MEPS - Weight Issue?
To officially join the Military, a recruiter will schedule your visit to a MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station). MEPS determines an applicant's physical qualifications, aptitude, and moral standards as set by each branch of military service.
​
The military intake process typically involves the following steps:
-
Meet with a recruiter: Your recruiter will discuss physical requirements with you.
-
Take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB): This multiple-choice exam, which can take about three hours, helps determine which military specialties you might be suited for. It covers topics such as math, science, language, mechanical and electronic knowledge, and more. Each branch of the military has its own minimum enlist score based on the ASVAB, which helps determine the jobs you can do after enlisting.
-
Pass a physical examination
-
Meet with a counselor and determine a career
-
Take the Oath of Enlistment

Is your weight delaying your process of enlistment? Perhaps we can assist you in qualifying – both painlessly and healthily.
The weight limits in the army are higher for new recruits compared to those already serving. The chart below applies to current military personnel. If you are a new recruit, note that your weight limit is slightly higher. However, don't be misled by this initial allowance. Once enlisted, you will be required to meet the lower weight standards quickly, so it’s best to start within those limits right away!
