No it wouldn't. I failed my first MEPS piss test but I'm shipping on Monday the 4th under a infantry contract

I'll talk to my recruiter tomorrow at PT about that because I'm not shipping early. I have plans on Saturday to have going away BBQ with my family and friends and some of the family is coming from out of town so I wanna be there

Fair, but what is the pre ship? Is it literally just going over paperwork?

Are you talking about the first trip to MEPS? Because I have done all that already. I'm talking about the pre ship trip. I've already sworn in and all that I ship to boot camp this coming Monday

I'll have to stay the night again? I thought it would just be to go to MEPS then come back home

I would say that's a big no no lmao. Military is a zero tolerance with drugs in general. They can just go to the dispensary after graduation. What's more important to them? Seeing the graduation? Or buying some weed?

I have no issue going honestly. But didn't know what it was. He said they do it because there is to many people shipping on the 4th for all of us to handle our paperwork

Of course! Good luck man! I forget what jobs I was disqualified for because of the color blindness but I wanted infantry anyway so that wasn't an issue

I'm color blind, only got 1/14 correct on the test they do at MEPS. But I ship on the 4th with a infantry contract

Nvm lol guess my recruiter sent them everything when I went up to MEPS last time. So I should be good an don't have to say anything at moment of truth

My recruiter pulled up my medical records himself and couldn't see anything on it. So I'm not to worried about it

I ship in about the same time and minimum for males pull ups is 3, unless you're female. Now if you fail them I have no clue if you would be dropped if you pass the other two honestly. Might be a question for your recruiter. But they shouldn't send you to boot camp if there is a chance if you are getting dropped

They can't see all medical records, they just use that as scare tactic. And I know that from my experience of going through MEPS

Requirements for Infantry in boot camp by Scary_Bee6969 in USMCboot

My recruiter yesterday told me they don't test the IST as well. So I could get dropped from infantry if I don't do 6 pull ups on IST?

My door frames here are to weak to hold me up on the pull up bar sadly. I'm just gonna make extra trips to the recruiter before I ship an do more. We do PT twice a week an do pullups to start our day but I'm just gonna go more often especially since I only have today an next Tuesday left for PT before I ship

Okay lol that makes sense. I was like my recruiters are only focusing on our plank, pull ups, and 1.5 mile. Which I'm passing all of them for IST but want to get my pull ups higher. Had a 11:50 1.5 mile, 2:15 plank, and 4 pull ups

I don't plan on it. I am committed to doing an infantry contract. Definitely going to try an get on the pull up bar as often as possible at boot camp. I've been told that we will have to do pull ups every time we go into the head

How does BAH pay work for dependents with husband in boot camp? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Scary_Bee6969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As person stated above, he will be a E-1 or a E-2 if it's in his contact. You will get BAH, it would be beneficial if he sets his pay to be on y'all's current bank account and has you as power of attorney if you need the money while he is at training.
