I lied at meps . I was told I had heart murmur when I was 6 and was told that I would grow out of it little to say I didn’t they found it at meps . I have to go to a cardiologist 3 weeks from now to say if it’s a no go or not . The doctor who found it said it not a big deal and they will let me in . But I’m afraid that they will go back on my medical records and find out I lied . A bunch of others told me to just play dumb . What do you think will they look back on my medical records after finding a heart murmur ?

Well if you lie about knowing that you have a heart condition you will be processed out under medical 200.. I don't have a clue how you could remember something that old, I have hard time to remember what I had for breakfast the other day!
If you are trying to used this information to get out of the training it will work out for you because the Army doesn't need costly liability.

Heart murmurs are nothing. I've lived my entire life with one and didn't know it until my 30s

If you went through a physical and they didn't hear it, then you're pretty much golden

Lying is not in line with the Army values. Where is your integrity? This also applies for the rest of you that are saying it is ok to lie.

SGT (Join to see) - No we do not all lie. I do not lie, and driving 5 miles over the speed limit is not lying. Why don't you post your picture and have your profile verified.

What medical records? Your family doctor's online medical records? Were you a dependent, therefore your medical records are the military's? If not, don't worry about it, that's why you are going to a cardiologist.

Accession medical standards (MEPS) and medical retention standards are different per DoD. Don’t worry, let medical professionals do their job. A heart murmur in and of its self is not an automatic non-retention determination. In all cases you will be medically evaluated and then evaluated for physical limitations surrounding the murmor. Be transparent about it to the doc.

As a veteran that worked as a corpsman once you go to a cardiologist and if they clear you you should have no worries. This is actually small bean in terms of lies. Most of the time anyway a murmur clears up over time or is benign which won’t disqualify you. I wouldn’t worry to much about it. For as many people that go through MEPS for them to search everyone’s medical record is overboard.

The Doc told you it probably wouldn't be an issue so what are you worried about? That when you were 6 they found it and said you would grow out if it so you didn't say anything? Don't worry about it and stop being a dumbass. You're going pal!

I hmm no the stupidest things are admitting it. Won’t say what my hident truths were but I never admitted them even when I thought I was busted ever. Over decade service. Keep your things to yourself. And let the haters hate.

Have you known all along and purposefully lied to try and get in, or were you recently reminded by your parents after telling them the process your are going through of joining, so you unknowingly lied while filling out the medical forms and answering the answers? If you lied, and they find out, enjoy life beyond that of the military. But if you have honestly been recently made aware then stand your ground. Forums can be daunting and people harsh, but not all the facts may lie on the table when initially dropped for a quick answer... I have found that of millennials - hurried questions without the facts in their entirety - I have two...
