You can take the ASVAB as well through your high school so if you have done so, please let your recruiter know. That way you will not have to take the test more than once. You will also take a physical while at MEPS because ensuring you are in good health before you enter the military lifestyle is of the utmost importance.
The military is not an easy lifestyle so being healthy and a good physical condition will help you deal with the stress and fast-paced life of the service. Some of the tests for your physical will include blood, drug and alcohol tests. There may be some simple flexibility balance tests to ensure you have the proper range of motion.
Depending upon if you are overweight, you will have a body fat percentage test as well. If you have a problem or an issue that pops up with one of the tests administered, you may be able to get a waiver and still enter the military. Make sure you let your recruiter know before you go to MEPS of all the conditions that may require waivers on your behalf.
Otherwise, you may be disqualified. If you pass your physical and ASVAB, there will a counselor who will provide you the jobs you are eligible for and your enlistment agreement. Your friends and family are not allowed to ride with you on the bus or shuttle, so this last time together is a good time to say your final goodbyes. When you arrive at the airport, you'll go through airport security to the departure gate immediately, so I don't recommend that your family and friends go to the airport on their own because they won't be able to spend any time with you there.
Who's in charge of this goat-rope? Quite possibly, you are. Before you leave MEPS, each service branch will appoint one recruit to be in charge of all other recruits of your branch, until you arrive at your basic training location. The person in charge is responsible to watch everyone in their group, to make sure that they don't get into trouble and to make sure that they get on their flight. Tip: Actually, I don't recommend volunteering for this duty. First of all, you're babysitting a bunch of kids, many of whom have never been away from home.
Trying to get them where they need to be at the time they need to be there can be a daunting task. If someone gets misplaced, you can be sure that you will be the very first person in your basic training unit to get chewed out upon arrival, even if you did everything right.
