks to hear about my results from my recruiter
Question. Did everyone, who had to get a consult, take their medical folder from MEPS with them? I wasn't on the hotel list today so now my recruiter will be taking me to my consult tomorrow and I want to make sure we have everything I need before we walk into my consult.
If your talking about your personal stuff you’ve sent to MEPS, it’s already up there with your physical you’ve already done. If your talking about the medical folder they give you from your first go around at MEPS, they will give you it once you check in at the front! Good luck!!
@@briannawood2124 Thanks for the reply back! The psychiatrist is finishing up my report as we speak! All went well. Now I just hope and prey MEPS accepts her report and actually look at the results today, after my recruiter and I drop them off today, so I can swear in today! Wish me luck 🙏
@@dpaper7962 Yes best of luck! Shouldn’t be longer than a week or maybe two to hear back for sure!
@@briannawood2124 MEPS not answering their phone so recruiter is scheduling my inspect for next week and I'll be swearing in then! So that's fine by me!
No worries it’s the same that happened to me lol!
If I am color blind, I can enter?
I’m pretty sure it’s a yes, you just might be ineligible for some jobs
Any word on results??❤️
Unfortunately not yet! My MEPS office has been closed due to the power outages here in Texas :(
@@briannawood2124 ok cool I am invested I also did my eye consultation last week and waiting so I was praying for u and my self cause I know that nervousness that u talking about! I know u will be ok! I was considering doing a video myself on it.I appreciate the great work Keep it up
Thank you for your prayers because we could all use one every now and then ❤️ 100% make your own video because there’s always someone looking for information! My prayers for you as you wait for results as well!!
@@briannawood2124 yes I will very soon
sent you a follow request on IG :) Im hoping we can chat about the process of MEPS more and your overall experience :)
Yes for sure!
