What is your 'favorite' memory from MEPS?

Was sitting around in our underwear waiting for some test and a MD came running in to the room followed by another pissed off looking MD. They were hunting for an applicant that had been passed thru the eye test but was legally blind. MD #2 just stamped his paperwork as passed and sent him on his way. This was in 82 at the St. Louis MEPS

I don't think anyone has a favorite about when a 200 year old doctor stared at their butthole, or made them wait in their draws in a surprisingly cold room. How about waiting for 8 hours to finish all of their testing? No? Well then, I guess the whole experience sucks.

I walked out of 2 MEPS when they told me info that was unacceptable. The first time, the Career Counselor came chasing me down. The second time my Recruiter came chasing me down.

Doing the duck walk with a couple other dozen guys in our tighty whitey's.
Going through the interview for my drug waiver.

MEPS was well after I joined. My younger brother went through though, he had no issues.

Which time? The last 2 times it was that I performed better than those roughly half my age, but still got denied a waiver...lol

Doing my best to fail the DLAB. I knew the job i wanted. This was back in the day of guaranteed job. I showed up and the MSgt said, we want to give you a little test today. I guess it was due to my ASVAB scores. I needed to come up with a better failure technique. I didn't want to look like a non team player but still wanted to fail for I had an idea what was going on. I passed and then they pressured me. They backed off a bit when I countered with the Army had a higher bonus for the same job. They let me go sit an stew a bit after that.

During the physical portion of the MEPS entrance process, the Doctor had a tray outside his office with a box of surgical gloves. He was taking one person at a time into his office. We were lined up to see the Doctor. The guy in front of me was the next to go in and the Doctor stepped out to call him in while reaching into the box and pulling out a large handful of gloves. The guy in front of me looked like he was going to faint and his eyes were as large as saucers.

My favorite memory, was when it ended . Why does it seem like everyone was always pissed off lol. I exhausted all my leave from my previous job to get in , luckily I had just enough.

When I joined in 1996 and I had a 98 on the ASVAB and a 132 GT score and was offered 23 different MOS's at MEPS but didn't have the 2 that I was interested in and was told the 2 of them were closed. I told my recruiter go ahead and take me home and he went to talk to the the Colonel station manager and next thing I know I am being offered both of the MOS's that I wanted after the station manager made a few phone calls....
