U.S Army, A History

• The modern Army had its roots in the Continental
  Army which was formed on June 14, 1775, before
  the establishment of the United States, to meet
  the demands of the American Revolutionary War.
  Congress created the United States Army on June
  14, 1784 after the end of the war to replace the
  disbanded Continental Army. The Army considers
  itself to be descended from the Continental Army,
  and thus dates its inception from the origins of
  that force

ASVAB

• Every applicant for military service must take
  the ASVAB, whcih measures aptitude in a broad
  range of career fields. You may have taken the
  ASVAB in high school or for enlistment purposes.
  If so be sure to tell your Recruiter. If you have
  not completed this test, time is set aside at
  MEPS for you to so. Find out more about the ASVAB

29
MEPS

• The primary job of MEPS is to determine, under
  military regulations, policies, and federal law,
  whether or not you are qualified to serve in the
  United States Armed Forces, and if so, what jobs
  you may qualify for, under individual service
  regulations. Your Recruiter will do some MEPS
  prescreening and once that clears, an appointment
  with your local MEPS can be made. A day at MEPS
  can and will be a long day of testing and
  screening, be prepared for a long day of "hurry
  up and wait."
