 Hey guys, welcome back to airman vision today. I want to be talking about what to expect from the underwear Olympics at meps The exercises are the same whether you are male or female So the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna go into a room So me and all the ladies went into a room and you stripped down all the way to your underwear and your bra Now ladies make sure you wear a bra that has like that kind of strap Don't wear a sports bra because they need to see as much of your body as possible First thing you're gonna fill out a tattoo birthmark and scar form and if you need to there is Measuring stick in there at least in my room there was so some girls had tattoos on their legs They had to measure it and you had to notate how big your tattoos and scars and all that were for me I notated a birthmark on my arm and they also said to notate any piercings So other than your ears, so I have my nose pierced so I put scar down for that Also have my belly button pierced and I put scar down for that and you'll fill out that form And then you just sit there and wait for the doctor to come in and then it'll get started from there Now you're literally not gonna have anything on besides your underwear guys and ladies You're gonna have your underwear and your bra You'll be completely barefoot and the very first thing is They will have you stand like this I'm also saying it in the order that I went through it obviously for you guys You'll do similar things, but probably not in the exact order So they'll have you stand at like a 45 degree angle. There were only six of us girls So one two three and then there was a row in front of us one two three And the doctor would walk by each row and she came through and was looking at our feet and our toes and our arches She'll just kind of walk through and say, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay? Make sure you don't have any nail polish on your fingernails or your toenails The next thing we did you can stand back regular again, and then you do the arm swings and You just keep doing it until the doctor says not to or she gives you other instruction because there's other people to see And she needs to watch everybody So you just keep doing it until you hear otherwise don't be that person who like they're like, okay do arm swings and you're like But she was like looking at that person. They can't she can't see you arm swings and the doctor will show you what to do And she'll be like, okay start and then she'll be like, all right, then do it backwards now You'll do it until you're told not to then we did this where we put our arms straight out and you put your thumbs up and you Pop them in real quick and you pop them out real quick locking your elbows. That was very important None of this like easy. Oh easy because they are seeing how your elbow joints work So you gotta do it real quick out real quick and real quick out real quick Then she had us just put our hands like this and she came through and just looked at our thighs and our legs So she would walk around and get down to each person and she looked at her legs I'm not sure exactly what she was looking for But you just stand there like this and she'll walk in front of you Then she'll walk behind you and do the same thing to the next group next is holding your feet up behind you like this So I'll turn Sideways and you do a one foot at a time So you'll hold this foot up and she'll walk behind and look at everybody's feet and she'll say okay You're good. You're good. You're good. Go to the next person And then I was the very last one she looked at me and said you're good and you'll do this You put the other one up and then she'll go around say you're good Once she says you're good You can put your feet back down and just stand there next we held our hands straight out like this and Did the same thing walked by and just looked at everyone individually So I kept my hands out like this and she kind of started on my palm and just looked like up my arm She might turn it if she wants to same thing on the other Next we did windshield wipers with our hands so she can see how our wrist joints move. She may have you do it Facing down or your hand facing up or both and then we did fists in and out Like this then she had all of us bend over Just like this and just kind of reaches for it down as you can I would say just be like you don't have to try to stretch But just bend over and hang as low as you can and then she'll walk by and she's looking at your back And your spine and when she taps you then you'll stand up So when she walks behind me, she'll tap me I'll stand up that way she can see how my spine works I love moving up and down and if she wants you may say okay bend back over Tap stand up Then we did one where you have to keep your hands All the way up and you want it to be like touching your ear and then you're gonna smack it down to your legs without Hitting your legs, so you'll smack it down and stop drastically and then she'll go back up by your ears and down back up by your ears and down So serious me I don't know. It's just a funny movement Just kidding. Don't do that. I would say be serious when you're in there Because you just don't want to get singled out for anything So just do exactly what the doctor says and don't draw any attention to yourself Next we did something where we put our hands like this in front of you But you want to put it in front of your eyes where it blocks your vision and the doctor will tell you So if I am looking at the camera like this I'll put my hands out in front of me, but I'll block my vision from that camera So as I'm doing that I'm gonna be on my tiptoes so you're on your tip toes blocking your vision from what straight ahead and then You just go down and bring your arms down beside you. I think that's what we did I remember the block the vision part and I'm pretty sure we just went down And then we go back on our tip toes and block the vision like that a few times And I think that's just to see what your coordination is like next you'll stand one foot at a time And you'll put your foot out and you'll point your toe and then she'll have you move it around one way Move it around the other way You'll curl your toes and then same thing point you're moving around one way Try to stay balanced, but if not it's okay Move it the other way and this one. They're just checking for how your ankle moves and you'll curl your toes All right, then one leg at a time. Obviously or you would fall you're gonna bring your knee up Where it's about 90 degrees. She might ask for it to be higher so you'll bring your knee up and then you're gonna Point your foot up where you're like crushing a can with your heels kind of how she explained it But you're gonna stop again. You're not gonna hit your foot to the ground So knee up point your toe up and crush a can but stop like that Basically here knee up lock out your knee knee up lock out your knees and then we would do it Backwards just same thing lock out your knee, but we're pushing back this time and then you'll switch and do it to the other one and she had us do a squat and I'm gonna be honest my knees crack. They don't hurt me. I don't have problems with my knees, but let's see if it happens this time So when we were in there before the doctor came in I was in there going Like that to get like the pops and cracks out and I would like twist my ankles and Pop my fingers to try to get all the pops out before the doctor came in So might be a good tip for you if she heard that it probably would have been Her head would have whipped like What was that? All right, next thing that we did is we got into a squat position So be on your tiptoes and you're just gonna squat down And that's really it after that she is gonna have you bring your legs together and then Whoo Trying to stay balanced while your knees are together She's gonna have each person go one by one and you're gonna drop to your knees like that now make sure Both knees and it doesn't have to be hard. We were on tile floor So of course you don't want to hurt your knees But you want to make sure both hit at the same time and you will be able to hear it She wants to make sure it's a do Not a Then you are gonna walk on your knees just five steps is what she had us do so you're just gonna go And then you'll get back in that squat position You'll be like this and then what she wants from here is for you to get back up on your feet Without using your hands no hands You don't have to do it fast so just take your time and try to balance yourself Then of course you have the notorious duck walk that everyone talks about take your time Don't feel like all that person's ahead of me But that doesn't matter what the duck walk is is you'll put your weight on one side And even I would kind of lose my balance with it Just take your time put your weight over here and you'll step out with your heel It doesn't have to be a big step, but basically it's heel toe heel toe That's what you want to do. You'll go heel and you'll transfer your motion. Don't do that It's hard when you're going super slow. So our weights over here heel toe not always here heel you'll transfer your weight over toe Like that and then you'll do five steps or however many they ask for and then you'll just turn around like this Like a duck and do the same thing Even me I'm a little wobbly, but it's okay. Just be slow You can do anything with your hands other than using it to help yourself balance on your legs The very last thing that she had us do was a power walk fast hard steps It is basically to catch people up on like if they have a limb It is not embarrassing very simple movements that you have to do They're just seeing how your joints work and how your body moves and making sure that you are in Good enough shape to be able to go into the military, of course And then after all the underwear Olympics are over is when the doctor will do their one-on-one Medical evaluation with you. All right guys. I hope this video helps you prepare for meps Practice the duck walk. I practiced it a little bit before I went because it is a weird motion And if it's not something you're used to doing you'll probably like topple over a little bit And the main thing the doctor's looking for is that you can keep your balance like that
