What's the deal with MEPS Denver?

Hello! So, I've heard this term 'MEPS Denver' floating around when people talk about the military, and I couldn't help but wonder, is it tied to a specific branch or is it a general military thing? Any info on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

MEPS stands for Military Entrance Processing Station. This is a Department of Defense joint-service organization staffed by military and civilian personnel. There are 65 MEPS located across the U.S., and Denver is one of these locations.

The role of a MEPS is the same regardless of its location - it's not tied to a specific branch of the military, but serves all branches. The MEPS is the place where you officially decide which branch of service you'll join and your specific job in that branch. The personnel at MEPS will ensure you are qualified and prepared for military service.

In MEPS Denver, or any MEPS, you will undergo a physical, choose your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), and take the oath of enlistment. You'll also sign your enlistment agreement and be briefed on your enlistment contract.

The visit to MEPS is a crucial part of the enlistment process. It's important to come prepared and to be truthful in all of your responses to ensure your best fit within the military.
