So colse to 2 months ago I went down to Meps to take the Asvab and let me tell you, it wasn't that bad. Except for the civilians that think their military, it went alright. My caress was based of me going 2 times to Meps, one for the Asvab, then two for the medical.
Part 1 - The Main Desk
Asvab Study
When you first go to Meps, you'll enter straight through this metal detector and you know the rest. Then your sent into a line which for me had colse to 10 habitancy waiting to be called to the front desk. The rest of everyone else, which was 50+ habitancy are shippers who are leaving to Bmt. Once it's your turn to the front desk, you let them take a mugshot of you! Then they tell all the paperwork your recruiter gave you and after all of that, they give you a nice big seal to put on your shirt. The next part is the waiting game...
Part 2 - The Waiting Room
Once you received your minuscule sticker, your allowed one free lunch depending on what time it is. I say this because if you go to Meps too late, the cafe is concluded so my advice is get there early. Anyways, now you wait to be called again to take the test. While this time, I advise you go on your phone and study some (which I did).
Part 3 - The Call to Duty (and it's not the game)
Finally after all this waiting around, you get Called! They let everyone line up in a particular file line and show the way you upstairs. Once upstairs, you'll be meet by enlisted personal which sit you in a briefing room and tell you to read this binder. Inside this binder includes all the minuscule data which would be no cell phones while testing, etc. The rules I should say! Once you read it, you put it back under your seat and wait again! Yes, I know you, you'll be tired of this waiting! Then out of no where, the enlisted personal will call your name and ask a few questions. You'll give them the rest of your paperwork and once approved, they'll send you into the room with all the computers (finally huh!).
Part 4 - The Asvab
Once they seat you, the computer tells you instructions and from there you begin your testing. The test consists of separate parts including: Math, Science, Verbal Knowledge, etc. After taking the test which took me colse to 2 hours to complete, you'll raise your hand and let them know your done (but your authentically not!). Staff comes over and inputs an additional one test depending on what branch of service your joining and yes, you have an additional one test to do! This one has no right or wrong answers, it's more of a personalty test. After completion, you'll go to the front of the room and let the staff know your done. They'll print out your scores which they put in a envelope. You'll be asked not to open it and instead give it to your recruiter for him/her to open. At this point for me, I was anxious wanting to know my score. Luckily I got a relatively high score which was surprising!
Part 5 - The Recruiter Office
You get to see your scores here and a book of jobs your able to do based on your scores! Please be aware that to get a job you probably want in the Air Force, your going to need a 50 Afqt on the Asvab. Once you looked colse to in the binder of jobs, your recruiter will set you up to go again for your curative exam. This is a whole other story which I'll be writing a separate description about! Until then...
Tips:
Don't wear any hats while in Meps (I learned the hard way!) Get there early to receive your free meal! Study while waiting colse to to be called. Trust me, it works! Treat all the civilians with respect and you'll be respected. Saying "Yes Sir" "No Sir" will get you far while at Meps.
