What happens the second time you go back to MEPS, the day you ship out to boot camp?

Do you have to redo the whole Medical process all over again?

The second time, you go in, they ask if anything has changed since your last visit. There might be additional paperwork. You see a recruiter and he/she presents you with your actual final contract, the one that locks everything in for you for the next 8 years and you sign on the dotted line. You then raise your hand and are sworn in. This one is official and binding. You get your orders cut sending you off to your basic training location. You then wait and later that day are sent to the airport and go to BCT.

From what I remember it's almost the same process as the first visit minus the examinations but instead you go to the office to finalize your paperwork and records, then you go to the swearing in room to swear in again if you're active duty then you go into the briefing room where you watch two videos on where you go from there from MEPS to your basic training facility. Then from there you get an envelope containing your orders and records and airline ticket, after that its kiss your family goodbye, get on the bus or van then it's off to the airport or bus station to start your career. Good luck
