MEPS

There are 65 MEPS locations across the United States, all run by USMEPCOM. Most recruits visit twice: once to qualify and sign their contract, and once on Ship Day. During your first visit you complete the CAT-ASVAB (if not done via PiCAT), the full medical examination (DD 2808), background verification, job classification, and the Oath of Enlistment. Recruits typically stay in a contracted hotel the night before.
