MEPS

So In a week or somewhere around that time frame I am returning to meps to take the physical. I already took the ASVAB (82, Decent imo).

And getting to the point I was wondering if anyone had knowledge in the trickery of doctors at MEPS. I have nothing, have done nothing that should DQ me that I know of, but I've heard stories of doctors using psychology tricks or something of the sort. Anyways I was wondering if any of you could expand on this.

    They don't try to disqualify people who don't have medical problems or a history of drug use or other such obvious "issues".

    No, the only psychological issue is snickering behind your back as you duck walk and turn your head to cough.

    They just check you out. They're not really interested in disqualifying you unless you're missing a leg or something that will prevent you from performing your duties.

    It's still not too late to back out, however. Iraq's not the best summer vacation spot.
