LOL thats the first time Ive heard of that one.
What the Air Force normally do is check to see if you have arches in your feet, a non fucked up spine, and able to do some weight lifting.Oh and also have him bend over and spread his ass so the doctor to check his asshole. Also involved is a hearing test, color blindness test, drug test , and a back ground check.
Also a HIV test, and anyother STD test.
Nothing else that I know of.

It's a part of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy I believe.

The STD test is what involves the Q-tip up your pecker. AIDS can be detected by a blood test, but for the clap, the drip, and herpes (I think) they need to take a swab and grow some cultures.

After the Air Force gets done with him, your friend will think he had it easy with that Alien Anal Probe Exam.

When I joined the army I had to turn my head and cough, piss in a bottle, give a little blood and do some deep knee bends. That's about it.
Of course, this was before the HIV stuff. Only time I got rodded in the military was after I fell over a fence during a squad exercise and landed on my canteen, which happened to be too far back on my LBE.
I bruised a kidney and was pissing blood and this idiot SP4 at TMC used his flowchart diagnosis skills to land me under "discharge from penis". I shit you not, he looked my symptoms up in a flow chart and followed it to the best of his limited intelligence. When it didn't have a diamond for "blood in urine" he freaked. Then he referred me to the VD Clinic because he didn't know what else to do, like wake up the damn PA that was on-call and ask him.
The doc laughed when I told him why I shouldn't be in the VD Clinic, but then turned billy badass on me and said he had to rod me since I was sent in. Back in the day, it was a 10 inch long Q-tip on a wooden stick. I was praying it had been sanded WITH the grain.....

Apparently, Q-tip technology hasn't advanced much since then.

It's yer standard "Duck Walk" and turn your head and cough kind of test. They also check yer assholes to see if you have hemheroids. Other than those few awkward moments they check for distinguishing features like scars and tatoos. At least this is how it was back in 83'.

In Jewish concentration camps, if a male was caught with a woman, one of the punishments was inserting a glass rod up the mans penis and then smashing the rod.
Stuff you always wanted to know and you didn't even have to ask!

They don't do the qtip...just a piss test and a blood test...and a regular physical...you'll march around a freezing room with 10 other guys in your underwear, that's pretty funny. The asshole check is a hemroid thing...
It's no big deal
and as far as the qtip test...it's uncomfortable as hell...but it's not that bad...i'd rather have it done then face the possible consequences...as for it breaking off...it's not a typical qtip, and it doesn't go in THAT far.

It's not exactly a qtip , but yes they do stick it in your P hole. Doesn't hurt just stings a little.

Hrmm, Truant or OverCubed? I would like to believe Truant. Will know in a few days, but before I go there to get violated, anyone else know for a fact if this happens or not?

Nilaman, I did this last year for the army. There was no q-tip. Just blood test, piss test, hernea test, color blind, vision, hearing, hemroid, spine, arches, height/weight, and they check your flexibility....as in, can you touch your toes and shit...they'll go over your medical history with you, and it's yea or nay from that point.
That's it.

Or maybe the Air Force just has higher standards!

One of my friends leaves in 2 weeks or so also, I think his going away party is the 26th.
I'm going to use the Q-tip one on him lol, I'll have him so fucking nervous...and if it's true it will still be funny.

No no no! Thats beyond cruel! Besides, if he leaves in 2 weeks then he was already sworn in and to get sworn in you have to pass the physical. Soooo I don't think it will work out too well.

I'm in the Air Force and you can be damned sure the drug test part will be there if thats your concern.
Yeah you have to bend over and spread em at MEPS but like everyone said its just a check.
I have no idea about that Q-Tip thing I never had any shit like that. Standard duckwalk, big room lots of others of the same sex in your underoos being checked over for abnormalities and tattos that are considered offensive.
All in all its not that bad.
So where are you MEPSing?

Albany. Im not worried about the drug test, its the Q-tip that sounds more unpleasant.
