Such a thing comes down to the individual.

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

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

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 ❤️

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.

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.
