This is the same test they gave us when I went for my flight physical, if you can do these you should be okay.

That's what happens when they lose your vaccination records.

I had some AF Sgt that took my blood, and blew up the vein, so my arm was black and blue for a couple of weeks.

he blew it up? I hate it when that happens. what did he use, C4? A grenade, ICBM?

Some HM2 did that to both my arms in Jax. They thought I was bad with needles since I was about ready to pass out. I said flat out, that guy sucks, can someone do it right?
 
what do they do if you make bonehead mistakes?
i.e. call a 73 as 13 or a really fat 6 as an 8 but get the majority right?

then they administer the FALANT test I believe, you have to get a certain amount correct on that one to pass, its supposed to be a little easier but I wouldn't know cause I passed the first one.

the one that makes me mad is the depth perception test. my eyes will NOT work with those machines/aparatii; i have fantabulous depth perception. ?!?!

Is the FALANT test the one where there are three lights in a vertical line and you have to tell what color light is on? If so, you might have to take a "plate test" like the link in the first post and still take the FALANT even if you ace the plate test. That's what happened to me, and even though I thought the plate test was pretty simple, the colored-light test was significantly easier. Also, those depth perception machines are kinda tricky - if your eyes aren't lined up just right on the eyepiece then everything looks off a little bit. Remember, if you think your eyes are better than what they tell you at MEPS you can always go get a civilian professional to check you out. Well worth the cost, in my opinion. You're SOL if you are colorblind and/or have no depth perception, but definitely get a second opinion if you don't pass at MEPS.

I agree with the civilian doc thing though! Thankfully I can just pass the stereowhatever with 8/10 when 6/10 is fail. *whew*
