I have an approved DD368 from the NG to go active army, my recruiter said meps was closed due to corona. If it is, how long is it supposed to be closed / is there an expected date for it to open again? My 368 expires June 10th.

I would call on Monday to see if there is a response. There should be a recorded message if MEPS is closed.

I know this post is a month old, but I am in a similar situation and wanted to share what little information I have received. I’m going reserve-active right now and am also just waiting to go to MEPS. My recruiter/liason explained that the individual army offices at every meps location is deciding whether to operate or now depending on the density of the virus in their surrounding area. My meps location is up in Mass, and since my meps location (and I assume yours in NJ) are still in the hotspots for the virus, they aren’t opening yet. They are re-evaluating every 14 days. Hopefully your recruiter is keeping up with his recruits and will let you know as soon as you are able to go again. Right now mine is hoping to reopen for army/Air Force after Memorial Day. Hopefully yours opens up soon as well!

I went to MEPS June 5 2020.
My release expired June 2nd but since it had already been signed off on the expiration date changed to what the TAG set it for ( which was the new fiscal year ) so MEPS in Alabama is up and running but taking precautions like wearing face masks and checking temps.
