I'm an 18 year old female going to MEPS tomorrow and I'm nervous about the physical. I'm physically fit, but have some worries:
I have a laceration on my thigh that's healing. It's about the length from fingertip to second knuckle. Everything's healed except the end which was wider. It about the size of a pea and its scabbed up. Scar tissue is forming around the edges. Will this be a problem? It's not infected.
I read that they'll be looking for "plantar scars or plantar warts". I had one on the pad of my foot when I was young and it was cut out, so I have a teeny scar (not really that noticeable) and it doesn't affect me at all. Is this going to be an issue?
When I was 13, I went through a 2 week period of severe depression and cut my thigh in three places. The scars arent that noticeable, but of course they'll be looking for things like this. It was so long ago, but I'm afraid they wont pass me for "self injury/depression". I have no other history of self injury and no other "suspicious" scars except one on my hand thats in the shape of an "x". It's smaller than a dime.
And my right knee cracks when I do squats, but it doesn't hurt.
 
Remember that you will be there with a lot of other people who they have to process, so hopefully they move you through quickly.
Don't defeat yourself before you give yourself a chance.
Keep in mind, if they think you are emotionally unstable at this point, there is a huge chance they won't want to teach you how to use weapons.
good luck!!!!
