MEPS PHYSICAL & WHAT TO EXPECT | MY MEPS PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE !!

- In this video i explain how the physical is conducted at MEPS and all the different stations they make you go through to see if you can medically make it into the armed forces. I explain my experience at the military entrance processing station, your experience may be different but the tests are all the same. This is My Meps Physical Experience.
MEPS is a 12 hour day on average so be prepared with all your paper work and get a good nights sleep the day before!
I am not instructing anyone to make up or lie about medical conditions or any other questions but just informing that your words should match the documents you filled out with your recruiter before going because if there is a miss communication and you slip up and answer it incorrectly your entry will be delayed or even worse you could get disqualified completely.

Great video, very informational! I go for my MEPS physical Tomorrow and this video really helped answer a ton of questions i was curious about! Thank you for the MEPS experience videos ! :)
Jessica Miller Awesome, Good luck tomorrow! I’m glad they helped!!
Its super easy to pass. Ever smoked weed before? NO. Ever had problems with depression or anxiety? NO. Have any physical issues we need to be aware of? NO
NO= New Opportunities
YES= Your Enlistment Stops
Thanks, your explanation was simple, detailed and straight to the point. It took me 15 MEPS videos to make it to yours hahaa.
You’re welcome happy it helped out, check out my other videos for more info!
Solid report, it gave me a clear insight of what is expected. Great person
Great video buddy I passed my ASVAB test today, and now I was so worried about the medical and physical test , but thank God I really know myself, I don’t drink, don’t smoke , don’t do tattoos, happy 😃!!
Hey it’s been 2 years now.
How’s it going so far?
Just got back from MEPS. Day 1- ASVAB+ other tests. Day 2- Medical. It was a long ass few days, but glad it is done and over with. Worst part for me was the urinalysis as they line up groups of 5 dudes, tell you to drop your pants to your ankles, then watch you pee. Was very awkward, but don't stress. Just focus on you and your cup. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day till that point comes around. Some dudes who had to piss real bad just couldn't get themselves to do so in front of others. Everything else was a cakewalk, just a lot of waiting for the next station to open up. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer as I was nervous going into it without having experience.
How long do you have to stay naked for
@@jonathanbeteta5760 as long as it takes to take your piss. Other than that you are not naked. Only when the doctor checks you out you are briefly undressed. It’s not bad at all.
I hear a lot of rumors about the physical .How was it? Do t sugar coat it.
@@braedonhinrichsen7234 Honestly it is not bad at all. Yes they do check you, but know this, these people examine so many people in a week that it becomes a routine for them. I'm not sure what to point out exactly, but I wouldn't worry at all about MEPS. It's a process, but looking back on everything MEPS was nothing.
Wish you the best!
@@BraJoe96what do they do exactly to test your knees?
In the process of enlisting now. Made the mistake of telling my recruiter about the stuff I had medically going on when I was a BABY. Now it’s costed me so much time trying to get enlisted. It’s been a nightmare. I’m PERFECTLY FINE AND NORMAL and they’re acting like I’m some alien. I’m on around..6-7months of trying to finish enlisting. Legit worst time in my life atm. I just can not wait to be at bootcamp and starting my life.
Same for me, said I thought o had asthma and heartburn and had to get all pharmacy records and a million doctors notes
This was helpful. Im having to redo my EST attempt in the morning and hopfully pass, start to take the asvab and get my life started
Great videos, man! One question, When exactly do you sign your contract?
The day you choose your jobs and officially the day you leave at your final swear in.
Oh shit bro you had the full rinse and wash back here😂
Yes I did, long hair for 6 years! Crazy times
Thank you bro, that was super helpful!!
Came across this video cuz I have MEPS in March! Thanks for the insight man!
No problem, happy it helped out!
Hey Aj, just curious bc I noticed you’re playing bass in your profile pic, but are joining and planning on doing music as your job in the air force ?
@@adamstickelbault I’m not, I’d like to but I actually got offered a contract to do helicopter maintenance and I’m taking a PAST test to see if I qualify for SERE
@@ajsamano7869 Nice was considering enlisting in AF (have college degree in performance) and I still play so was trying to find people who had recent experience doing music AF
@@adamstickelbault the CZcamsr EMCProductions plays in the Marine Corps drum and bugle corps and he gives some insight on the music career in the military. Although he’s not in the Air Force, the music career for different branches are pretty universally translated
Great video by the way appreciate it !
When I bend down on my knees my left knee Pops and cracked 85# of the time. I’ve been a laborer all my life. It doesn’t hurt. I went through all the exercises, I can hear my knee crack and pop when I do it, with the duck walk, I’m gonna have to practice because I’ve never did it before but with the squat and drop and stay back up, that’s where you can here crackle. I’ve been exercising and trying to help with it but I hope I don’t get disqualified. I’ve been to doctor they didn’t see or feel anything. Did an X-ray as well but nothing was wrong.
Pls get back to me. Got to in a week an half
@@fullydull I'm in my 30s. My knee cracks as well. Both knees. They didn't care as long as you can do the actual maneuver. Mine just laughed about it with me. The way to think about it is the purpose of the doctors and the moves are more "watching" for things not "listening" for things.
@@SoulOnIce1983 how old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 31 going to meps next week for physical
@@josewalker416 did you pass? I’m 36 and leaving tomorrow
@@SoulOnIce1983what maneuvers do they make you do
Way to go man!
1:20 idk where you took the test but here in the tampa bay area in South Fl they ask you to stay at the hotel regardless. They also ask you to report to the lobby at around 4 am so you gotta wake up at 3:30ish.
They gave anybody with a car the option to drive down in the morning and not have to stay in the hotel over night just for the asvab, I didn’t have the physical and asvab on the same day just the asvab.
@@AirmanNick lmao brother I just saw another video of yours saying that your hotel was the one in Tampa. So we were at the same one
i go to meps today,, very helpful for last minute people like me haha
This is rlly helpful and informative
I go to The meps hotel tomorrow. Y’all pray it goes perfect if y’all don’t mind!
How did it go? Any updates?
@@liberty8071 yup! Enlisted two months ago I leave for Fort Sill on June 6th! Guess now y’all pray basic training goes perfectly if y’all don’t mind lol. With God everything can happen!
@@bradynolan4490 how'd it go?
you cant lie any more they implement Genesis .
Weird I aced the hearing test and just clicked it as SOON as I heard a beep. (I did psych myself out tho so I waited for atleast two sometimes)
Hey, I am planning on joining the Navy however, I’ve been having problems with my Blood Pressure. Over the last two years, I’ve been having elevated hypertension. My readings at home are around 120/80 - 130/80. But whenever I go to the doctors, it tend to be around 150/90 - 160/90. I even took a 24 hour assessment on my blood pressure and the reading showed an average of 132/78. I’m starting to get worried that I won’t pass my medical exam. Any tips on helping to lower it down? Please let me know.
Make sure you do not use mouth wash the day you test. Heard it can make you test positive.
if i’ve gotten an xray on my knee before will they know about it?
Dude , you killed me everytime you said they threaten you 😂😂
what is the one on one visit with the physician like? is it just them asking you questions?
I failed the hearing test 2x in 1 day lmao... once because I had blockage in my ear, 2nd time because I had water and peroxide lodged in my right ear.... so I go back tomorrow.
3rd times the charm?
Update: I passed
68w option 4
I ship may 4th
How bad do you have to do to fail? This is my biggest worry
@@rpg23245 there's a limit yo how bad it can be.... just click the button. Think you heard something not sure? Click
Been silent too long? Click
Is that a mark on the wall? Click
I know this is an old video but quick question if anyone can answer. How well do they actually look at your body? Particularly your knees? I’ve had fluid removed from my knees when I was a kid because I used to skate board and dirt bike. It does not affect me now but I do have light scars.
How did it go I have a slight pop sound every time I bend my left knee
I have three acl tears. But I’ve been cleared by my surgeon to enlist. I can duck walk and everything. What’s your opinion on this? Are my chances slim?
No your chances are not slim if you can do all the different positions they make you do. Everybody pretty much passes unless there’s a really noticeable difference when performing one of the different things they make you do. You may need some type of medical waver for the past surgeries I would ask your recruiter what he thinks your best course of action is when it comes to that.
@@AirmanNick I had a back injury. I'm medically cleared. What do you think?
im a trans guy (female to male) and would like to enlist in the airforce as a man. is there anything they might ask me to do that would reveal that im trans? (hoping to go stealth-aka people don’t know im trans)
thanks! this is very helpful
thank you for the video but im sorry to ask the obvious question but how long ago were you in since that hair didnt grow overnight..
Hey man, just wanted to ask about lasik. I got the procedure done in August and I plan to enlist soon, would that disqualify me in any way?
I think in some jobs in the military it may disqualify you for but not the military in general, check with a recruiter on the specific jobs that you could still get
Do you remember the exact movements they made you do for the physical exam?
Not specifically it was over a year ago, some were difficult though.
Don’t know if you’ll see this comment but I’m thinking of enlisting but I’m scared because I have relatively bad posture. It bothers me a little but never effects me as far as movements and exercise and things . Is back problems even if little a problem ?
I have really high aches, looks like clubbed feet. Will they disqualify me if my feet look weird lmao? It doesn't bother me, nor limit my mobility. I'm athletic, and did sports in high school just fine.
You are awesome! Thank you for your advice! #airforce
Thank you! Check out my other videos for more information on getting your Air Force journey started!
Sarah Martin is there a scar? And are u still suffering from it?
@@AirmanNick yes on my wrist area and it doesnt look like self harm. I dont know what to say to meps and they said I had to wait 36 months after my treatment date which was Feb 2018
Sarah Martin that’s a tricky situation, I’m not saying to lie or make up a story but the Air Force will not take self harm lightly, the depression thing them giving you 36 months puts u in the middle of 2021, so gives u plenty of time to talk to ur recruiter and figure out what to say and do.
@@AirmanNick ok thank you for the quick responses
question when you go to meps the second time to ship off to basic do you undergo another physical exam like height weight private exam?
I have back acne not really back acne it jus acne scars like black dots over my back i’m working on it to make it better, but is this something that can disqualify me i have been really stressing over this so if you can let me know it had be thankful of you.
I honestly think you will be perfectly fine, nothing to stress over.
Is it possible to tell them that your still deciding which branch and you just wanted to know what jobs are available?
I've gotten two speeding tickets back in the day. Am I disqualified from the military?
Not at all
You'll likely have to get a form signed by the police department/court house to get your records. But no you'll be fine as long as you are honest about that and share it with your recruiter.
When in doubt, talk to a recruiter and they will help you through the process!
If I have a tooth ache or tooth needs to be pulled wen I’m it basic would they be able to fix it for me during basic? And also would it set me back ?
Yes it would more than likely set you back, but who knows. If you could wait I would do it at tech school.
Nick, I'm turning 35 and have a biliary sludge problem that doesn't bother me. You think I have a change at passing MEPS?
If it doesn’t bother you should be fine
Are they having asvab test again at the meps? cuz i saw other video after FBI backround they set you for another asvab test? thank you.
I leave to meps this week for a physical but my recruiter is saying I will be going to a education program before bct how true is this ?
If you are partially color blind but can still tell the difference between colors will you be disqualified
Hey thank u for the video. Jst wanted to ask about how a stutterer person would go through meps?
My recruiters are dragging ass about my physical and they said I'm not allowed to drive myself? Wtf.
It has to be 20/20 vision ? I thought it disqualify you from certain jobs?
So you swear in after MEPS? They don’t have a swearing in where family can be present?
Yes they do, during the peak covid 19 times there was no family allowed.
Did they do a dental check ? On you
So with the vision test people with glasses can wear their glasses or they make you take them off?
I believe they make you take them off but if you already have glasses it will be on your file
Do you recommend wearing a black tshirt with a little logo on the left pec and a bigger logo on the back?
When ?
Sorry forgot to say, but to meps for physical
@@brandongomez3264 that should be fine you are not in the military yet so doesn’t matter what you wear as long as it’s not offensive.
You get sworn in on your your day at meps?
They don’t check your medical records?
Do i have to retake the asvab if i already took it in school?
got in yesterday and signed lol i ship april 8
How was the dental exam?
So, in other words lie about childhood asthma that hasn't come up since I was 10-11 years old. I'm 26 now.
James Zamora well typically if it’s not affecting you now it shouldn’t be a problem and may cause extra wait times and problems adding it to your paperwork. I’m not saying to lie at all bring it up with your recruiter I’m only saying it could hurt your enlistment process.
@@AirmanNick appreciate you getting back to me. Thank you.
Tell them what you told your recruiter. They hate updating paperwork
Hey so I plan on joining the marines and about a year ago I went to a clinic to do a blood test and the doctor there misdiagnosed me with anxiety and mind you I never had a history of anxiety, panic attacks, or been on medication. Is there a way I can fix this and will this misdiagnoses prevent me from joining the military?
talk to your recruiter and get paperwork from the doctor and you could get a waiver too
Hey Nick , I’ve gotten arrested once but not processed or anything . Would I be disqualified ?
You are probably fine, I would double check with a recruiter.
@@AirmanNick thank you 🙏🏽
I had asthma since I was a little baby until I turned 9-10 years and that’s not a problem for me right now! Should I tell my recruiter that? I don’t think I should said it at Meps. What do you guys think?
If you said it at meps let your recruiter know, but if you didn’t and it doesn’t bother or affect you right now probably wouldent do you any good bringing it up.
@@AirmanNick I haven’t talk to a recruiter I am just preparing myself! And the asthma issue it’s on my medical record as a “pass”
Nervous nervous nervous
After you take the asvab in testing center where your recruiter sent you then you have to take another asvab at meps?
No u only take it once if u pass then ur good
Wait so if I have a hernia I can’t join?
The kid who showed up drunk may have something unexpected that came up and decided to fail it by choice
Do people lie about drinking alcohol in the past?
Good thing my background is clear I never fuck up with the law
I told my recruiter about my DUI, I have a certificate of competition of my DUI classes. I hope I’m able to enlist still. What do you think ? It’s been 5 years
You should be fine
How long was the whole process?
Alexis Ochoa Entire Process Was About 10 hours from start to finish. It’s a very long day, they also make you eat lunch there.
I decided to get some gas in the morning and by the time I got the buses were JUST pulling in. They had me drive around the block bc they blocked the entrance and I was the LAST ONE to get in and literally the last person to do the physical. It took me probably 10 hours so it all depends on when you make it there but be ready to put half a day in.
It's good they feed you
Bro do they check your skin ? If so how thorough
Im joining the Marines the only concern I had dental implants when I was a kid due to sport injury will that disqualify me my recruiter told me know I have to drop a hundred pounds prior to my enlistment im 26
Same I’m worried about dental as well
@@williamboyd956 I found out as long as its not currently your ok My implants/veneers were put in when i was 12 I had crooked teeth that were trying to infext my gums . I'm enlisting still Just be honest and Tell your recruiter everything is what I've been learning dont tell them things that are not important
I heard you have to go with a medical record
After processing did your recruiter call you after a week to pick your jobs? I am processing later this week
He called me in the next day after my asvab
@@AirmanNick Oh i see, i already took my ASVAB so i'm guessing it would be right after my physical
Do they check for tonsils?
If you were arrested as a juvenile but your 18 should you tell them you’ve been arrested even thought it was expunged
I would mention it to the recruiter and go with whatever he says to do
Gotcha
And do they check your bag before , say I wanna bring my nicotine device to the hotel , would that be aloud
@@antt4739 they will only check it at bmt from what I experienced so do not bring it to bmt
Preciate it man , I go to meps this Thursday so just wanted some good info
Volume is really low
I don’t know if I should lie about my back pain or not.
Yes. Tell them you don’t have back pain
@@micheal67 ok thank you
Did you feel light headed or anything after blood test?
Capt JackPal Not at all, some people did.
Depends on the person. I hate needles so I felt light headed before 😂. The guys that did the blood test were probably the only nice people in the entire building
I got a write up my sophomore year of high school for goofing off in class. Would I still be able to make it?
Yes lol they don’t care about that, that’s very minor.
How detailed do they look at your skin??
A quick glance
Weird question but I’m shy I know they check your balls but do they grab your actual shaft and look close at everything or do they just check the balls ?
And was the pie for
Will you get disqualified for a hemorrhoid?
No
So if take the asvab at my recruiters office will I have to take it at meps ?
Yes, usually the asvab they make you take in the recruiters office is a practice asvab to get an idea of what you will score on the actual asvab!
Subscribe for more videos and watch Part #1!
Depends. If it was the PiCAT they say that you need to take a shorter confirmation test similar to what you took already. Some unlucky ppl like me took the PiCAT at home and then the asvab in person because for “calibration” purposes
At least you got practiced with picat hahaha
@@dominusfons4455 the picat was very easy in comparison. Basic questions such as what is X tool and what is it used for. The Asvab had much more complex questions.
@@Shotgun_Only what did you get tho?
Does anyone know if people with asthma made it through with a wavier or lied
I’m pretty sure asthma is a big no for the military.
Lie they won’t know
If you have a ticket and it’s cleared should you mention it to the recruiter? Will the ticket jeopardize enlisting?
I don’t think the ticket will hurt your recruiting process at all. Bring it up to a recruiter ask him your best course of action.
@@AirmanNick Thank you!!
Do they check inside your nasal cavity
I do not believe so
@@AirmanNick thank you for replying and thank you for your service!
They sound like they don’t want you to join Jesus
How long did the process take for you to get your mos
Chiko Mba it only took me 1 week after meps to get my mos, I got my job first pick. Which is rare but it happened.
@Airman nick I'm in the process of joining the airforce do you think my meps process or my overall process slow down due to coronavirus?
Chiko Mba Yes it will, I just got word today that my boot camp is delayed because of the virus and that the processing is going to be a little bit longer when I do get there. The current word is that we will all be delayed and pushed back 1 week but it isn’t confirmed yet. Please Like & Subscribe!!
@@AirmanNick Whats your job/ AFSC ?
I wanted that job but I did not pass the deep perception test. Until now I am leaving on May 12, my job would be Missile and Space Electronics 2M0X1. Greetings from Puerto Rico !
My dental is not the best will that affect me from passing or joining
Good question and it all depends on how severe the problem actually is. I don’t remember them doing anything to me regarding my dental at meps but at bmt they defiantly do.
Airman Nick just a few cavities. Like I can eat and chew.
Adam Altmeyer should be fine
Great! Thank you for your help
If I had anxiety in the past will that disqualify me?
No unless it’s a huge problem and you mention it
That's a stupid reason to disqualify someone
@@christianalexander579 no it’s not you can’t crack under pressure and anxiety makes you crack under pressure
Macadellic
I brought an M-16 to MEPS babayyyyyy
is there a dental exam and do they give you any fillings you need?
No there is not. They will check your teeth at bmt not meps.
When do they do the height and weight assessment so you wear shoes or socks. I am 5’8 3/4 would they round up to 5’9?
Good question.
Hopefully they let u wear your socks.
UCMJ Uniform Code of Military Justice
And pass the cut your damn hair requirement 😅
Bros gotta mane on him
Is there dentist that checks your teeth?
Not at meps that I remember
Are you still in the military or did they change hair regulations? lol
They had my highschool records and medical , im done listening your information is false private
They implimented a new program called Genesis after this video was taken. I hear Genesis is it's own headache now that it can pull all of your health records from different sources.
