Can you fail MEPS?

Yes, kind of. MEPS itself isn’t something you can really fail, its what happens at MEPS that can disqualify (or fail) you from service. While at MEPS you’ll have to take the ASVAB if you haven’t already and you’ll have to go through a physical.

What comes after the ASVAB test?

If you pass the ASVAB and physical, you will be able to swear into the military on that same day. Some of the military branches will ask you to head to basic training after you have completed MEPS. Your recruiter will prepare you for this process.

Do you go to MEPS right after the ASVAB?
