I'm a MEPS veteran, been there like 6 times lmao.
ShowtimeMahomes no fucking way lmfao!!
ShowtimeMahomes u ever pass lmao
How
What the heck did you do brodie?
😂😂😂
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.
Meps was a cake walk lol. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t suck absolute ass shit
i’m at the hotel currently. going to MEPS tomorrow morning (Friday) hopefully I have the same circumstances as you did 😂🙏🏽
@@monclercoat7814 you taking your test or physical?
@@snooopybud4034 I took the ASVAB today and scored a 66 , i’m going tomorrow morning (4am😭) to MEPS and will do my physicals all of the such things , can you offer any advice ?
@@monclercoat7814 My bad I think you’re asleep already whoops😂The physical ain’t that bad, it’s pretty easy just follow directions and you’ll be fine. Do make sure you drink a shit ton of water for when they urine test you though. I was pee shy so I had to drink a lot of water
I died laughing at the breathalizer part cause my recruiter told me about how he went to meps hungover😂
How did he pass
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.
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
Here because I’m preparing for MEPS... 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Bruh im in the hotel rn watching this
So huge fuckin tip, they ask if you want coffee, DONT DRINK THE COFFEE i was shitting my brains out until i awoke at 3AM just to get a wake up call on the hotel phone at 4! And with the whole lying thing, dont lie if you have like asthma or something but dont mention stuff you dont have to and if they arent uptight they will pass you, biggest thing is saying yes and thank you alot, and BY GOD do not fall asleep during MEPS
Same
@@dennisjohnson8688 LOL ok thanks for the advice bro!
This comment was hard as fuck to read
me too bro , also you have the exact same name as my stepdad 😂
I really appreciate this video. Im about to join and meet with the recruiter this week. This made me feel more confident moving forward.
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
What did you do to drop all that weight? And how long did it take?
Dwayne Andrews basically just don’t eat a lot nutrition is key I was 180 before corona now I weigh 220 ish safe weigh loss is 3-5lbs per week. Now just do the math, make sure you exercise and take protein (preferably foods chicken breast meat etc high protein low fat) to maintain muscle while loosing weight I need about 2 months to loose 40 lbs not gonna lie it’s hard bc I got use to eating a lot and not exercising and now when I exercise and have a calorie deficit I’m hungry ash water is your friend and vegetables eat as much as you want to keep you full. Hope it helps
@@dannysapon7183 This is exactly where I'm at right now. Going from 240lbs to 185lbs restricting to 1800 calories/day sucks lol. Ty for the tips though.
I got 80 pounds to go im 280 i am tryna lose that by I turn 26 in October or sooner
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
It’s 4 in the morning & I’m going in like 2 hours watching this lol
Same
Good luck!!
How was it
Just a Yeti with WiFi It was easy, I didn’t get asked any extra questions to make me stumble or anything. Just a very patient process.😩
@@nayski8585 ok thanks when are you shipping out
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
Great video man, good work
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! Love the video 🔥
Like always , great videos !
I can’t thank you enough brother. Definitely calmed my nerves.
I am good. I am good. I am good.
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 man you made me a lot more comfortable
The Best Military TH-camr Tournament is going to be happening in September guys! I’d love it if you’d vote for me when the time comes! 💯🎉🇺🇸
I’m heading to meps tomorrow I’m so glad that you’ve done this video
Charles Sorden did you pass?
THANK YOU SO Much! I have hearing loss in my ears and this helped me
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)
Just have to say wow. That's what I call CUTT'N!
Hey bro that is awesome. How long did that take you to lose? I'm in the same boat. Going from 245-185.
This is basically me I was 290 in January and now I'm 232. I need to lose like 10-30 (I'm 6'3) bc I'm really towing the line on the limits.
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 ❤️
My math skills are shitty what should I study for as far as math and what type of math is it
@@MazingPersuasion This website sums up the majority of it and it is the most accurate as far as what you’ll be tested on in the math part (both arithmetic and knowledge)
www.dummies.com/test-prep/asvab-test/acing-the-math-subtests-of-the-asvab-afqt/
I was not and still not good at math when I took the test but looking back, I wish I would have studied this website I mentioned. All the other websites I studied from were out dated and didn’t help much. Also I would mainly focus on knowing how to apply the formulas. The type of math is just school math but it’s covered in the website.
Hope this helps & good luck! 👍
Hey Dude, I was cleared from a spermatocele ( Small cyst on testicle ) by my doctor. He said it was benign and would not cause pain.
Now when you said they touched your private area, How long did it truly take? Did they feel for stuff? Thanks
What was the physical section like?
Do the Meps doctors have access to all your records. Medical records, or it’s only what you tell them.¿
I am stressing out over meps so bad right now really needed to see this thanks
thank you for being so helpful
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!!
Me too man i’m joining the Marines goin to MEPS tomorrow
How was it yall? I just enlisted this past Wednesday I go tomorrow for the practice test and I'm nervous just about that
Did u make it
thank you man. you make me feel relieved. going at MEPS next monday. goodluck to me.
How did go? Lol.
Appreciate it bronelius
this helped ease my mind, i’m going to meps in like 10 days
Whatever they ask, say "No maam" you've never done drugs,never been suspended or expelled from school,never broken a bone (Unless you've gotten surgery on that broken bone),never had any mental problems....Say yes to glasses if you wear them,if you've been arrested (IF) you still have the charges on your record.They DO NOT have access to medical records,or school records passed,they can't tell you've done any drugs,unless you fail urinalysis.Be calm during the hearing test,for it is easy to fail because all you'll hear is the beat of your heart.
My recruiter told me that if there’s not a scar for a broken bone then it didn’t happen🤷🏽♂️😂
im 2 months late so sorry for this, but if you told you’re recruiter about broken bones or surgery when you get to meps do you just straight lie or what ?
Nadia future Army women Cross gotcha
Nadia future Army women Cross alright dope, the best advice i got was to keep my mouth shut unless told otherwise, so thats what i plan on, good luck on your test
@@djbdyckfbsgsg9176 No you tell meps what you told your recruiter. Buy if its not on a database somewhere like theft or something then it never happens. Because if you do bring it up then that would only prolong the process.
I broke my collarbone when I was a kid, (dirt bike accident) which required surgery so I have a scar. My recruiter told me to tell them I got slashed by a broken stick while riding through the Forrest. 😂😂😂 I go to meps on Thursday so we shall see. Already took the asvab just need the physical done
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.
This helped a lot thank you
This really helped, thank you, my recruiter seems trustworthy and good. She's been saying I should be just fine with a waiver
I’m going to Meps next Tuesday I guess I’m glad I watched this
Ben Allen you the man fam! Enjoy your content, please keep posting!
Cheese Stinky i definitely will!
I go tomorrow this video helped ease mind!
Best video on TH-cam
This is very helpful lol i go Tuesday do take my asvab and armory for the Navy
Thank you brother good man
I’m at the hotel rn they will NOT break me😭Going for airborne infantry wish me luck
So?
How'd it go? lol
He died
I have a confession guys but I can explain:) they wouldn’t give me airborne Nd tried to get me shipped out w a whole new mos w airborne so I backed out n ended up joining the navy as a Seabee BU don’t hate me
I ship out feb 9
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.
going tomorrow this video helped a lot thanks Ben!
CooperVlogs__ pray to god and look in the mirror and then say (I can do it) and practice a blank face
CooperVlogs__ the second day don’t tell them anything they’ll play mind games to get you to tell anything
I passed!
CooperVlogs__ congrats what your mos and ship daTe
31 B January 27th brotha
Late but I’m going tomorrow. Thanks man. Trying to be an Army 68W
❤️!
Forgot to mention. Got thru and sworn in as a 68W! Shipping out in September!
@@brianlieb3515 how are u
Thank you sir.
This got me a lil relief about this. Lol
Going next Thursday.
How did it go?
Hey can you make a video on waivers? I’m going to meps next week and I wanna know how getting a waiver works👍🏼
I leave for MEPS tomorrow 💀 thank you for this 🙏🏻
I know im 3 months late, but definitely make a video about waivers please.
I’m at MEPS rn I do the medical stuff tomorrow. Here’s to passing first try!!
My recruiter seemed really interested when I showed him the lost of questions I had. Lol. I leave for basic tomorrow :D
How was basic?
@@lieutenantpliskin Wasn't that bad if you don't mind getting fucked for other peoples mistakes
@@Saito.P lmao sounds right dam private piles
Thanks for the video. I go to MEPS in 2 days!
How did it go man?
It was easy peasy. The doctors were funny with all the intimidation.
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.
What would you recommend for the long waiting time, and about what they ask you for the physical?
@@centauria9122 the physical is pretty standard. You can bring a book, and you could easily sneak your phone but you would only be able to use it in the bathroom
Please do a video on studying for the Asvab. Thanks
I will take my asvab the 7th I’m so excited
I’m enlisting on Monday and I’ll be going to meps soon lol
Hey Ben,👋🏾
Could you please do a video on the Asvab? I’m planning to take mine next month
U end up passing??
@@damaribrackett1159 Agreed
Going to meps next week for my physical! Army infantry all the way🇺🇲
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.
Doing my Medical on Tuesday wish me luck I finally passed the asvab after 5 attempts. Pass with a 38 , going for MP
I'll be there on tuesday.. Wish me luck boys!
I’ll be going Wednesday. I’ll suffer through it with you.
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?
Don’t bring it up lol
Don’t talk about it
@@blakedrew2772 got it lol
Don’t swallow
It’s a joke chill all love
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.
I have a buddy who leaves the 24th also! Best of luck to you!
Yo how was it?
?
Going to Meps in Seattle WA tomorrow 😧!
How was that? Im in WA also and got meps on Tuesday.
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.
Same thing happened to me I’m now waiting for Dr. clearance, I didn’t ask my doctor for a clearance the first time he did a ekg on me and now meps want a clearance but my doctor refused to give me a clearance letter because he say it’s been over 3 months since I had it done he want me to do another one ekg.
luna sunny sorry to hear man my 3 year contract is finally up in November so I’m almost out now but just letting you know even after at meps at basic training before deployment even every year they do a periodic health assessment they are going to take your blood pressure heart rate so it’s something that your going to need to eventually get over anyway best of luck hope it all works out for you.
Jon Ronan thank you so much
It’s like at home it’s normal as soon I step out to the doctor office it went up I wasn’t like that before but I need to fix that.
luna sunny yeah I was the exact same way I wish I could give you advice but I know that saying “ just relax” doesn’t work if not even makes it worse but good luck
Jon Ronan thank you so much again
I passed meps and I leave September 23 and it was not hard at all
Rosalind Carrllo 11x?
Except for the part where they grab your balls and spread your cheeks that sucked lmao
Jonathan DeLeon you fr? I got my meps in like a day
Jonathan DeLeon That part wasn’t that stressful at all. Had a pretty funny doctor so that probably explains it. It’s over in like 15 seconds.
DUUUUUUUUDE my leave is in sep 23 2020
Noice 👌
Waiver video, yes please.
yes I would like to see video on waivers
Literally In my hotel room bed watching this🙏🏼
Update, passed🙏🏼 68W
@@cameronvaughn103 nice
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.
Going to MEPS on Tuesday. I have been a little worried about it lol. Thank you for this video.
Howd it go

@@danielsamiec6270 nice! Did you choose ya job and swear in too?
@@kaiya9599 Not quite yet; soon though. I’m set to take a DLAB. If I do well, I’ll probably do Signal Intelligence Voice Interceptor.
@@danielsamiec6270 ahhh nice nice. Good for you 👏🏽👏🏽
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 😂
A waiver is just something so you cant claim it as service connected when you exit the military.
Do the waiver video!
Thank you for making this video. I have been considering enlisting in the Army since I was 13 (I'm 24 now), and my biggest concern (outside of scoring really low on the ASVAB) has been not passing the MEPS. Thank you for putting my mind at ease about it. Now I've got to figure out how to break the news to my parents that I want to join the military....
You are old enough. It's your decision.
I already broke the news to my family about me wanting to join, and it all went well, took my ASVAB test, scored a 54, and now prepping to go to MEPS sometime in February. I'm nervous as well, and hope to pass it the 1st time. How are you making out?
Do a video on the Asvab study tips
get the asvab app on your phone so you can do it wherever/whenever.. also get a book it’s on amazon as well as asvab flash cards they have one with each section !
I was in and out of meps in one day. Early morning and on the bus to parris Island the same night.
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
I wish i would have watched this when I first went to MEPS. I passed btw
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.
Great video " ya know what I mean" lol
Going to MEPS on Monday! Nervous but excited for a new start for my future!
Good Luck!
Hailee Sykes so am i 💯
Brandon Smith hell yeah!!
@@haileesykes604 😂💯
@@haileesykes604 Good luck today
5 years ago when I went to meps my roommate told me he just smoked and was wondering if they were gonna drug test😭😭😭
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 MEPS Monday morning, wish me luck!
Going to MEPS in 3 days #GoArmy #ArmyStrong
I go to MEPs next week this helped me calm down 🤣🤣
Don’t take coffee
I will be scheduled in 3 weeks to Process MEPS - AIR FORCE .
I am enlisting next week in the Army National Guard, this video definitely was reassuring. To be honest I'm more nervous with the ASVAB than MEPS.
Yo have you enlisted
Me too bro , we got this

@@jakep405 congrats bro I take the pcat this Monday, hopefully I pass and will enlist soon
@@jakep405 for the asvab are the questions the same as the asvab books ?
I got to meps this afternoon hopefully they get my seat soon for enlistment
Going to meps next week :x
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
Headed to meps tomorrow going in for 19d wish me luck
Meps is pretty easy as long as u clean
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
I had surgery on my torn meniscus
I go to see a recruiter for the Army in a couple of days. I have already talked to him about my only medical problem. I fractured my left femur bone from an accident when I was like 6 (I'm 19 now) I do have a titanium rod still in my leg and a scar from surgery and a scar by my knee from the accident it didn't hurt my knee. the leg has never given me a problem since it healed like a year after the accident. And I was even cleared in middle school and high school to play football. I have always wanted to join and I was always afraid I was going to get disqualified because of this. What do you think the chances are for me to get a waiver and make it through MEPS? Thanks for all your great content and hopefully I will be a future soldier in the Army.
If it doesn’t hurt or affect you just lie to them if they ask about it
Mostly my weight; especially with the covid this making gym workout hard to imposible
