I know we all entered MEPS before we really knew what the military life was going to be like. What is your MEPS story?

My brother was my recruiter and when I went to MEPS I knew what I wanted to do in the army. When I sat down with the SP4 to discuss what my MOS was going to be he told me that he had the perfect MOS for me. 11b. I told him to wait just a second and I got up and walked right out side the door and told my brother that they was trying to make me a 11b. My brother walked into the room and told that SP4 that his brother was not going to be a 11b that he was going to be a 67v. Now my brother was a E-8 MSG at the time. I will never forget the look on that SP4 face . Needless to say I was a 67V.

I barely remember most of it. Only things I remember are the medics asking me questions super fast, and us swearing-in before we rode out to the airport lol

Waking up, after drinking myself stupid and my recruiter showing up a day early. I took my oath, while partially hungover. I functioned just fine. Not my proudest moment but that's how I knew I was cut out for the army...
