When to the dentist yesterday and found out I have a tooth infection, doc proscribed antibiotics for 2 weeks. Will I get DQed for it at MEPs?

Let your recruiter know, they can give you the best guidance. Remember, it's the recruiters job to get you in, it's MEPS job to keep you out, it's in your recruiter's best interest to get you through MEPS successfully.

Also I would not put a rank on your profile if you haven’t been to basic training.

Got it, just a question as all.

Also I’ve worked at MEPS in medical. Do not go there with an infection. You’ll waste yo ur time and theirs. Just wait until your infection is clear.SPC (Join to see)

Should I delay MEPS due to a tooth infection?

Yes, and once you’re done when you do go to meps make sure you tell and fill out the med brief form properly to annotate you had the infection and were treated and who treated you and when and that you’re no longer being treated

Go to meps. Worse thing that happens is you get turned around. Could still get through if you tell them its being treated.
