How To Pass MEPS | What Do You Do There?? 

My recruiter told me "don't talk to anyone I haven't introduced you to" 😂😂😂😂 trust no one

Entering the military, deny evenything. Exiting the military, try to claim everything you can

NO = New Opportunities YES = Your Enlistment Stops

The dumbest thing this meps doctor asked me was "do you wear prescription glasses". I took off my glasses and was like this one. I swear this dude must have been high or extremely tired.

You gotta act like you never had a cold in your damn life.

Military Entrance PREVENTION Station

Went through MEPS today. What he says is true guys, the only guys who failed today were the ones who couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Here’s how my MEPS experience went Day 1: Hotel - I ate dinner buffet -I literally just chilled -The Hotel’s bed was too soft for my comfort. So, I couldn’t sleep that whole night. Day 2:ASVAB -Started to get ready at 4:00 am -Hotel provided breakfast at 4:45 am. It was literally a soggy tortilla with eggs.Also a small yogurt and a cup of fruit. - Bus came to transport us to MEPS at 6:00 - I arrive at MEPS at 6:30 -I got cussed by the Staff Sergeant because my bag was too big. - I had to take fingerprints and register to their system -I took my ASVAB at 7:30 with a lack of sleep - I won’t say my score since it may reveal my identity. I just got 60+ for AFQT, and line scores sufficient for my desired MOS. -After the test I had to wait at a lounge for 7 hours without lunch because my recruiter f-Ed up my schedule. Lunch at MEPS is only provided to those that completed the physical, meaning I was excluded. - I went back to the hotel around 5:30 -I ate a dinner buffet -I once again couldn’t sleep cuz that bed be too soft Day 3: Physical -Same as the morning before -I arrive at MEPS at 6:30 -Went to a lobby with other applicants -We filled out our medical forms and signed it, ensuring that we are responsible for any lies we made. -They then took a breathalyzer test and blood pressure test. You know that thing they wrap around your arm during a physical. -After that we took the real exams -Ear exam in a small chamber that had writings in German. I joked with other applicants about its potentially questionable purpose. If you know what I mean -We wore these uncomfortable headsets with L being blue and R being red. -I could literally hear my breathing overpowering the sound produced by the headers. This is because the masks (cuz corona) we had to wear made the sound my breath made amplify Eye exam -You don’t need to bring your glasses as they have machines that test automatically detects your prescribed prescription. -They check if you’re colorblind -Before the exam I went into a room with the Chief medical officer. He asked about my medical history and it’s honesty. I confirmed it’s honesty -Then a girl went into the same room. She told me that the Chief Medical doctor examines and touched her br-st. This isn’t allowed as a chaperone of the same gender as the applicant must be present with this type of encounter. -That was the last time I saw her, as I had to take my other exams. Hopefully that was sorted out Blood and Urinalysis. - long line for the blood test - I was talking with the other applicants. That’s when I found out that you have to pee in the same room with other men for the urinalysis -Anyway, I was getting my blood drawn. The nurse commented that my veins were really small, almost feminine. I had to reassure that it was because I donated blood a few months ago. -Then I went to a bathroom, right next to the blood test, with a window revealing us. A woman or any man waiting at the blood test line could see us potentially. - we got a cup and peed in it half way. The guy in charge of this yelled at us. He said don’t worry fellas, I’ve seen plenty of small bastards.... -We got the results right away for the blood and urinalysis Physical Exam: - I waited in the medical center’s lobby for my physical. - Then they called us, a group of 15 men. - They yelled at us to strip all the way, except for your boxers - I kinda fell while trying to take off my shoe -they took our height and weight. If we weighed too much, we get a body fat test - I passed under the max weight by 8 pounds. Others were ridiculed for their weight. One of the staff told a large man to stop eating McDonalds. They called him a weak person since his will doesn’t prevent his abnormal size. I don’t even thought they’re not even allow to say this anymore - We then got in formation for the physical, 3 rows and each consisting of 5 men -It was 55 degrees in the room since they didn’t want foul order to accumulate - The doctor in charge of the duck walk came 2 hours late - I overheard the staff saying that he was in trouble and being yelled by their boss. I apologize, I’m unsure what the title of the boss for the Chief Medical officer is. -This is pure speculation. I’m ASSUMING it relates with the previous incident I mentioned -During this time we stood in placed for two hours in a cold room. - we talked with the staff about their career. One staff said he was asked back in the 80s, “Do you suck d--k.” You know, cuz the military prohibited gay men from joining - The staff then asked us about the branch we’re applying for and MOS. -Most of them were navy so they praised the one applicant in the room that was navy - Us army applicants were called a herd of sheep. They also ridiculed the army branch as well. That one staff member that was army stood their like 👀. -Then they informed me of......the spreading of your buns. Plus, the finger sticking. I panicked and almost shat myself. -A new doctor came after two hours and supervised us doing maneuvers (swinging arms, duck walk, rotating wrist, lifting our leg and extending it to a lock etc.) -We then sat in chairs waiting for the doctors to perform the actual physical in a private room -I was the 6th in line. These doctors were old and walked really slow. After an hour and a half, I was checked -They checked my ear for any abnormalities -They checked my back by making me touch my toes -They made me flex my toes - I then lay on the bed and they checked my neck, armpits, legs, and arms for problems - Then came the private section - the female doctor called a male chaperone as required by policy - I shows my junk and she touched it, np -Then she told me to turn around, spread them cheeks and bend over.... -I did and luckily got no finger sticking! - I then left the room -I waited at the medical center’s lobby for my results -After ten minutes, I was informed that I passed MEPS - I had to run this through at the main lobby’s central desk where you normally check in/check out -After informing them I went to the NG Liason and handed them the paperwork -In my case, since I’m a minor, didn’t fill a contract that same day. - Instead I waited at the cafeteria and ate food (beef sandwich, an apple, and two cookies) -after two hours my recruiter picked me up and I went home. - I’m awaiting for my recruiter to contact me again. so I can decide the date in which I return to MEPS and make a contract. -Other than that, all went well *Edit* i forgot to post results. I was deemed eligible! I got an 88 on the ASVAB and passed the physical. My MOS will be a 68W. My ship date is set November 18!

My recruiter: have you ever had any medical issues? Me: yes My recruiter: have you ever had any medical issues? Me: yes My recruiter: I’m gonna ask you one more time...have you ever had any medical issues? Me: no? My recruiter: Good job kid welcome to the army😂😂

Doctor: Have you ever smoked marijuana? Me: No. Doctor: Pff, I knew you weren't cool... Me: Now, hold on... *Gets sent home*

Have you ever played sports? "Yes tennis." So you played tennis? "Nope."

1- Have u woken up in the middle of the night to drink water? ...Never 😶 (serious face activated tho) 2- Have u ever tripped and fell? ....what is a trip and how does it fall? lol 3- Have u driven a car? ....What is a car my sir?

My recruiter told me to get in, and get the hell out of MEPS

Ever had a sore throat? -Nope. Ever stubbed your toe? -Nope. Ever had an abnormal fart? -Nope. Nope. Nope. Ever- -Nope.

Make sure you actually listen to them guys "So you have never smoked marijuana?" "No sir" "I thought so"

MEPS is easy, as long as you've never smelled Marijuana

At MEPS for paper work and evaluations.”No,Never,None.”

Toke me 12 hours to go through the process at MEPS, after the swear in though It was all worth it. The pride you have after beats those hours

Oh you have my medical records, are you admitting to a hipaa violation sir?

Meps doc)Have you ever... Me) nope nope nope

hey man you should make a video on how to make a military bed and set your uniform and equipment for the next morning

Here's how to pass MEPS "no sir/no ma'am." Congrats you did it. All the crap about being fined and being sent to prison for fraudulent enlistment is BULLSHIT!! Whatever is on that paper is all they know about you! Stay true to it and listen to your recruiter.

Back when I went to meps, literally about 10 questions in I just said no until he stopped asking questions lol

Doctor:Do you smoke? Me:No Doctor: Have you ever self harmed? Me:No Doctor:Are you straight? Me:No Me:Wait hold on

The absolute best way to pass: Get REALLY good at saying the word 'No'

Meps is a mental game. Dont over think things just relax and you will do fine. Just remember Deny Deny Deny

In meps your favorite word should be No 😅

Give a quick moan when they poke you

The best part about MEPS was how I suddenly got respect after passing. Many doctors and recruiters and workers. They all smiled and I was congratulated left and right like they know either I am an innocent child of god or I have the worlds best poker face.

So i am hearing lie and trust noone

1: Be a unicorn. You've never been to the doctor, never had a surgery, never been sick, no scars, no cuts. 2: If you were like me and needed all the help you could get with weight do no eat the night before. You will get fed midday after your medical eval. 3: Eat breakfast. You will need the brainpower to deal with the meps personnel. 4: Yes sir no sir with everybody you meet. 5: Do not be the first in line at the beginning. I was named private switch the whole day because the desk sgm told me to flip a light switch and I couldn't find it. 6: Don't pee before you get there. My urinalysis was tough because I did. You stand in the bathroom, 5 urinals side by side no coverings and 2 meps personnel watching you at all times. If you go before it'll take you longer. 7: Not really important to pass meps but make friends while you're there. They last a lifetime 8: Like he said in the video meps personnel are not your friends. They try at every chance they get to make you slip up and fail you. Be on alert and watch what you say. I can't really think of anything else. It will seem like a lot once you are there since it starts early in the morning but after you get through it you'll look back and laugh at the memory. June 8th, 2020 I ship to ft leonard wood. 68W

I'm a MEPS veteran, been there 5 times, going on my sixth and final time to ship on August 27th

I passed MEPS medical today! Thanks Matt. Next up Security Clearance.

I probably said “No sir/No ma’am” at least a hundred times while going through MEPS.

They say i have your medical records in there hand I'll be like prove it boiiiii lol

Doctor:Good morning Me:No Sir Doctor:ok?😅 Instructor:Congratulations soldier you did it Me:No sir!!!

If you broke your pinky toe when you were 9, don’t put that on there. If you’ve had a heart transplant when you were 13, you NEED to put that down. They will try to get you to tell on yourself. Always stick by your story. If you are unsure about something, talk to your recruiter and he will advise you on what to do. Best of luck for people going to MEPS. The only thing MEPS knows about you is on the papers you fill out. Don’t give them anything they don’t need to know.

I remember my recruiter and their chief telling me to say no to everything. Even if I thought I had it, just say no. The only medical records they have of you are the ones you give them. So unless it’s very obvious that you have the condition, just say no.

Thank you man, i look forward to your videos every day and appreciate the advice and information you provide in each video

It’s awesome how much information you have to offer to all of us wanting to enlist. It’s really cool. It has taken a lot of stress off of me. Thank you

Meps should be handled like drugs...just say no kids. Mmkay 😅

I spent 8 hours at MEPS yesterday and made it to the final medical exam, the Doc wouldn't clear me to ship because I have a bruise on my big toe....wtf!!? Word of advice to anyone planning on going to MEPS: if you have any noticeable bruises,cuts or bumps you are better off waiting until they heal because the Doc could very well fail you just for that.

Never actually seen someone fail meps. One guy had a pocket knife in his bag that he forgot about but he was supposed to be shipping that day, needless to say he didn't ship.

MEPS was borring. Im actually at Ohare airport heading to Basic Trainning NOW haha Ft Lenardwood 31B thanks for all your advice im confident ill make it now.

Just say NO for everything unless you wear eye glasses .. period ! Listen to you’re recruiter and dont be that idiot who is trying to be honest abe

Thanks for all of these videos man, I’m just waiting on a waiver for my eczema and hopefully I’ll be at meps in the next two weeks!

Thank you for making it clear. I was one of those people that failed meps, told the docter that i had mild depression which was stated in my medical record. I not depressed in an way any more as it grew out of me.

Thank you for the tips and advice. This is going to be really helpful when I go to MEPS tomorrow.

I'm in the middle of this now lol. I went to MEPS and on one sheet they have you put what medicines or supplements you took in the last 24 hours to make sure it doesn't interfere with your urine test. I put down that I took Excedrin Migraine. The doctors saw that and I was failed due to migraines. I was told to wait 6 months (which will be mid February) to go to a doctor for evaluation and then can appeal. My recruiter said since I've never been hospitalized for it, don't take prescriptions, and my vision is not impaired with them that I should be fine. So yes, they will try to fail you

So you’re saying that 90% of the people lied at MEPS to pass? We would have few people in the military if we all told the truth at MEPS is what you’re saying? My recruiter is fighting hard for me, and he’s coaching me lol. All because I have a birth defect where I have limited hearing in one of my ear. Im just going to press the button for the hearing test even if I don’t hear shit

MEPS is definitely stressful. I was worried about doing something wrong the whole time. Made it through and swore in! Active duty 13J.

Damn this man is a real one! Telling us so many tips!

I've gone to MEPS twice. Just be prepared to get clowned by everyone. Everyone is mean. The doctors look 100+ years old. lol idk I liked being there

Even after your shipped out at reception there going to pressure everyone again if they lied lol

Appreciate this man I meet w my recruiter soon before I got to meps and this covered most of the questions I had for her

Also why are your videos so good? I can't stop watching them. I've been watching your videos for the past hour or two

Meps on Tuesday!!! I cant wait to get started with my career! You have helped me so much man. Thank you so much

Just passed my MEPS exam 8/16/19!! Now to finish my packet then set up a board interview. I'm so excited about joining the Army! Your videos keep me pumped up!

I go to MEPS in a week. Im joining the Navy and I am really excited. This video summed up my worries. Thanks

Great video man, thanks for the info! I’ll be hitting MEPS in two days

Don’t worry about MEPS at all!!!! Just got home from St. Louis MEPS yesterday, not bad at all. Simple easy process. Everything goes smooth

I'm glad I fanatically stayed clean during high school.

Thank you. Awesome to hear this. I just starting my adventure.

Great video Matt! Going AF swore in last week

Shy bladder sucks, it’s a thing that people don’t realize how hard this really is to deal with unless you have problems with it.

Honestly I was thinking how absolutely detrimental mentally it has to be for the guy who's job it is to stare at ass cracks all day at MEPS

Good advice. Just stay true guys and girls, it is what it is if there’s certain things that are in the past but aren’t on paper and will not come up in the future and also are not not part of you anymore then it didn’t happen. Get through the process. Stay true. Serve. Good luck

I go to Meps tomorrow. Should be fun. Glad I saw this video, Thanks bro👍🏻

Thanks for your service and all the tips man, really. I’ve been watching your stuff religiously. I leave for MEPS in an hour so it feels like you uploading this yesterday was fate or something😂

Going to MEPS tomorrow and I'm a bundle of nerves. Thank you for the warning about the threat of jail, I'm glad I know that they'll do that. I'm going to be so glad when it's over. Thanks for all the awesome content, Matt!

In the airport on my way to meps right now!! This really helped! Thank you!

That's what I figured. I'll be going soon just researching things to expect. Thanks for replying

I'm currently in the hotel the night before MEPS. I've been stressing about it, but I feel a bit better now. Really appreciate it!

I appreciate the video, Matt! Already failed MEPS once before I saw your video!

Awesome videos with a lot of info! Thanks bro!

Just completed Miami Meps. This video helped a ton. Thanks!

Even if they ask if you ever had a headache say no.

I got 11X and swore in...im leaving for Fort Benning in 2 weeks

Thanks for the video. Very good stuff to know before I go!

this literally put me at ease thank you so much

This was sooo helpful I’m going to meps on Monday

I’m enlisting in the Army Reserves & go to MEPS next week and have been FRANTIC over getting through it 😭, thanks so much for the insight!

Thank you for your service Matt and Salute you brother I’ll be going to Meps Wednesday this week wish me luck

I'm going this Monday bro thanks for the advice👍🏽

Never fall sleep in there. They dont like that

Going in as 19D I leave for MEPS in June thanks for the info man the way I take it just say no to everything

I just got through. Meps was legit the funniest day of my entire life. The people watching at meps is the best I’ve ever seen.

Matt ward thanks for this video sir it will help me out and i like your videos God bless you

Fun fact: I requested my processing be put on hold _Mid MEPS interview_ so I could be sure of a discrepancy that came up. Upon returning, the one Marine asked firmly if I was gunna get "Kicked out " again. I opened my mouth to correct him, but my brain is larger than my ego, so all that came out was a firm "No sir". He nodded and went back to work, and I took the oath 9 hours later.

Just made it through meps today, signed as an 11B for national guard. It really wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.

Heading today, thanks so much man!

I’m about to go through the process for 31b, i appreciate the helpful vid!

I’m going in like a Juggernaut. It’s taken me nearly 4 years to get to this point, because the amount of wavers and paper work I got. Everything they could require, from when I had braces to me getting a psych evaluation, I got cleared before MEPS.

So, from what I’m learning from the video and comments, just say no to everything besides if I need glasses or not 😂 got it!

going to meps on wednesday into thursday. can’t wait to just get to basic and complete that!

Thanks for the video. Some great advice

>be me >go to MEPS at 0530 >tries to stay awake at MEPS >gets called to see with a physician >goes in physician office >the doctor gets pissed for not saying gm >starts insulting me by using big words >accidentally says "shithead" beneath my breathe >doctor hears >gets sent back home for a week >mfw Edit : In all seriousness though, I did mess up on the first time I went to MEPS. Simply because I've never gotten up 3 in the morning in my life to go to a place where everything is stricter than my Aunt's house when I was 3. It was an interesting experience honestly. A week later, I went back to complete the rest of the tests that I haven't completed. Everything went smoothly. I get qualified, I pick my MOS and got my ship date on July 2nd. Thanks for all the help you provided Matt.

I'll try my best not to fail My folks worked hard for us to move to this country so I have nothing to loose. I'm in my early 20s and want to get in.

I love you bro thanks for the service and helpful videos

a true video finally for once about MEPS than you man so many people have these bs videos about MEPS
