In the movie, yeah. lol :lol:

This is a different kind of MEPs though. It's like getting your butt inspected at the DMV.

did you have to bend over and spread your cheeks?

I got three huge breaks that would have otherwise DQ'd my ass. First, my blood pressure was 142, too high, so the guy wrote 138 on my paper and said "merry christmas". Next, I could not piss when it came time for the urinalysis. I'm standing there with four 18 year old kids trying to make water and I just couldn't do it. I had to drink 15 cups of warm water and still couldn't do it. The examiner gave me the biggest break ever. He let me go to two other examinations and then told me to come back and try to pee, but I would only have five minutes to do it and that is IT. By the grace of all that is good, the bunny rabbits and rays of sunshine were thinking of me yesterday and I was able to piss. I had no idea how violently depressing it is to know that your life's dream and new career depends on pissing into a little cup until yesterday. I literally cried and thanked the guy profusely after I was finished. That is something I never want to have to experience EVER again.

You will be forced to pee in cup with a watcher many times.

Ha-Ha, MEPS is like the ultimate torture...only the girls are lucky, they don't have to bend over and spread 'em...lol. But I'm surprised they still do that, now the military uses a blood test in place of the colon exam.

As a female I am not subjected to umm..prostate exams..obviously. Anyway, without going into much detail as I know it makes most men cringe, during my last female appt, which are bad enough, I also got the finger up the bum. What makes this even worse is that I have never had that done before nor did my doctor tell me she was going to do it. I know what you mean by feeling violated!! Needless to say, that was my last appt. with her! I got a new doctor immediately!! Sorry..this may have been a little TMI.

:shock: I'm speechless.

[sgreger1]

Lol, nothing like a little finger in the butt.


They just made me bend over and spread em though while this 99 year old black dude got within unnecessarily close proximity of my chocolate starfish. he looked like he would have a heart attack if I moved to suddenly or farted on him or something.

THe funniest part for me was when everyone stripped down to their boxers and had to do random things so that the Dr. could mass inspect everyone.

Trust me, it's the first of many way-to-gay experiences you will have inthe imlitary. If you are joining the army, and go into a combat MOS, be prepared to sleep under a single poncho tied 2 feet above you with 550 cord. then keep in mind that you gotta keep your equipment dry which means you and your battle buddy are going to be snugglin nuts to butts

Enjoy Afghanistan too lol.

Also, be prepared to part with your snus for awhile

Basic training is way more lax nowadays. I wen through the last rotation of the old style BCT and the classes after me were llowed to use cell phone, goto concerts on base etc. They also got ahold of dip reppty often.

When I was in BCT we had a guy who had to goto a dentist apointment while we were in the field and he managed to sneak into a gas station and buy a couple cans of skoal pouches, going price was $40 a can. lol and M&M's were going for $20 a bag. it's like jail but with more rules

[srhoades2talk]

Mine wasn't lax at all. First, we were only supposed to be there no more than nine weeks, wound up being 13...We didn't get to use our cell phones till the day before graduation and weren't supposed to smoke, dip, etc at all...However, that didn't stop me from bumming some cigs from my dad and sneaking behind the PX...talk about a nicotine high after 3 months without! I think they are making it too lax nowadays, thats why the military is full of fat-asses and lazies. :twisted:
