MEPS

[jak77]

If you can read this and you`re still there, go to the office of your service branch and see if they`ve printed your visitor`s pass. If so, just check in at the front desk and they`ll point you in the right direction.
Last time I went to the MEPS I was "cancelled" by some mistake, thank God one of the Sergeants was able to fix it.
Talk to the uniformed people in the office and not to the civilian employees.
Good luck.

It wouldnt have mattered, I didnt have any of my paper work. My OSO was supposed to give it to me there. I did go inside, but they said without my paperwork, I couldnt do anything. Finally at around, 0620 I called the OSO office and the HRA told me to go home because it was too late to check in anyway. My OSO finally called me at 0700, right when I got back home and said he took some meds last night and slept through his alarm. So I gotta go back next week...

if you dont want to rely on him next week just have him put you up in a hotel the night before and get picked up by the bus in the morning. He will give you all the necessary paperwork before you go to meps

Bummer... I'm pretty sure I saw you running around today with that issue. I was there at 0430 until about 1400

dress comfortable.
Having someone look up your corn-hole, grab your junk and stare AT your junk while you pee IS stressful.
Bring a loong good book.

Damn, man. I was getting ready to have some fun with him and you gave up all the goods. When I went in in '86, they shut off the lights, and shined a flashlight on your butt. Now that I look back on it, wtf did that really tell them?

Yea it definitely was frustrating, but **** happens, just gotta roll with it.

Im scheduled to go back this coming Tuesday, hopefully things work out a little better than last time.

Just make sure you/your recruiter are there on time, with your packet! lol

Ill be there! Hope he shows up!

[zeprider25]

like they said try and check in the day before at the meps hotel. Your recruiter seems unreliable. Get your paperwork beforehand incase he doesnt show up. The day I swore in I just showed up on my own at 5 with my paperwork in hand. Didn't see my recruiter till 2 weeks later when I had to do some dumb future soldier training.

Itll suck... but remember this will be easy compared to reception.

i got there about 0400, didnt leave until like 1700... it was a pretty whack day to say the least, lol but eh if you're enlisting in the military I guess ya just gotta get used to that haha. Docs were dicks, everyone else was pretty pleasant. The Commander who swore me in... I swear it was Major Pain's brother, sounded just like him haha. And the pecker checker dude who watches you piss, looked like Bill Cosby. I dunno where they get all these celebrity look alikes to work at MEPs. Alot of immature douches running around, so pretty entertaining to watch them.

Pardon me, but why is it they have to look at your "cornhole"? what is it they're looking for? Hemorrhoids, colon cancer? Did they lose something?

[xLusi0n]

Now that DADT has been repealed, they'll tell you why they're looking

[jak77]

Hemorrhoids and hernias I think.

I wont be swearing in as I have to get accepted to OCC, not enlisting. Now Im going to MEPS on Wednesday. I just want to get this over with already.
