Going to MEPS
« on: March 18, 2009, 06:49:50 PM »
I will be going to MEPS next thursday.  I am trying to enlist in the national guard.  My hearing is not so great, are there any tips/tricks that you gents have for passing the hearing test?

Just ask them to turn up the volume a bit so you can hear the test over the voices in your head.  Worked for me!

The trick to calming yourself down is Lamaze.  Seriously!  if it works for millions of women in childbirth it will do wonders for you.  Just get that breathing right.  They will understand, its even taught in training!

I remember having to go through the rest of the physical in the little room with the old doc.  I mean seriously the guy looked like he was 90. :rofl  Not the best thing you want to hear that early in the morning though.

 :rofl :rofl :rofl

Many years ago when I had to do that at the MEPS, I bent over, spread em, and looked through my legs back at the doc looking at my arse......  :rofl :rofl :rofl  

Crack a smile when you look back at em, it might make his day....    :rofl

Wait till you get your physical from a hot female Doc,,,, now thats control....  :lol

You don't happen to be in Texas do you?

Anyhow as for the hearing test.... I wish I knew what to tell you. Don't overthink it I suppose. I kept hearing those damn beeps long after the test was over.

Yup, Don't go with any extras like TP chunks or dingleberrys.  If you really want to throw them off balance, let one rip just as you spread em!  When you do just exclaim "I didn't know it was loaded!"
