Couple of questions before I swear in
Hi, I'm new here so bare with me. I'm a female trying to go active in the administrative field. I've already passed my asvab/security clearance and was ready to go off to MEPS. Unfortunately I recently got into a car accident & have to seek physical therapy so that's delaying my entrance. Any serious answers will gladly be appreciated!!! Cutting to the point my questions are: Will the navy disqualify me if I used to take depression pills? (long story mom used to think I slept to much after coming to America) Will they let me do the "girl push-ups" ? (I've heard from a reserve they will) My crunches/1.5 are all within standard but can't do a regular push-up to save my life... what can I do to build that up? Car accident wasn't my fault, will going to physical therapy mess me up by going in? is MEPS as strict as my recruiter makes it seem? |

I was 14 and never took the pills ever since then, no anxiety thankfully just my mom didn't want me coming home from school and sleeping all the time. it's been roughly 6 years since then. And that's crazy but thanks for the info.

Just make sure your recuiter knows everything in advance about any and all medical...it make take now up to 6 months to get cleared from your injury from the accident. As far as the anti-depresants when you were young..if it is in your medical records..the navy WILL find it, best to tell them now than get in trouble and possibly kicked out later for not telling.

Ehh.. Most MEPS are different but my MEPS was really really laid back. The only strict part about it was in the morning when we got off the bus from the hotel, that was it. The medical was all pretty much self-paced at my MEPS.
