HOW TO PASS MEPS ON THE FIRST TRY! (2022) 

MEPS was a breeze for me. The staff were pretty nice, kept cracking some jokes and laughing with us. It was also a Friday and they were rushing get us done fast and didn't really check every small details on our bodies.

Update: MEPS wasn’t even that (FUCKIN) bad. The worst part imo was it was really really really cold and it’s a slow process.

I died laughing at the breathalizer part cause my recruiter told me about how he went to meps hungover😂

I passed MEPS back in 1975 - but I shouldn't have. I failed the eye test with my left eye. I've been legally blind in that eye since birth. So, I scored a 20/200 (instead of 20/20). I asked another doctor later if that means I officially failed MEPS. Because, if I did, then I was leaving. Why take the rest of the physical if I already failed? Anyway, without encouragement from me, he took his pen and scratched out the 20/200 and re-wrote 20/20. With a grin on his face he sent me to the next station. Well, when I got to Lackland, one of the things they do is check your eyes for glasses. The eye doc couldn't figure out how I got 20/20 at MEPS and now I'm getting 20/200 at Lackland. He just shrugged and finished the eye tests. I never heard any more about it.

I'm a MEPS veteran, been there like 6 times lmao.

I’d say the worst part is the hearing test, after a while in that silent room you start hearing phantom beeps

Here because I’m preparing for MEPS... 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Bruh im in the hotel rn watching this

The Best Military RU-vidr Tournament is going to be happening in September guys! I’d love it if you’d vote for me when the time comes! 💯🎉🇺🇸

I really appreciate this video. Im about to join and meet with the recruiter this week. This made me feel more confident moving forward.

This was amazing and put my mind at ease even with the depression part. Can’t wait to go to MEPS I’ll use all your tips

Thank you so much for this video going to MEPS tomorrow nervous as h*ll you kind of took away my worries now much appreciated !

Been watching your videos for a long time finally lost over 60lbs and going to meps on Friday

Thank you for this video I just took my ASVAB and will be going to MEPS soon a little nervous since I’ve had a knee surgery as well, great advice

I needed to see this video thank you. I go to MEPs Friday the 10th. Army infantry here I come.

Going to meps today. How convenient this video was just posted

I just came back from MEPS today, honestly I was overthinking it. The only thing that sucked was the waiting. I would highly suggest getting enough sleep! I would also bring a sweater because I didn’t and it was freezing during the morning and in the ASVAB room. Be respectful to everyone there and ask questions if you don’t understand something. Also make sure you have all your documents that your recruiter asked you to bring and you’ll be set. Something I didn’t see anyone mention is how in MEPS they will guide you and provide instructions as to where to go next after each station. It’s very simple as long as you’re following instructions. Also once you’re on the medical section and it’s your turn to give out blood, when they ask you if you’re afraid of needles or you get dizzy when seeing blood, make sure you answer honestly! They won’t disqualify you for being afraid but they will if you faint and hit your head or an accident happens due to fainting. Make sure that whenever you’re in an interview you say exactly what’s on your documents since they only know what you provide. Also the part where they see your private areas isn’t a big deal at all, they see you for less than 2 seconds and for me personally it went by extremely fast. If you have any questions ask to me in the replies and I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge and personal experience! Also awesome video Ben! Really helped ❤️

THANK YOU SO Much! I have hearing loss in my ears and this helped me

Like always , great videos !

I can’t thank you enough brother. Definitely calmed my nerves. I am good. I am good. I am good.

It’s 4 in the morning & I’m going in like 2 hours watching this lol

I go to meps tomorrow for the Marine Corps and I’m so ready I’m also nervous but you really helped me thank you so much man!! God Bless!!

Thank you so much men, I watch this video and its really interested and important because tomarrow I have my physical Army test going in

Thank you! Love the video 🔥

Great video man, good work

thank you man you made me a lot more comfortable

Just locked in my MOS, 68W with my recruiter. I did fairly well on my asvab and was offered 18X but I’d rather try out for rangers since I know more about them based off research! I’m going to meps this week I hope all goes well I lost a lot of weight to join (from 288lbs I’m down to 190lbs)

thank you for being so helpful

I’m heading to meps tomorrow I’m so glad that you’ve done this video

My recruiter told me that if there’s not a scar for a broken bone then it didn’t happen🤷🏽‍♂️😂

I am stressing out over meps so bad right now really needed to see this thanks

thank you man. you make me feel relieved. going at MEPS next monday. goodluck to me.

This really helped, thank you, my recruiter seems trustworthy and good. She's been saying I should be just fine with a waiver

Appreciate it bronelius

This helped a lot thank you

The duck walk I almost failed but passed. I think they were being easy on me for some reason. Love the vidz bro from future marine. Rn I am a Poolee.

I’m going to Meps next Tuesday I guess I’m glad I watched this

This is very helpful lol i go Tuesday do take my asvab and armory for the Navy

Thank you brother good man

this helped ease my mind, i’m going to meps in like 10 days

Ben Allen you the man fam! Enjoy your content, please keep posting!

Best video on RU-vid

i’ve heard in the past people get disqualified for nut allergies. at Meps do you get tested for this kind of stuff? or does it only come up when the person brings it up?

Thank you sir.

I go tomorrow this video helped ease mind!

I passed meps and I leave September 23 and it was not hard at all

Hey can you make a video on waivers? I’m going to meps next week and I wanna know how getting a waiver works👍🏼

Not sure if you have or not but can you make a video on WAIVERS !?!? I don’t need one(that I know of) but just in case I would definitely like a little advice and explanation and you do a great job at both of those.

The issue for me is that I have a large scar on my back and my recruiter said it could be a disqualifier. Other than that, I'm perfectly fine, healthy, great physical shape; just that obstacle in the way.

I’m at the hotel rn they will NOT break me😭Going for airborne infantry wish me luck

Please do a video on studying for the Asvab. Thanks

I got out of MEPS 3 days ago, it was honestly not bad at all. Worst parts: long waiting time, and Shitty food. Misconceptions IMO: they didn’t try to “get any information” out of me, they just asked relatively the same questions as the recruiter. If anything the recruiter was trying harder to trip me up in preparation. Got there at 0530 , left at 1630, so long day. Lots of waiting around doing nothing.

I’m at MEPS rn I do the medical stuff tomorrow. Here’s to passing first try!!

I know im 3 months late, but definitely make a video about waivers please.

I’m kinda worried about the dental part and most dentists are mean but if i gotta get it fixed I will, and my recruiter definitely told me this is his job and as long as I do most the work he will meet me halfway. I definitely disclosed everything, and the only scars are csection which will have to get the paper work for.

This got me a lil relief about this. Lol Going next Thursday.

I will take my asvab the 7th I’m so excited

With your knee surgery, did you have any issues with the knee drop and walking on your knees with the tile floor? Ive had three, i can do every other exercise, im 7 years post op, im hoping its just not me but crap tile and knees dont seem to mesh

I leave for MEPS tomorrow 💀 thank you for this 🙏🏻

Going to meps tomorrow, was wondering if my vision is only correctable to 20/40 I’m assuming that’s gonna be a disqualification. But I can get a waiver for that right?

Hey Ben,👋🏾 Could you please do a video on the Asvab? I’m planning to take mine next month

Doing my Medical on Tuesday wish me luck I finally passed the asvab after 5 attempts. Pass with a 38 , going for MP

Will taking and passing Asvab before you go to MEPS make MEPS go by faster? For example... is it possible to take ASVAB on Monday. Then go to MEPS on Friday?

My recruiter seemed really interested when I showed him the lost of questions I had. Lol. I leave for basic tomorrow :D

5 years ago when I went to meps my roommate told me he just smoked and was wondering if they were gonna drug test😭😭😭

A waiver is just something so you cant claim it as service connected when you exit the military.

Late but I’m going tomorrow. Thanks man. Trying to be an Army 68W

I just passed meps for the Army like a week ago. Meps wasn't too bad, just a long ass day and some of the people there are kinda jackasses lol. I ship out to bootcamp on August 24th. The mos I chose is 14t. I hope everything goes well for me. Nervous about bootcamp since its super hard.

Noice 👌 Waiver video, yes please.

Great video " ya know what I mean" lol

going tomorrow this video helped a lot thanks Ben!

Would I be able to get a waiver if I can’t take a knee on my right knee but still have free range of motion?

Going to meps next week for my physical! Army infantry all the way🇺🇲

If anyone is like me and got nervous for the blood pressure heart rate part like me please don’t be it took me a whole extra few months and waivers for no apparent reason and it was unnecessary just relax and you’ll be fine had to get waivers and finally got in and made it all the way through infantry osut. Best of luck to everyone.

I’m enlisting on Monday and I’ll be going to meps soon lol

Going to MEPS in 3 days #GoArmy #ArmyStrong

I got 3 more years until I can try to enlist but I'm preparing as much as possible, so far I've learned the answer is always no 😂

I wish i would have watched this when I first went to MEPS. I passed btw

My recruiter said if I don't take medication for it or it doesnt affect me now put no to it my dad was there for it I'm 17 signing up for navy reserves

yes I would like to see video on waivers

I am headed to MEPS this Friday for my physical. I am prior service. I served in the military from 2009-2017. I am worried about the hearing test. Are the beeps in the same rhythm. Like every five seconds there's a beep ;-)

Hey Ben! What happened to your knee? And did you need a waiver? I tore my meniscus 10 years ago so I’m hoping that doesn’t disqualify me

My MEPS experience, which admittedly was a LONG time ago back in '85, was such a non-experience I barely remember it. I do remember I hated taking the ASVAB since I detested taking long tests, but other than that, I thought it was just a formality. At the time, unless you're a complete rock and flunk out of the ASVAB or a crackhead who can't pass the piss test, it was very difficult to not make it though.

Had i known this 16 years ago i could of been in but i told on myself because i have eczema so i ended up getting pdqed.. but I'm not in the system anymore so I'm joining the navy

Do you have any videos on how to study or on studying for the ASVAB i suck in math

I will be scheduled in 3 weeks to Process MEPS - AIR FORCE .

Do the waiver video!

I was in and out of meps in one day. Early morning and on the bus to parris Island the same night.

I am a little overweight, and my recruiter is actively working out with me to get me to an acceptable point so I pass the tape and go from there. From what I have gathered the recruiters are on your side at least where I am located and they aren't there to be your enemy

I have a question army ranger… they said you have to score a 105 in general. Is that the asvab ? And airborne is a army ranger or speciality ? That’s what I want to be or MP

Literally In my hotel room bed watching this🙏🏼

Has anyone had experience with a pilonidal cyst and meps? It’s just a small hole in the tailbone area and has no abscess and doesn’t drain or give me any problems

Meps took me 5-7 hrs for my one paper for testing because I was missing one letter on my name input....I was so frustrated and finally took the teat at the end of the day and passed.....😂Tomorrow's medical

You know if I can bring a doctor note for depth perception in case I fail it? Trying to get into being a PJ!

If I had a hairline fracture back in 2017 but am okay now, will I need any documentation of some sorts? It’s on my file, my recruiter already knows, have meps today 😬

Will I pass meps with a scar from my appendix being removed? I told my recruiter he said I’ll be fine even without my paperwork from the doctors?

I'll be there on tuesday.. Wish me luck boys!

Meps is pretty easy as long as u clean

I have MEPS Monday morning, wish me luck!

The comments made me happy thank you everyone
