What to bring to MEPS?

I have mad stage fright, so should I just drink a ton of water and hope the magic happens?

You want to be an officer, so dress like one. Starch your shirt and wear slacks with a nice belt and some nice shoes.

Take your time with the vision parts. I failed the depth perception test cause I thought I had bullet proof vision.

Oh, and make sure your underwear FITS. The guy in front of me for the squats wore boxers that were too big, and had to go get a belt to hold 'em up.

Nobody will give a shit what you're wearing, and most people won't even know that you're applying for an officer slot. I wouldn't recommend wearing a nice shirt and slacks because you're going to be dressing/undressing quickly, and it's a pain in the ass to do that with dress clothes.

A pair of proper fitting, unripped jeans and short sleeved polo shirt is the best option.

What time should I show up? I know a lot of the recruits that are enlisting stay in a nearby hotel and are bussed over. I was going to drive over (it's only about 2 miles south of my campus - MSU). So, what time should I be waiting outside?

Plan to show up at least 15 minutes prior to when your recruiter told you to show up.
