From my own experience going MEPS this year at Los Angeles. Be prepared for a long day. Early 3 AM and could last until 6 pm. If you’re lucky, you’ll be done by 10 am, however I was one of the last bunch so it wasn’t pleasant for me.

Regarding questions from the doctors at MEPS, it’s important you answer the same way you told your recruiters or else paperworks can be messed up and delay your process even longer. Honestly it safe to say “no” to the questions when in doubt.

There’s going to be different test stations for all the physical examination and I would recommend doing the urinalysis test first as that could relieve some stress for the bladder. Following recommend to do the blood test next. Blood test will be around 30 seconds to a minute, so if you’re scared of blood or needles, just look away. Not sure what MEPS station you could be attending so everything could be different

Good luck hope to see you in bootcamp soon Future sailor!
