I'm currently a freshman at TAMU. I was wondering if anyone has any info on SQ 18, as I plan on joining this unit next semester as a frog. Also, would anyone have any info on what is all needed to join sports physical? Drug test? Body fat percentage? MEPS? Thanks.

Congrats on deciding to join. As long as you're motivated to improve yourself and be awesome, you'll be fine.

I'm sure there's someone on here more familiar with current requirements, but I'm pretty sure MEPS isn't required for the Corps, BF% only if you're over weight, physical is required, and drug test no. Although I hope you're not worried about a drug test? They do those randomly throughout the semester. I know some people that were tested multiple times, and some that were never tested.

No not worried, just curious. I know they do random much like UIL did for us in sports. I'm so excited to join, I know it'll be hard, but I'm ready.

I'm a former CO of SQ 18. Send me an email and I will put you in touch with current outfit leadership who can help you get the ball rolling. I'm not comfortable posting their contact information.

And I'll see you in January at the SOW barbecue.
