Just got back from meps. Passed everything which it wasn’t crazy how a lot of people say. Just quite nerve wrecking because you don’t want to mess up lol. Congrats though on everything!!
Fellow Air Force Veteran Thank You for your Service . You were smart staying in to retire . I regret I didn't do the same as you did . At least I'm a VA Retiree besides being a Veteran .
I finished with MEPS yesterday. Your videos are ON POINT!!! Thanks for providing the information & the heads up for what to expect. Good luck with your future career in the Air Force.
So did MEPS mention to females and Males that if you have a medical history like seizures and if you don’t have anymore seizures by a citizen doctor so would MEPS accept a recommendation letter from your doctor saying okay this person is cleared to join the Military and I’m a son of a former DEA agent and so would MEPS accept the recommendation letter because I’m gonna visit my Neurosurgeon doctor and I go to the doctors appointment at Saint Francis Hospital in Hawaii and I don’t wear glasses at all and I have a good eye a site and so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note 📝 saying that this person is cleared to train and like I said I don’t wear glasses and I don’t need contacts never did so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note and so did you know if they said that you could bring a doctors note or can only the recruiter take the recommendation letter from your doctor and so did they say that you can bring a doctors note 📝 and I’m used to the blood drawn though and so does MEPS accept the doctors note 📝? and does it have to be from a doctor that knows you and checked on your stuff for medical 🏥 and saying that he’s cleared and so does MEPS accept a doctors note ?
I absolutely love your hair in this video. I love the length. It suits you so much and it looks so healthy. You look stunning. I am loving these videos. I'm sure you are educating and helping people out so much by doing these. I have the most respect for our military.
Fantastic video!!! I went through MEPS 25 years ago in Phoenix, AZ and this is pretty much exactly as I remember. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. 😊

I have to say that right before I enlisted I was so NERVOUS that instead of initialing I actually signed my name 3 times on my contract that I had a Staff Sergeant and she was so AWESOME got me to calm down finally after I took a couple of deep breaths and drank some water I was able to get it done. As an Army Veteran THANK YOU for your service!
When I went to MEPS, we had to be in the hotel lobby by 3:30am so we could arrive at the locked front gate of MEPS by 4:00 because we didn’t want to feel rushed before the parking lot opened at 5:30. Then we stood in the doorway til 6:00. I don’t remember feeling great about it.
Glad to see this I’m going to meps tomorrow for the national guard. Really calmed my nerves and helped give a better understanding of how the days will go
This was really helpful. I am currently enlisting in the Air Guard and this eased my nerves about the medical part of meps. Love your content. Thank you so much.
I got disqualified for a having astigmatism in my left eye today. It had to be 0 and under and I had -3.75. I passed everything else but ofc it had to be my left eye. It is honestly heart-breaking because its something i cant control and it will affect my process for any branch i want to switch to .They sent my meps records to the af surgeon general. Its my last hope to to swear in, and if they say no its this whole thing is pretty much done for me. Im honestly just so bummed out. I really thought I was going to swear in today
@jack fox Pretty easy. The workers tell you what to do, and pretty much do the work for you. Thankfully they don't check prostate 😂 If you got any questions lmk
@jack fox No, I was healthy going in. If it's not submitted in your MEPS packet by your Recruiter, don't talk about it. They aren't there to disqualify you, but they also are signing off on you, so they're picky.
My Meps experience was chill. It was a Thursday so I’m guessing they were trying to get out. But everyone was super nice. During the urine test me and this other guy could not piss. So when we walked out we told this other nurse we couldn’t piss. And she said, “boy if I was in there with you I would kick you right in your blatter.”
True. But I came to MEPS in '92 & had no ADVICE. I ţook ASVAB in high school, & drove to MEPS & got it all done in 1 day, then drove home (Chicago). If u document BMT, like u did for MEPS, you'll have a 7-volume Encyclopedia-type of product! Our TIs barred airmen from writing a calendar anywhere. They didn't want our focus on that, wierd.
Thank you so much, sis! My MEPS is tomorrow (Navy Medical) and my recruiter gave me barely any information on what to wear/expect/do ect. That's where I decided to research on my own and found your videos! So again, thank you for taking your time to make these videos. I wonder if swearing in at MEPS is universal. I have it in my mind that I swear in only after my whole packet is submitted (after MEPS) and then I'll be called back to swear in. But Hey! If it gets done while I'm there, perfect lol.
When I went to MEPS, we got soaked going in because the weather was absolutely crazy. We were wet and freezing so the underwear olympics was the best part because we were finally warm and dry 🤣
I’m going 31 kilo for the army and I got through MEPS just two days ago but biggest advice I can give everyone in the morning before going to MEPS is at the hotel please drink a bottle of water so you have to pee at MEPS I saw a Marine get DQ’ED for not being able to pee
I completely agree with what you said about MEPS. I went through my day two November 30th, 2023 in Montgomery Alabama. It sucked through the whole process, but I passed and enlisted into the Navy. I have my ship date. They did do a breathalyzer when we showed up. My most nervous part was the medical interview.
When I went to meps about a week ago, they recorded every swear-in ceremony on Facebook live and you just had to sign a consent form if you wanted to be included. So I guess it varies depending on what meps you go to.
Had a dude who needed a waiver causa he was missing a testical lmfao I got done with meps yesterday! now time to get ready for bootcamp need to hit above the pft numbers!!
nice to see you got done with meps the duck walk I did was so awful for my group I was sore for a few days but I like the breakfast and subway sandwiches I got for lunch
@@malignant3423 hahaha, well for me I was in a room with like 6 girls and we all did it at the same time..it would probably be way more awkward if people were just standing there watching haha
I'm so glad I just had a yogurt n granola for breakfast sadly it didn't last me super long before lunch time so something a lil extra might of been better especially for the blood draw n doing so much before your next meal
YES! you do! It was such a small part that I had completely forgotten about it! I am not sure why, maybe to make sure we don't have a speech impediment?? But you just read a paragraph out loud and that is it. They don't mark anything down on your paper for it or anything
I didn't know they tested your vision with your glasses ON AND OFF, thought it was just off! I have an old prescription, should I be worried? Thank you so much for the video! Any advice when it comes to trying to find medical records from 10+ years ago and maybe you can't obtain them? I was given an inhaler that I never used but I would think I still need to disclose that! 23:05 "I have a pregnancy implant" lmaoooo
They actually cannot obtain those records due to HIPPA, basically they cannot see or get ahold of any previous medical records without your permission. My suggestion DO NOT even mention it!
I have a question. I was born 6 weeks early being 1lb 10oz and I had surgery when I was 2 weeks old, and I have a scar on my back from it. Will that disqualify me from passing MEPs? I haven't had any complications since then. I told my recruiter about it and he had told me that I needed documentation for the surgery but I've called the hospital about it and they can't find them, since I had the surgery 17 years ago (2004)
I have no clue in that situation. Your recruiter is the one who has to schedule you for MEPS, so if he will still schedule you, just see how it goes at MEPS That's tough because if your recruiter is saying you need that info and don't have it and then go to MEPS and tell them it was from surgery, it will be on your record at MEPS and then you wouldn't be able to go through without having that info. If the scar is small enough to pass off as "I fell when I was a kid", then you don't need any documentation for that 😬
The middle of my body is relatively more darker than the rest of my body (like hyperpigmentation). If there are no underlying diseases or anything would I still be qualified? It’s the only thing I’m worried about aside from physical exercise and stuff lol.
Hey @AirmanVision loved the video. I wanna know during the hearing test/physical with the doctor at. the end did they stick they stick an otoscope in your ear to check your ear health? I have a hole in the tympanic membrane in my ear would that disqualify me?
Hello! . I have a question question. In July of 2020 I had a surgery for my scoliosis because it caused me back pains. I’m at fully healed now and my doctor gave me the clear to do anything with no limitations after I was 6 months post opp. Is it possible I can still get intro the Air Force or try to at least get a waiver?
Maaaaan meps really hates Nation Guard😂 they taped me .50 over what I got at my recruiters office and 2 inches shorter than I am I returned 2 times and this is my 3rd time to return for taping
i fractured my arm when i was 8 but it didnt cause any life complications, I can move my arm normally and dont deal with any problems with it. Would that disqualify me?
So did MEPS mention to females and Males that if you have a medical history like seizures and if you don’t have anymore seizures by a citizen doctor so would MEPS accept a recommendation letter from your doctor saying okay this person is cleared to join the Military and I’m a son of a former DEA agent and so would MEPS accept the recommendation letter because I’m gonna visit my Neurosurgeon doctor and I go to the doctors appointment at Saint Francis Hospital in Hawaii and I don’t wear glasses at all and I have a good eye a site and so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note 📝 saying that this person is cleared to train and like I said I don’t wear glasses and I don’t need contacts never did so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note and so did you know if they said that you could bring a doctors note or can only the recruiter take the recommendation letter from your doctor
I'm worried about getting asked about my surgeries. I got my wisdom teeth removed but my recruiter said it didn't need to be recorded. So I don't know if I missed it in the video but do they check your teeth? I am also going to MEPS in Los Angeles and I heard they are strict
I had told my recruiter and he noted it for me. That is weird that he wouldn't just put it on your record because that is not an issue at all. I would ask your recruiter to put it in your file, so you can be honest at MEPS and when the doctor asks "have you had any surgeries" you can say "just had my wisdom teeth removed". But yes, they do look at your teeth/mouth, but not in depth. The doctor will ask you to open and then bite down...that's really it
The job selection I’m aiming for I need the 70lb minimum on the strength test. Did you prep for this with exercise and if so do you recommend a specific workout? I’ve been working on my overhead press a lot more due to this.
@@AirmanVision so it took me months to get in contact with a recruiter, the one the air force website gave me would not return my calls, emails, voicemails on his personal phone, office, etc. I found another recruiters info at the same office and finally met him tuesday in office and i answered all the questions, and he told me he was going to be sending my info to meps. He called me this morning and told me their computers were down! i was like uhhh okay 😂 thanks for telling me. but hopefully i’ll be going to meps by next week to join the air force! you guys videos have been helping so much you guys are amazing
blood test is to check for a bunch of things like std's, illnesses, disease, drugs, etc. They check your height and weight kind of towards the end. When you get there you will go into the medical wing of the building and do briefing, blood pressure, hearing, vision, get blood drawn, pee in a cup, interview (in no particular order). Then AFTER all of that is done, you will go into a room with your gender. you will strip down to underwear and bra and they will check height and weight. After that you do the underwear olympics (exercises), then go into a private room alone with the doctor (fully naked with paper robe on). Dr will check breasts and genitals (takes like 2 seconds). Then as long as you pass everything, you're done!
Would the meps process be stalled or affected in any way if I don’t allow them to look into my medical records? I had childhood asthma with one reported “attack” also at the age of 14 but I haven’t felt anything in years. My recruiter is telling me to not mention it.
NOPE! They do not and can not have access to any previous medical history unless you provide it to them!!! (the only exception is if it was though the military, like if someone was a spouse or child or someone who was in and their healthcare was through military care) DO NOT mention it!! When you get there they will try to scare you in the briefing saying to bring stuff up....DON'T. 🤐 Then when you go into your interview with the doctor don't bring up ANYTHING that is not on the paper your recruiter gave you. They usually don't ask a ton of questions in the doctor interview, but they just go over your medical history paper a little bit. So, if the doctor asks "have you ever had asthma?" You say "nope" and move on! as far as they know, you have never had it and they have no way of finding out UNLESS YOU TELL THEM! just be cool and calm. You are who your paper says you are! You got this! Best of luck!
Unfortunately now that has changed and they can look back at the previous 7 years of your medical history without asking. You can’t really hide anything anymore unless you haven’t gotten prescriptions or been diagnosed within the past 7 years.
because it allows the doctor to be able to see more of your body. Sports bra's sometimes cover a lot and the doctor needs to be able to see as much of your back as possible to check your spine alignment If that is what you wear, you will just take off the additional sports bra when you get undressed

I have it in my mind that I swear in only after my whole packet is submitted (after MEPS) and then I'll be called back to swear in. But Hey! If it gets done while I'm there, perfect lol.
How did it go? Did you swear in at MEPS?
I am so happy to hear you made through swearing in. Congrats 🎈
Thank you!!
Your videos are so helpful!! Went through meps just fine thanks to you. Love your content!
When I went to MEPS, we got soaked going in because the weather was absolutely crazy. We were wet and freezing so the underwear olympics was the best part because we were finally warm and dry 🤣
I’m going 31 kilo for the army and I got through MEPS just two days ago but biggest advice I can give everyone in the morning before going to MEPS is at the hotel please drink a bottle of water so you have to pee at MEPS I saw a Marine get DQ’ED for not being able to pee
I completely agree with what you said about MEPS. I went through my day two November 30th, 2023 in Montgomery Alabama. It sucked through the whole process, but I passed and enlisted into the Navy. I have my ship date. They did do a breathalyzer when we showed up. My most nervous part was the medical interview.
hey! congrats! do you have to use socks when you do the weight and height on the scale?
@@tatytatertots No. You strip down fully to your skivvies (underwear).
when they check for tattoos, do they touch them? or do they go based off when you got them?
cause i believe i put the wrong year on my tattoo paper but it’s too late to tell my recruiter.
Makena it's drew from flag! I just got through day 2 at meps too!
Heck yeah!!! Congrats!!
Thanks for your videos! They are so helpful !! And really do help calm the nerves !!
I am SO GLAD!!
When I went to meps about a week ago, they recorded every swear-in ceremony on Facebook live and you just had to sign a consent form if you wanted to be included. So I guess it varies depending on what meps you go to.
WHAATTT!? That is sooo awesome!!
Had a dude who needed a waiver causa he was missing a testical lmfao I got done with meps yesterday! now time to get ready for bootcamp need to hit above the pft numbers!!
Just got back from MEPS and passed my physical. I swear in Wednesday
Headed to Meps tomorrow freaking the f out
Thanks for making these vids! Extremely helpful!
you're welcome!! I am soo glad!!
I’m scheduled to go to MEPS next week and I’ve been so nervous about the blood draw. That is always so stressful and I hate needles
Any update
Why does the guy on the left now his hand up?
As someone who wants to go to the Marine Corps, my reaction to this video about MEPS is:
Ayo I’m scared
I go tomorrow Wednesday 09/6/2023😊
nice to see you got done with meps the duck walk I did was so awful for my group I was sore for a few days but I like the breakfast and subway sandwiches I got for lunch
haha! I didn't think it was that bad!
Thank you ! Going out this Sunday !
How did you like the Duck Walk?
It wasn't bad at all haha
Twas cringe for me lol
@@malignant3423 it was fun but a pain in the the rear end
@@malignant3423 hahaha, well for me I was in a room with like 6 girls and we all did it at the same time..it would probably be way more awkward if people were just standing there watching haha
@@AirmanVision I was in a room with over 20 guys and it felt like everyone was staring
I'm so glad I just had a yogurt n granola for breakfast sadly it didn't last me super long before lunch time so something a lil extra might of been better especially for the blood draw n doing so much before your next meal
Going to meps Wednesday. Hotel stay Tuesday. Thanks for all the videos :)
I have heard in the Air Force that you have to read a paragraph? What is about ?Great video with a lot of information !
YES! you do! It was such a small part that I had completely forgotten about it! I am not sure why, maybe to make sure we don't have a speech impediment??
But you just read a paragraph out loud and that is it. They don't mark anything down on your paper for it or anything
@@AirmanVision Thank you for your responds ! This is one of the best videos I have seen! 😁
@@manda9908 that means so much!! THANK YOU!!
Have you seen or met a person with a second language? I’m scared that I will read paragraph and probably get one word wrong.
@@suparatsupalak5857 I dont think it's a problem, theres many people with heavy latino accents and speech impediments. You'll be fine.
I didn't know they tested your vision with your glasses ON AND OFF, thought it was just off! I have an old prescription, should I be worried? Thank you so much for the video!
Any advice when it comes to trying to find medical records from 10+ years ago and maybe you can't obtain them? I was given an inhaler that I never used but I would think I still need to disclose that!
23:05 "I have a pregnancy implant" lmaoooo
They actually cannot obtain those records due to HIPPA, basically they cannot see or get ahold of any previous medical records without your permission.
My suggestion DO NOT even mention it!
You will learn the phrase "Hurry up and wait!".
I wish I had seen this before I went! Congrats :)
I thank you for your kind and wonderful informations.
I go to meps tomorrow I’m excited and nervous
Congratulations!!!
thank you!!
Going to MEPS next week eeeew thanks for the info really helpful
I go to meps thursday for space force
you're there today! goodluck!
@@AirmanVision I swore in this afternoon 😁
@@aidenclark6594 HECK YES!! CONGRATS!
Im at meps hotel.
Feeling chill, hopefully everything goes well.
good luck!! I go in next week
Wait…..that guy at the very end didn’t raise his hand on swear in? He didn’t have an arm or was that an option?
This is a great breakdown thanks
Thank you for your service!
I have a question. I was born 6 weeks early being 1lb 10oz and I had surgery when I was 2 weeks old, and I have a scar on my back from it. Will that disqualify me from passing MEPs? I haven't had any complications since then.
I told my recruiter about it and he had told me that I needed documentation for the surgery but I've called the hospital about it and they can't find them, since I had the surgery 17 years ago (2004)
I have no clue in that situation. Your recruiter is the one who has to schedule you for MEPS, so if he will still schedule you, just see how it goes at MEPS
That's tough because if your recruiter is saying you need that info and don't have it and then go to MEPS and tell them it was from surgery, it will be on your record at MEPS and then you wouldn't be able to go through without having that info.
If the scar is small enough to pass off as "I fell when I was a kid", then you don't need any documentation for that 😬
@user-ur9wm1cv2r any update?
Awesome video! Thanks
The middle of my body is relatively more darker than the rest of my body (like hyperpigmentation). If there are no underlying diseases or anything would I still be qualified? It’s the only thing I’m worried about aside from physical exercise and stuff lol.
Hey @AirmanVision loved the video. I wanna know during the hearing test/physical with the doctor at. the end did they stick they stick an otoscope in your ear to check your ear health? I have a hole in the tympanic membrane in my ear would that disqualify me?
i was at meps in december and we got to pick our breakfast
lucky! haha
Lucky! I was just at meps last week, that was not the case lol
Hello! . I have a question question. In July of 2020 I had a surgery for my scoliosis because it caused me back pains. I’m at fully healed now and my doctor gave me the clear to do anything with no limitations after I was 6 months post opp. Is it possible I can still get intro the Air Force or try to at least get a waiver?
How long does the medical and prescription prescreen typically take before being scheduled for MEPS?
Maaaaan meps really hates Nation Guard😂 they taped me .50 over what I got at my recruiters office and 2 inches shorter than I am I returned 2 times and this is my 3rd time to return for taping
I’m going tomorrow and I should be excited but my body is confusing my excitement with nervousness 😬 ahh
I’m going on Thursday thank you for this!
i fractured my arm when i was 8 but it didnt cause any life complications, I can move my arm normally and dont deal with any problems with it. Would that disqualify me?
Nah you’ll be fine. Pretty sure you won’t even need a waiver either since it wasn’t a surgery
I have meps tomorrow, thank you ❤
How long was the wait between the time you finished this MEPS process till when you received your ship out date?
Depends on your job and the next time ther are shipping out.
Im so nervous for MEPS bc I have lumps in one breast and terrified that I’ll get disqualified, and I’ve studied so hard
This was really helpful. Thank you! Am I allowed to bring my own food?
You can bring snacks to the hotel, but you can't bring any food or drinks into the MEPS location
I’m still do the application and I’m nervous about meps lol
Just remember they do a hearing test as well
Meps people usually are nice they want you to join till you get to bmt then you can’t leave lol
Did they do dental? My teeth arent bad but some of the bottom aren’t perfectly aligned
Yes they do dental
So did MEPS mention to females and Males that if you have a medical history like seizures and if you don’t have anymore seizures by a citizen
doctor so would MEPS accept a recommendation letter from your doctor saying okay this person is cleared to join the Military and I’m a son of a former DEA agent and so would MEPS accept the recommendation letter because I’m gonna visit my Neurosurgeon doctor and I go to the doctors appointment at Saint Francis Hospital in Hawaii and I don’t wear glasses at all and I have a good eye a site and so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note 📝 saying that this person is cleared to train and like I said I don’t wear glasses and I don’t need contacts never did so do you know if MEPS would accept a doctors note and so did you know if they said that you could bring a doctors note or can only the recruiter take the recommendation letter from your doctor
Can we wear sweatpants??...not the baggy ones but you know sweatpants like
I would not recommend it
Do they do another background check again at meps on your physical exam day?
I'm worried about getting asked about my surgeries. I got my wisdom teeth removed but my recruiter said it didn't need to be recorded. So I don't know if I missed it in the video but do they check your teeth? I am also going to MEPS in Los Angeles and I heard they are strict
I had told my recruiter and he noted it for me. That is weird that he wouldn't just put it on your record because that is not an issue at all.
I would ask your recruiter to put it in your file, so you can be honest at MEPS and when the doctor asks "have you had any surgeries" you can say "just had my wisdom teeth removed".
But yes, they do look at your teeth/mouth, but not in depth.
The doctor will ask you to open and then bite down...that's really it
@@AirmanVision Oh ok thanks! I just researched a little bit more and people are saying I don't have to worry about it
How old did you have when you get in the Airforce?
I think you can be 17 for any branch but would need a parents waver if you’re under 18
The job selection I’m aiming for I need the 70lb minimum on the strength test. Did you prep for this with exercise and if so do you recommend a specific workout? I’ve been working on my overhead press a lot more due to this.
I would say push ups and mainly any bicep workouts
@@AirmanVision thank you, appreciate it!
@@everest5539 try a shoulder press with a barbell or dumbells
Bruh for my interview, my MEPS doctor only asked me if I smoke marijuana, (I said no ofc) and that's it 😐
dang! Well that's nice!! haha
At what point did you get weighed in? Sorry if I missed it.
I’ve gotten so many mixed answers. Some say yes sports bra. And others say no. 😩
So are sports bras allowed?
Hi Makenna! Thanks for all your videos! What is your role in the AF?
I just got my info!!! Check out my announcement :)) th-cam.com/video/XP4LOA73zqI/w-d-xo.html
only reason im stressed out for MEPS because im in LA and i think its the busiest MEPS in the nation😅it'll be a long day
bro the computers were down or something the day I went (typical military), so we had the hold it in the entire morning
omg, OF COURSE!!
no way my recruiter called me this morning and said the computers were down as well.
@@jason6070 ohh, my, gosh!!! at least yours called and let you know!!! unlike mine a few years ago when I drove over 2 hrs to get there!
@@AirmanVision so it took me months to get in contact with a recruiter, the one the air force website gave me would not return my calls, emails, voicemails on his personal phone, office, etc. I found another recruiters info at the same office and finally met him tuesday in office and i answered all the questions, and he told me he was going to be sending my info to meps. He called me this morning and told me their computers were down! i was like uhhh okay 😂 thanks for telling me. but hopefully i’ll be going to meps by next week to join the air force! you guys videos have been helping so much you guys are amazing
We tested with a paper test & scanning bubble answer card. They should have that backup if computers go down. Geez.
I've got MEPS for the Marine Corp tomorrow morning kinda nervous. Did the asvap got a 77 so yeah
What does the blood tests test for ? Do they weight you first thing it towards the end of the tests ?
blood test is to check for a bunch of things like std's, illnesses, disease, drugs, etc.
They check your height and weight kind of towards the end.
When you get there you will go into the medical wing of the building and do briefing, blood pressure, hearing, vision, get blood drawn, pee in a cup, interview (in no particular order). Then AFTER all of that is done, you will go into a room with your gender. you will strip down to underwear and bra and they will check height and weight. After that you do the underwear olympics (exercises), then go into a private room alone with the doctor (fully naked with paper robe on). Dr will check breasts and genitals (takes like 2 seconds). Then as long as you pass everything, you're done!
@@AirmanVisionI currently weight 98 pounds and I’m 5’2 I have a fast metabolism and I’m hoping it’s not disqualifying
Is that weight thing only for the Air Force?
That food is daily chow at the Army lol. I can still taste the watery egg.
Hey this is kind of late but for the scar/birthmark fill out form or something like that, do you put down stretch marks if you have one?
How long does the interview last? Great vid very helpful thank you
Just a few minutes. Maybe like 5, if that
What AFSC do you hope you get ? Will you be active duty , Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve ?
Active. I am still waiting for my job
Hi I’m going to meps for my medical next week does it matter if I have little scars from falling as a kid ?
how was it?
Would the meps process be stalled or affected in any way if I don’t allow them to look into my medical records? I had childhood asthma with one reported “attack” also at the age of 14 but I haven’t felt anything in years. My recruiter is telling me to not mention it.
NOPE! They do not and can not have access to any previous medical history unless you provide it to them!!!
(the only exception is if it was though the military, like if someone was a spouse or child or someone who was in and their healthcare was through military care)
DO NOT mention it!! When you get there they will try to scare you in the briefing saying to bring stuff up....DON'T. 🤐
Then when you go into your interview with the doctor don't bring up ANYTHING that is not on the paper your recruiter gave you.
They usually don't ask a ton of questions in the doctor interview, but they just go over your medical history paper a little bit.
So, if the doctor asks "have you ever had asthma?"
You say "nope"
and move on!
as far as they know, you have never had it and they have no way of finding out UNLESS YOU TELL THEM!
just be cool and calm. You are who your paper says you are!
You got this! Best of luck!
I thought the military was using a program called Genesis to see your medical records? Is that still happening?
Only if you let them then they would use that.
Unfortunately now that has changed and they can look back at the previous 7 years of your medical history without asking. You can’t really hide anything anymore unless you haven’t gotten prescriptions or been diagnosed within the past 7 years.
Why no sports bras? I wear a normal bra with a sports over it for support and for comfort.
because it allows the doctor to be able to see more of your body. Sports bra's sometimes cover a lot and the doctor needs to be able to see as much of your back as possible to check your spine alignment
If that is what you wear, you will just take off the additional sports bra when you get undressed
