When ever my ship date arrives and i shuttle back to MEPS to go to the island, am i gonna have to be medically screened again there or at boot? Im sure not as closely as the first time at MEPS if i do. I really hated it and it dragged on and on. No one has ever mentioned anything to me about getting medically checked again after your first initial visit to MEPS when its time to go to boot. So i was just curious.

Ask your recruiter.

Ask your recruiter.

I feel like saying that to 80% of the questions asked in here, lol.

To answer your question though derek...

Yes, you will have to go through a brief medical check again. It takes a fraction of the time as it did the first time but they still do it. At least that's how it was for me.

They do more medical checks in boot camp, but I'm not sure how long it takes or what they do. A Marine will have to answer that part of your question.

I've heard it's just a simple height/weight/BF% check before you ship out. Not a medical "exam" but rather an "inspect".
