I am going to get my physical tommarrow.In detail what do they have you do???

To be honest.. I don't think too many of us can remember what they'll have you do. They'll check your flexibility and your coordination... no big deal, really.

there was another that epic honor posted but I forgot the title

I just need to know what they do about the physical part.

Most likely they will line you all up have you spread your cheeks, do the duck walk, and other exercises in order to test your flexibility. Don't sweat it...we all had to do it too.

oh ok, here yah go:

hearing test, eye sight test, blood test, urine test, physical movemement drills, and strip turn your head and cough for the doctor... oh and strip bend forward and spread em for the doc too (check for hemorrhoids)

usually takes all morning

you'll get a good dose of the "hurry up and wait" lifestyle...

I got royally screwed. Screwed, I say.

You have to have a projection 72 hours before going to MEPS. My recruiter did so, but there was a snafu of some kind. So, he called up yesterday to verify I could still go and have my physical this morning. They said sure.

However, this morning, the story changed. They wouldnt let me do my physical because I didn't have 72 hours prior projection. So, I thoroughly wasted my time. I sat at MEPS and did NOTHING from 0630 to 1500. That was fun, let me tell you. I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing.

I just came back from it. OMG, that was a bureaucratic nightmare! The only thing that made it bearable was my fellow recruits. Crazy how much you can bond with people only after 2 days.

Yes, thats true. I did make fast friends with some of the folks I had to hang with.

OK today was suppose to be the day I was suppose to go to my physical. This was the 3rd time the reschuduled today i just got stood up. The first time was because of my waivers, the second time was because there was apower outage at the site. And today i got stood up he hasn't even called or answering his phone. What can i do I feel that my recruiter really doesn't care if i sign up or not. I really wanted to join the army now i have doubts. I wanted to do something with my life. But know i have doubts.

call the station and talk to his superior

And if he doesn't shape the hell up after that, just go to another recruiting station. If I got stood up like that, I would just go, sorry man, if I not important enough for you I'll go see another recruiter or another service.

it is but first week i went in i had all my stuff ready to go he said he would know in couple days after he runs the background check. So i called him a week later and he sadi you want to go thursday for you meps i said yes and i will be there at 2pm. well he calls me an hour before i had to leave and said he needs to get wavers for my record. Ok next thursday well an hour before i was suppose to leave again he called and said there was an power outage and we couldn't do it how about sunday. sunday i got stood up and he still has called. I just don't feel they really want me. then i my family doesn't believe me that i am going to do this because i keep on giving them different times. I wish i would know.

call them and tell them you want to talk to the NCOIC ... you should not have gotten this much of a run around ... make sure that whoever you talk to has the rank of Sergeant First Class at the least
