I am going tomorrow in Sacramento, and it is too late to call a recruiter for this question.

Sure. I showed up at MEPS in an indian print skirt and a peasant blouse with mocassin boots. You should've seen the face of the Marine at the front desk. LOL. So long as the shorts are appropriate (not Daisy Duke short) and not hanging off of you, you'll be fine. It's hot as Hades in Sacramento. They won't expect you to show up in khakis. Good luck love!

dude you're not in the military yet, wait untill you get in to buy into their head games. If I could go back in time, I would've rolled up to meps with a moe hawk, a full beard, and I would've slept the entire time I was their. Its meps, not basic training, the nco's there will try to sound tough and make you do things a certain way, but they didn't get stuck at meps because they were great soldiers. Don't worry about it, wear what you want.

Yes you can wear shorts..
You also HAVE to wear socks. No joke. Despite the fact you're going to be barefoot and almost naked for most of your time there, you really do have to wear them.

Wear whatever you want it doesn't matter, it's not like they are going to turn you away for what your wearing. You will be wearing it for a couple days though until you get your head shaved bald and your new army fatigues.

Whatever you wear to MEPS is what you'll have on for then next few days. I would suggest no shorts.

Yes, you can.
Once you go to boot camp, they'll issue you some other clothes.
