They'll check your eyesight and color perception, eyes, ears, nose, and throat, x-ray your chest and listen with a stethoscope, abdomen, check for hernia, rectal exam, a quick neurological check, then blood work and urinalysis. It is fairly thorough, and one step short of a flight physical. Later, if you are HALO qualified, you'll get the full works (flight phys) with an EKG thrown in. A big part of it is a review of your medical history since your last physical.
