We’d like to tell you about the Military Entrance Processing Station, known as a MEPS, and what you can expect during your processing. The MEPS is a Department of Defense joint-service organization staffed with military and civilian professionals. We determine applicant’s physical qualifications, aptitude and moral standards as set by each branch of military service. Testing: Each applicant for military service is required to take the CAT-ASVAB, which measures aptitude in a broad range of career fields. A product of more than 50 years of research, the ASVAB is now available in both computerized (CAT-ASVAB) and traditional “paper and pencil” versions. Each service combines the test section results to produce its own unique scores for various career fields. You may have already taken the ASVAB in high school or for enlistment purposes. If so, tell your recruiter or your test administrator, because you may not be required to take the test. Physical: Physical examinations are vitally important because everyone entering the armed forces must be in good health to endure the challenges of basic training and military service. You will have to remove your outer clothing during parts of the examination. Your physical examination consists of: * Height and weight measurements * Hearing and vision examinations * Urine and blood tests * Drug and alcohol tests * Muscle group and joint maneuvers, in underclothing …

When I went through MEPS the longest ammount of time for me was going through Job Search and Background Check. Because there is so many people there and only like two people doing the stuff… That is the absolute longest amount of time. I would much rather go through Boot Camp again then go back to MEPS.

Why would anyone, ever, think it would be ok to bring “illegal items” to an army processing station? Or for God’s sakes why go commando? You aren’t even trained yet!

Yeah except now they “DEP DISCHARGE” you and it shows up on your background check whenever you go for a job even a civilian job. It also hurts your ability to get student and federal loans.

do you have to sign if you weren’t able to get a job that you liked? or take the oath or whatever? and if you do, does it mean there’s no way out without a dishonorable discharge?
