Throw it away now.  MEPS are in federal buildings, and there aren't any amnesty boxes in MEPS anymore.  You will, however, go through a metal detector and your bag through an xray machine.

Former recruiter, stopped making the trip to MEPS with recruits 3 years ago. I doubt it's gotten more lenient.

No idea who that is, unfortunately.  

I've always flirted with the idea.  I talked to a recruiter 2.5 years ago before I left on a two year religious/humanitarian mission.  I wasn't very serious.   Came back and started looking at school options.  Walked into my recruiter's office two weeks and two days ago.

Make sure the Dr. changes rubber gloves when grabbing your junk and peppering your angus.
Do not ask me how I know.

That Dr. at MEPs had bumps on his bald head, was stooped over and walked with a Cigarette in his hand.

Anyone else enlist here that remembers that place?

The right answer to health questions is what ever answer you gave your recruiter when he pre-screened you with a fuck ton of questions.


He did do that, didn't he?







If not, say "no" to everything unless a positive answer is better.   Examples :

Do you use drugs? No
have you had surgery? No
do you have a sense of smell? Yes.


On a very serious note.  They will threaten you with jail time for falsifying information. I'm not saying lie, because, in all honesty, your recruiter should have properly pre-screened you for every question you'll get asked.

But, MEPS is that place where, if you don't tell them, and you didn't tell your recruiter or put it down on your sf86, they don't   know.

If you lied on your sf86, and your job requires a secret or higher, you're fucked.

when you get there in the morning, make sure ask for the foul line and see if they have your cards at the mail buoy.













Just kidding.
One word of advice, do not let them shanghai you in the Liason Office. I scored high on the ASVAB and they started off offering me Yeoman and then Hull Technician. I wanted Aviation and demanded it. They then went to Aviation Aircrew riggers. I was closer, but wanted to work with aircraft. They gave me Aviation Apprenticeship.
It was the best thing I could have gotten.

Keep yourself in shape, out of trouble, and away from females.

OSUT is a like that crazy exgirlfriend who was amazing in the sack, it'll be fun sometimes, you'll hate it a lot, years later you'll want to do it again.

Don't feel too anxious! Talk to your roommate [who is, BTW, probably more nervous than you] and settle in for the night. If this is your first time to MEPS, you will have a long day of tests and waiting in front of you...you'll be fine though! Eat wisely at the free breakfast.
