Once an individual has talked to a recruiter and made a commitment to serve, he or she sets a date to visit a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) to finish the enlistment process.
The MEPS is a joint-Service organization that determines an applicant’s physical qualifications, aptitude and moral standards as set by each branch of military service. There are MEPS locations all over the country. Here are a few things a recruit should keep in mind for the visit:
Bring a Social Security card, birth certificate and driver’s license
Remove piercings, and do not wear clothing with obscene images
Bring glasses or wear contacts, and bring along an eyeglass or contact lens case and solutions
Get a good night’s sleep, and arrive early
Candidates officially complete the process of joining the Military once they meet all of the requirements at the MEPS. This process may take up to two days. Food and lodging are usually provided for candidates.
