Question
I went to meps in February and got DQ'ed for being one percent over on body fat. i passed everything else. Ive lost the weight and im going back this week. do i have to go through the blood test and urinalysis again or just tape test. my recruiter said yes but the head recruiter said no?
Dear Juan --
MEPS doctors will usually make you go through the full screening again. This is to ensure your reduction in weight or body fat is not due to illegal drugs that can endanger your health.
Good luck to you. Please write back, if you have other questions.
