My husband just did his physical but they run out of urine sample cup. Can he go back to MEPS without his recruiter?

They told him to go back to MEPS withing 72 hours or he will have to re do the entire process. His recruiter is not listening to him when he told him that he needs to go back withing 72 hours.

Yes, he calls MEPS and tells them he is coming provides the recruiter is unavailable. I find it extremely odd that they ran out of cups. There may be more there, there. Good luck.

I'm sorry but this smells fishy. A MEPS running out of urine sample cups is like McDonalds running out of fries. Just saying.....

MEPS will contact the recruiter and put it in your spouse's e file. No way a recruiter is gonna let an enlistee go. Sounds off to me. I need more details.

He should be just fine going back up there. If there is a problem he can always call his recruiter. There will be paperwork showing what he needs to do.

Hmmm sounds hard to believe they would run out of such a needed supply, but hey strange things happen.

More importantly I am wondering why your husband is not dealing with this problem and having you deal with it?
