Will I do height and weight at meps if I’m only switching from national guard to active duty?

I’m trying to drop a DD368 to go active. I’m currently serving in the army national guard. If it gets approved and I go to meps. Will I have to do height and weight? My recruiter says I will not and I will only have to do paperwork.

When I went active Army from the Air Force , I had to do height & weight. This was almost 3 years ago though, so it might have changed either way I’d make sure you can pass height & weight regardless

Any time you go to MEPS you'll do Ht /wt. If you can't pass Ht/wt now don't come onto active duty because you'll be flagged the second you inprocess.

If you are NG you should have a PHA and be Green on all MEDPROs. If you are then you would do NO Medical Processing meaning you will not be doing HT/WT.

So I came back in Dec 2017 and because I had my MEDPROS up to date i didn't have to do the physical portion. I only went to do the contracts and then on the day i shipped out i left

Yes. You will do height and weight when you go to MEPS. That is a guaranteed. As long as you can pass both, don't sweat it. At any rate even if they do not, your first gaining AD unit will do it. Pay now or pay later.
