Quick Q here. I was PQd by MEPS in Sept. From what I've read, it's valid for 2 years. Do I have to revisit MEPS all over again if I plan to resubmit for Jan/Feb?

MEPS physicals are indeed valid for 2 years.

Hey, any quick tips on MEPS? I'm going tomorrow.

I was browsing through some old threads and it was pretty much like "get enough sleep, drink a lot of water, and don't be hungover"....

Definitely drink a lot of water! Try not to fall asleep in the briefing. That can be torturous. Just make sure you listen to how they want everything filled out. It's pretty simple. You do the brief, then you do the five main things: blood, urine, hearing, vision, and the consultation with the doctor to go over your medical history. After all of you have finished, you split in guys and girls. You strip to your undies and do your exercises. Just listen to what they are telling you to do and you will be fine. Then you will go back with the doctor again for an actual physical. It's not much but it can end up being a long day depending on how many other people are there. Some of the people who work at MEPS can be mean and super irritable that early so just move quickly and listen haha!

I recommend doing a little research on the depth perception test.

Many folks I've talked to had a lot of trouble with it at MEPS, including myself. The machines are outdated but "calibrated annually" psh... I made it through line C which does not pass for pilot. So I saw and ophthalmologist and did a full eye exam including the ARC test. I passed with flying colors, 20-15 in one eye 20-20 in the other and the "most difficult" part of the ARC test was a breeze. I was able to submit my results with my medical information, but I highly recommend avoiding this and passing at MEPS.
