San Jose Military Entrance Processing Station

I have to come here for work all the time! MEPS is where you join a branch of a military! You have to be let in and go through a metal detector just like any government building. You’re going to be waiting a long time and doing a bunch of stuff but its all worth it when you sign that contract! I gave it 4 stars because they are understaffed and take a while with things that shouldn’t be long… Heres some tips
Bring your Social Security card, birth certificate and driver’s license.
Remove all piercings.
Profanity and offensive wording or pictures on clothing are not tolerated.
Hats are not permitted inside the MEPS.
If you wear either eyeglasses or contacts, bring them along with your prescription and lens case.
Bathe or shower the night before your examination.
Wear underclothes.
Get a good night’s sleep before taking the CAT-​ASVAB.
Wear neat, moderate, comfortable clothing. (NO CRAZY LOGOS OR PLAIN WHITE SHIRTS… they consider it underwear!)
Don’t bring stereo headphones, watches, jewelry, excessive cash or any other valuables.
Ask your recruiter for a list of recommended personal items to bring to basic training.
Processing starts early at the MEPS — You must report on time.
