I don't recall another actual physical portion during P-Days. If you're Aircrew or AC, you'll get a flight physical about halfway through... that's hands-on.
MEPS is all about seeing if you are able to join the Navy... RTC medical is all about figuring out what you need while in Great Lakes: they draw more blood to test for allergies, immunizations, medical conditions like anemia, etc... they check your vision again to issue you glasses (
if needed), they give you shots to make sure you don't get sicker than necessary from all the illnesses that come in with new recruits... and they give you a dental exam to see what work you need to have scheduled while up there (
If any is needed).
