Most of us who entered UPT off the street did so when we got an actual Flying Class 1 Physical by the nearest USAF Flight Medicine office and not MEPS. Getting a physical at MEPS is a change over the last 10 years so most of us aren't knowledgeable about what happens there. For the Glaucoma Puff test you can have a civilian Opthamolagist do one for you if you're not sure you'll pass, otherwise there's no way for you to know. Lay off the coffee that day...caffeine artificially raises your interocular pressure (what the puff test measures).
