MEPS Over 40

[Downtown “Funky Stuff” Malone🍆]

Not sure if this is the right spot but what the hell.

I finally got my MEPS date to go back AD Air Force and will be reporting this Wednesday 20160629.

Anyone else been through the MEPS over 40 physical? Any insight on what to expect?

Note: Current Air Fore drilling reservist, medically ready to deploy and dental class 1. Excellent on current F2F.

Thanks in advance,
Michael C.

Over 40? Someone's finger is pushing in your shit. Beyond that? No clue.

Meh... Small price to pay:-"

You won't be thinking "meh" when old doctor knuckles grumbles "drop your skivvies young man". Then when you go home with that squishy feeling between the cheeks, curl up into the fetal position, get back on here and tell us how small a price it truly was! :wall:

LMAO

Thanks for all that.

Anyone that's not a douche bag fixated on things going up men's asses have any info?

We're just joking with you dude, the only new thing I'm aware of for over 40 is the prostate exam. Should be like normal except for...well you know.

I know you all were joking. I obviously cant joke as well.

I heard that an EKG was in the mix now.

My recruiter just texted me:
"Main thing is clean ears, That is a common thing people are getting DQ for so go to the doctor and get them flushed out."

WTF?

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

The EKG make sense and the cleaning of ears as well. Bunch of crusty old dudes not cleaning their ears so they don't have to hear the old lady and whatnot.

Wash the hair, if you still have some. Wash your...well you know. Clean the crust out of the ears and wear clean skivvies and all should be well!

Good luck!

Just for clarification this is my third time through MEPS just first time at this age.

I keep reading that they are a little harder on us old fucks.

I went into the ANG just shy of 30 but the physical was about the same as the one I went through at 18. I had to get some waivers for hearing loss, left ear, and for a slight limp. Granted, that was not AD. I would expect an EKG for anybody 40 or over and more comprehensive blood tests (like prostate, etc.) but if you're in pretty good shape you should be fine. Good luck.

FYI @Diamondback 2/2 is a friend and a veteran combat NCO...and IMO he's earned the right to talk a little smack.

I went over 40 and it was pretty stupid: the docs were just looking for a way to NPQ.

I had an abnormal EKG (right bundle branch block) and doc DQ'd but suggested I see a cardiologist so I went to John's Hopkins in Baltimore because I was scared shitless (yes, pun intended after the finger poke). I was in flight status for many years and had multiple military physicals with no problems.

JH did a 3D sonogram of the heart and stress test which I passed with flying colors. Waiver submitted and ultimately I was cleared for a dive stamp (apparently the most intensive physical).

EKG is a standard part of the over 40.

MEPS got pushed back to Friday. Block 161 (have you ever been discharged from a military service under any type of condition) was checked no when it should have been yes.

Thanks for the info guys.

 

[Gunz]

Again, good luck, and let us know how things turn out.

They'll find any small thing to DQ you. If you have any problems make sure you tell them it doesn't causes any pain. Also stretch, the flexibility test is rough most DQs occurred during that portion. No Sex the night before,and drink water.

How long have you been a military medic?

Well got to Atlanta MEPS at 0530 for my 0600 appointment. Long story short the ball got dropped (again) and was told that the 40 and over physicals are conducted on Wednesdays only.

I fill you in next week.

JEEEEZ! I admire your tenacity for sticking with it. I do wish you luck. By posting what you are having troubles with, will be of value for those following in your foot steps.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

I will do a detailed posting of the trials and tribulations of a prior service, 41 year old knuckle fuck going back on active duty.

One would think the fact that I am a current drilling reservist would mean something but I am being handled as if I am noob.
