GOOD STUFF!
I DID THE ASVAB AND MEPS THIS PREVIOUS MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
MEPS REALLY BLOWS BUT IT ISNT TO BAD.

JUST WALK LIKE YOU ARE ON A FUGGIN MISSION AND SAY YES SIR AND YES MA'AM TO EVERYONE THERE AND YOU'L BE ALL GOOD.

[MGarrison]

I don't know about you, but MEPS sucked for me. I was there from 0430 till around 1630.

Oh, and always remember, "Bend over son, and spread 'em wide."

Have fun though, you'll be motivated. I could hardly stand still when I was sworn in.

[Rains]

I ACUALLY GOT IN AND OUT OF THERE FAIRLY QUIKLY.
I MANAGED TO GET IN THE FIRST ROW OF THE BUS AT THE HOTEL SO I WAS AT THE HEAD OF THE PACK ALL DAY.

GOT THERE AT 0500 AND GOT OUT AT 1350

I took my physical last week, two things that really sucked from my own experience I want to pass along in case anyone else encounters them. Hopefully this knowledge can help someone facing the same situation.

1) Lines were long, but the line to pee in a cup was the longest for me all day long. Do it first if your experience looks even remotely similar. For the rest of the tests they need to do, if you see a short line, get in it. Your MEPS may be different, but at LA MEPS you just needed to have completed all the tests in any order before you go to the duck walk room.

2) On three separate occasions, I was given paperwork bearing a name/SSN other than my own. Check all the paperwork you're given, while you're at the desk, and make sure it's yours. The MEPS staff go through a lot of applicants, it's very easy to accidentally scan the wrong barcode, and you'll be the one at the back of the line getting it fixed.

Just stay positive and motivated all day long and respect all the staff there, they'll appreciate the courtesy. On the other hand, if you're a jerk, they can give you a harder time than you can give them.
