No. You HAVE to go through MEPS and be seen by MEPS Doctors. Nothing else counts towards enlistment. Now you can include that DoDMERB physical with your paperwork and it will be as a reference/supplemental.

At Meps you will be screened and given a physical. You personal Physician has no Sarah’s with the DOD.

the DODMERB is the Department of Defense Agency responsible for the determination of medical qualification of applicants for appointment to a United States Service Academy, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Programs of the United States Armed Forces, and other programs as assigned by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs.

SO, NO!
