Hi new mom here, is it true there is a second swearing in at MEPs the day he leaves for BC that I can attend?

If a recruit arrives on ship out day an is overweight and over BMI BUT her waist is within the accepted range and she can meet or exceed most of the physical requirements and is very close to meeting the run timE, will they send her home.

Totally clueless! My son told me he had to meet with a dr to be evaluated and take the ASVAB. 2 days back to back. Talk to the recruiter last night and that is not the whole story. He is doing the MEPs and suppose to pick a job and swear in. WOW, we are not ready for that quite yet. He is still in HS. Senior year and definitely wants to enlist, but have not even begun researching what job/area he wants to go in. Recruiter just picked him up and they are off. I told him to sign nothing today/tomorrow until we have time to ask questions. Will this hurt his chances to go into the Military? What are the next steps after MEPs? Can he go back in a month or two and sign his job holder and swear in?

Overwhelmed

Hi PaulaMS4 :)

my daughter left today and her boyfriend leaves on 9/9 also!
Are you a member of Boot Camp for Moms? There’s a lot of information on that group including things to do in the last month before they ship.

its quite a ride and I’m really grateful for the experience, information and support offered in that group! There are lots of links with ample information to help us navigate, even with the changes because of COVID. Best of luck and stick around :)

Any advice for a new Navy mom?  My son is heading out to boot camp on 9/9/2020 and I have no idea what to expect.

Need any advice! My son is hoping to leave in August with a buddy. He’s gone thru MEPS and did well in his ASVABS, but he was told he needs to come back and get re-weighed. He is underweight at 6’1” and 113 lbs. he’s muscular and works out but still very thin. It’s been a struggle!! (Totally foreign to my weight dilemmas). He’s drinking mass shakes and eating more but still having trouble. Anyone else have issues like this?

Sorry I meant DEPS! Darn spellcheck!

Hi All! New to the group! My son was sworn in Mar. He is currently “Hurry up and waiting now.” Could be any time July - Sept. My question is... He had 2 DEPA this month. I thought it would be once a month. Is their a reason for 2 or more?

Hello everyone!  I am new to this website and group.  My son was cleared for MEPS and goes this Friday.  He just graduated from HS from a military academy and has basically been in their BC for the last 5 1/2 months..  What are the chances of him shipping from MEPS directly to BC?  He mentioned that he may be placed on DEPS but I'm not sure how all of this works.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
