Bruh this intro gets me every time 😂 Getting ready for MEPS means you'll also be getting ready for Air Force PT. Don't worry, we've got you covered, check out the PT requirements here: www.airmanvision.com/bmt#air-force-pt-test

Hey y’all!! I finally made it through meps!! I watched this video so many times to get ready for the “ underwear Olympics” and was so sad to find out that back in March ‘22 they don’t have you do it as one big group. It’s one on one with the doctor. Thank y’all so much for your videos!!

@captaineric5276 Год назад

I came back from MEPS today and I could say the same thing. Just one on one with the doctor in a small room. I barely even did the duck walk and he just had me stand and hop on each leg twice, nothing else. I had a very easy process thankfully.

@anthonyfletcher8053 8 месяцев назад

@@thiagogregory1honestly, it depends if they’re satisfied. It’s usually about 5-6 ft turn around and go back. I had to do it so many times I couldn’t bc my legs were burning. Doc passed me but said I need to work on it before I go to MEPs, this was like a mini meps.

@@carlamartinez9095 I passed, ending up swearing in on May 10th. And honestly? Better than I expected. It did take all day of course BUT, it goes by sort of fast when you’re not thinking about it. There was no particular order that we did anything in. (I went to the Dallas MEPS) just be honest and straightforward, make sure you follow directions (they love that lol, definitely utilize ma’am and sir) they changed a lot of things up so a few things mentioned in the video, didn’t happen for me, but then again every MEPS location is different so you might encounter some things that I didn’t. If you drove or getting dropped off, make sure you’re first in line, trust me. If you’re riding the shuttle, sit as close to the front as you can so you sorta be in the front, hope this helps!

@LauderdaleJoeM 3 года назад

We had 35-40 boys in white underwear duck-walking 1 behind another in rows, staying in same speed. Very awkward physical event, as it's not a thing guys do/talk about. Girls talk about everything, espec in public bathrooms & they don't care about how odd a duckwalk of 6 females (u said) is done together. 17-19 yo guys are worried about different things like being embarrassed by military & medical staff walking like ducks. (Me & my peers got into boxers & fancier underwear in college/during ANG svs concurrently).
