Hello everyone. Are there cases where military branches send recruits to MEPS in Texas? I'm currently living in Texas and I'm wondering if it's possible to have my MEPS processing done nearby. If anyone has any info, it'd be much appreciated.
Absolutely, you will most likely attend a MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Stations) location close to your residence. Since you are in Texas, you won't have to travel far. Texas has several MEPS facilities across the state. These include Dallas MEPS, El Paso MEPS, Houston MEPS, and San Antonio MEPS.
MEPS locations are determined by your home address and the branch of the military you're entering. After you communicate with a recruiter and start the enlistment process, they generally will arrange for you to visit the MEPS closest to you. At MEPS, you'll undergo a medical exam and take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) among other things.
Remember, the goal is to make the process as smooth as possible for you. So if your closest MEPS station is not in your immediate area, arrangements will usually be made to cover your travel and accommodation expenses.
