Aside from MEPS physical exam, applicants will undergo urine and blood test. These include a test for HIV antibodies and a pregnancy test for female applicants, as well as drug and alcohol screening.
Other tests applicants will undergo through :
Height and weight measurements: Each Service has its own standards for height and weight, so it’s best to discuss this with your recruiter.
Hearing and vision examinations: Perfect hearing and vision are not required for enlistment, but may be required for certain career fields. A recruiter can explain prerequisites in detail.
Muscle group and joint maneuvers: These simple flexibility and balance tests ensure you have proper ranges of motion.
Specialized tests, if required.
