Military Medical Records – How do I get a copy?
JD asked:
I will be taking the ASVAB on Tuesday and the officer said to bring a copy of my medical records. I just remembered now so I need to somehow get them on Monday. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Your medical records are your property. Ask the doctor or hospital and they must supply you with the records. Since the office will not be open until Monday, you may not get them in time.

I do not know why anyone would tell you to bring your med records to MEPS when you take your ASVAB unless you have already disclosed some medical issues. That is not standard procedure just so you know. But your medical records are for your viewing, but your doctor may charge you to make a copy of what you need. If you do not know what they want your records for already, I would ask specifically WHY they want to see them. Normally they should be able to get ALL the information they need through your MEPS physical and your medical questionaire. The medical records COULD hurt your chances of getting in at all depending on what they say. Be careful of what you disclose to anyone in this fashion. If they want to know something, they can ask you in person or see it for themselves.
