Take a shit and don't drink water right before your test. Go dehydrated as fuck. My issue was the opposite so I held in a shit.

Run. Swim. Swimming and a diet change does wonders.

I needed to drop 20 before the Army, work out with your recruiter's office, run on your off time, change of diet, no soda or beer.
As far as foods I had spinach salads for 2 meals a day garnished sparingly with ranch dressing and croutons

Salads are a meme

Have you tried eating food with higher protein

Worked for me

Well. If it works I don’t have much to say then

How much have you dropped so far

You guys tried Apple Cider Vinegar pills?

Nah

They're not bad, keeps hunger down for the most part although some of it might be placebo

Went from 210 to hovering around 182 before I went to MEPS

Then spent 7 days in processing without being able to work out much at all, rip

If he can lose 10 pounds the USMC will do the rest

10lbs shouldn't be a problem, just has to make sure he can do a certain amount of pull ups, push ups ect. They were testing for that at my MEPS for some reason, that or just torturing recruits, it's kind of a toss up

Nope, they've always done that.

They tested us at MEPS back in 2014

For the Marines?

Yes

@Mangy

You should get tested on pullups, situps, and pushups.

Gotcha, the Army doesn't have such requirements before Basic

Then they should weigh you, make you duck walk, fart while an old man looks at your asshole

Then when you go to ship off, you go to the Marine Liason or whatever the fuck his position is there actually and he checks your weight and paperwork, it's a fog because it's so long ago but, you should sign some shit

Stay in a hotel, ship to boot

And unlike the Army, you're separated from the female recruits.

Moisturize before you go into MEPS but not enough that your skin is overly oily

They tried to get me for eczema

They try to get you for anything

That's why when you go to MEPS, you're an olympian

You don't have ADHD, Asthma, never stubbed a toe, and never smoked pot

Also your family is descended from Zeus

Yeah they saw a small red mark on my arm and scheduled a dermatologist for 3 months out

I almost couldn't piss at MEPS, that was about my only trouble

But yeah, ~~~ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH~~~ *lie your ass off*

Except with any criminal portions

Nah, I told em I didn't smoke pot or drink

Or anything tbh

It's easier to remember "I've never smoked it," than "I've only smoked it once," and having to remember that the rest of your career/get a waiver

Just don't have a heart issue and lie about it or some shit

Cause then your retarded ass gonna stroke out, go to RSP (recruit separation platoon,) and some poor PEB Marine is gonna be stuck handling your retarded ass while he waits on getting out
