"And you're ass, you're gonna wanna clean that out" I literally almost shit my pants laughing. He said that so unintentionally funny I didn't even know how to deal with it.
+ARCH V5AT damn thats new, but go get them. At least the Kurdish forces are actually fighting and not doing ineffective airstrikes. Im waiting for the US to send in troops thats the only way to get it done
Dude your detail is still saving people today haha. Thanks for letting me know i have no need to ask if last time I was honest about smoking before matters this time talking again one year later
Youre video helped me ease my stress man, lol i took anti depressants back in the day, when you said medical records are hidden, i screamed "fuck yes" hahaha thanks for the video semper fi
No they aren't. The Marines will look into your medical history no matter what. If you still take pills, you cannot enlist. If you do NOT take the pills anymore, within the past 1year before you enlist, you can. You should be good even if you show them you medical stuff.
lol this was hilarious. I go to meps first monday of october next month for the marines, i feel much more relaxed about it having watched this.. Thanks.
for the ASVAb section about the shapes its called Object Assembly its pretty easy for me I can get 100% well before the time is out. at least for me. Just pick a single shape thats the most obvious and see if it looks how it does with the shapes jumbled
I'm going to meps soon and have been super stressed about it, I hate doctors and always get nervous and my blood pressure goes through the roof. hoping I can control it and not have to go through the whole waiver bullshit. this video really helped. thank you!
Hey everyone we are now on Facebook! We look forward to sharing more of our lives with all of you, along with reviews, firearms training, and much more! Follow us at Americanstrong5!
I've been prescribed anti depressants in the past and i've been to counseling after my dad died. I have a letter from my doctor saying I don't need them anymore and i'm not depressed, i've wanted to be in the military my whole life I hope I can get through meps with this.
When i went to meps there was a chunky kid joining the army and he kept making fun of the marine corps and the kids joining. Including myself. Then he said he was joining the green berets and he said berets like something a little girl puts in their hair we all just lauged and he walked away.
So I need advice on something, I was approached by my recruiter in high school and he asked if I want to join, told him I don't think I could because my leg length discrepancy, now at the time I didn't exactly know the measurements difference between my legs and recently found out that there are three centimeters different. Now I had done a doc appointment since I was told to do in order to go to MEPS was that he said I would be disqualified. Now should I go ahead and do MEPS or just take it as it is and accept that I have been disqualified since the doctor said I would?
If you plan on going from enlisted to officer, how thoroughly will they dig through your medical history for non life threatening nor debilitating scars with or without stitch marks.
kindof true you cant be discharged at meps they will basically send you to home to get a waver from your doc. saying whatever it was is ok for the military, this will just slow ur proces
Ok so, I had an fungal infection a whole back, and it has healed completely but had left black scars on my body ALMOST EVERYWHERE, Will I be disqualified or is this something I need to take up with my recruiter? (I'm an African American)
So let's say you had asthma but really never had any problems for about 5 years, I didn't bring any paper work stating that I had asthma. Will they still check to see if I have any medical issues?
@dino b, they started dqing people with ear wax recently lol, tinnitus is usually a indicator of hearing loss, they will check if your tinnitus can pass the hearing test, did you go to an audiologist to get your hearing checked?
Hey Americanstrong5 I was at MEPS a couple months ago and was wondering what I digitally signed while I was in the Liaison's office. I asked the Liaison what it was and he told me "Don't worry it's nothing", but it was like 7 pages that flashed across the screen that were digitally signed.
What do you wanna know about the asvab? also For the Marines you dont pick a job at meps you pick a job at your recruiting office then they send it up to meps.
hey man im going to meps really soon, all i have is a back ground of having adhd medication. i dont need it my parents thought it would help me in school. but i did better with out the medication. i just dont want them intimidating me into saying something by accident. hopefully i get through it just fine. any tips
personally i haven't gone, but people have told me they didn't get their teeth checked that was during basic/boot camp. but some other people said they examine you head to toe so i guess it depends on where you go/where you live
Do they take xrays? Might have gotten a slipped disc 4 yrs ago it hurt pretty good. Didnt see a doc just rode out the pain.. I feel a little discomfort now and again but its nothing severe or painful. Im active with exercise and it does not interfere with my motion abilities what so ever.. is it a diqualifier? Dont want to mention it and im certain theres no way they will know just by looking unless they take xrays. Please get back to me..
+Christopher Hall I definitely agree with you, for all you know when you are under all that physical stress of rucking and stuff it could just completely blow out. Then you end up with a discharge.
on their foods watch what you eat, nothing that will make you sick or push blood pressure up. nothing fried and have a decent amount of fluids to clean out your system but not too much to make you pack on too many pounds.
Just curious what if I don't mention it, I haven't yet went to meps because I'm waiting for an endorsement for my tattoo waiver then. as soon as I get it' I'll be doing meps. , then the endorsement will be sent to the head quarters.. The reason I'm stating all of this is because I'm already waiting for approval for a tattoo waiver that goes above my collar bone but doesnt appear in any of the uniform nd may give me a problem I don't know if it would be bright to mention it.. Should I be worried?
PLEASE answer my question because I'm worried a lot.. my mouth is crooked when I open my mouth wide but it doesn't hurt and I didn't get any surgeries for it because I was just born like that. It doesn't affect my life in any way. Can I be disqualified because of this?
+Americanstrong5 that's good to hear! I am nervous because my recruiter told me to not tell the doctor about it. I'm joining as MAVNI program so this is my first and the last chance to get into the army. anyways thank you :)
I have asthma I have been working out constantly and even got a steroid inhaler and since then my asthma has improved I'm 13 by the time I can enlist I guarantee it will be completely gone but I don't know if I will still be able to join
Just have to ask because I'm seeing all these different things. I'm trying to get into the marine corps and I'm supposed to be going to meps sometime in June and in the video you said they can't pull up your medical records but if you have a criminal background they will see that, but I see in the comments you're saying that they will pull your medical records. Just not really clear on what is right
did you have it removed? if so how long? if it was not removed then no. you will have to get a discharge paper from your doctor stating " cyst no need for removal' ...
I wasn't on anti depressants but my recruiter did ask have I ever been to a physiatrist and was I on anti depressants. I wasn't on anti depressants but he said I'm qualified so you should be ok. He didn't make it seem like it would be a big deal. Good Luck.
what branch u going into first of all because diff. branchs dont care as much, but at meps they pull ur crimnal recard talk to ur recruiter if he said it wont matter then it dosent but make sure he knows dont keep shit from them and they will help u out
Hey man my recruiter said I had to do 34 push ups under 2 minutes and 44 curl ups also under 2 minutes at MEPS is this true ? I can't do 44 curl ups yet. Also I already took the asvab ? At the recruiting station and got a 48 score GT of 105 and MM 103
As long as you can get corrected to 20/20 it will be fine; however, I do recommend getting a new pair of glasses just before, you have to pass the depth perception test or else you would need to go through another process to get your eye checked out. Made that mistake... Now have to wait another week... great...
@@dogestranding5047Yes you can, just be honest about it, as long as your vision is corrected to 20/20 be it glasses or contacts you'll be fine. Remember the key thing is HONESTY!!
Hello, can you inbox me? I just told my recruiter that I had Lyme disease when I was 9 now 25 was that a bad thing? Cuz I was told that they can and will look at your medical history, and that they do test for that, was that the wrong move? And does that now mean I will be DQ?
I'm nervous as fuck I go to meps soon and I'm so scared I'm gunna fail the ASVAB I'm not very smart at all. I'm bad at math. But I know all about tools and stuff cause I did woods so hopefully I can excel in that part. I'm scared as fuck man.
Alixx Jackson yeah. you cant just use laundry bleach though. You need to buy a skin cream that has bleach in it. theyre pretty easy to find on the internet.
