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 ?

This reminds me of when I went to a large induction center to take the AFOQT (Air Force Officer Qualification Test). It was a long and grueling test and I was sick with the flu. I can remember only one question: Does the smell of sweal repulse you? Of course not. Officers are rough and ready.
So what does that have to do with a physical? Well, the physical was given in the same building.

I think it's important to stress two issues - the first of which has been covered thoroughly in terms of honesty and integrity. Not being forthright at one of the first opportunities in your career does not bode well.
Just as important, withholding medical information puts you and your fellow soldiers at risk (what if you're driving a vehicle and have a cardiac event?) and leaves the service at risk because they simply don't know - because you chose not to tell them. If it involves a heart murmur, is it really worth it if getting in the service means gambling with your life or the life of others? We aren't doctors - that's why we go to doctors to get their input and guidance. Unless you're a cardiologist, this is a decision that we are simply not qualified to make. Be honest with yourself, MEPS, and your future fellow soldiers - get it checked out.

Point clear: we are soldiers, or, we were. Best advice: fess up. No penalties, other than immediate discharge, maybe general or other than honorable, probably upgradeable later. Explain clearly why you lied. If you are a decent soldier , would be dumb if they let you go. You put word out you lied Can't back off now. Wish you all the best.

They can't pull up your medical records unless you sign up for the hippa but if you end up injured they might pull it up

Yes they will and you will be charged for false enters and possible imprisonment.
