Hey, I have a question about the doctors at MEPS and if they can DQ you for suspicion of "attempted suicide"... I have never tried to kill myself, but I have a few scars on my wrist from a snowboarding accident (I ran into some barbed wire) and I've been asked many times if they were self inflicted. If I had medical documents on these I would give them to the doctor at MEPS, but I never went to the hospital, so there are none! SO my question is: Can/will the doctors at MEPS DQ me for suspicion of attempted suicide? Or will they need solid proof? If I tell them the story behind it will they accuse me of lying? Any experiences/advice/knowledge with this would be greatly appreciated.. I want to serve!!
I am certainly no authority on this (just someone in the DEP waiting to ship to basic in January)... but it may help allay suspicions if there are people who knew you when it happened (friends, family) that might be able to back up your story if it becomes an issue.
Good luck...

They checked my wrists and for all visible scars. If they ask you just tell them what happend and the'll most likely let it go.

On the evening of the seventh day the Lord looked over His creation and saw that it was good. He said, Let there be a breed of great warriors to protect the people from evil. They shall ride beasts of iron and steel and speak with breaths of fire and destruction. They shall be feared by all that is evil. The people shall call these warriors who are masters of their beasts
