MEPS experience?

I am in the process of commissioning in the AF Reserves I am so paranoid I will not pass the physical portion. I don't have any medical issues but I am afraid they will find one. Can anyone tell me what to expect at MEPS?

Hello I am looking into going to basic this summer and was reading many of the comments and went across the one about the wax problem in you ear. Should I try and have that done before meps or will leaving to get it done and continue the exam be easier.

No, get the wax removed if you have an excessive amount. 3 people from my group were having to return at a later date for impacted ear wax.

I'm applying for the boards at the end of this month(NTP) and the results coming out sometime in mid August. I haven't went to MEPS either. What I was told by my recruiter is that due to downsizing and budget cuts they are starting to do it differently. My interview wasn't in person on a base it was over the phone and I just filled out a pre-screen medical form filling out if I had any conditions and answering around 70 yes or no questions about my health. My recruiter said that after you are selected is when you would go to MEPS. Hope this helps.

Many things are individual dependant. My meps physical is before I do interviews because I'm older and am service connected through the VA. They said there's no sense credentialing off we aren't sure meps will clear me.
