I lied at MEPS. Will they go back and look through my medical records?

I joined the army and when they found out I had asthma, they put me out on a medical discharge. 6 months later I joined the National Gaurd and went to Basic training AGAIN. The asthma never acted up and everything was fine. My CO knew about it and wouldnt try to punish someone who only wanted to serve.

Just platy ignorant and deny knowing you had one. How the hell do you remember what you heard when you are 6?

Here's a story of a dude I knew.

He wanted to go to OCS and become an officer in the Marine Corps. He had been diagnosed with asthma as a child but never again through the rest of his life. He wanted to do the right thing, and fought for 4 years to get a waiver for something he knew he never really had. He fought it very hard, as he had to get it from a certain group of doctors in the Navy for a specific job he wanted. The people he was working with lied to him, as they were tired of hearing from this person.
Dude got mad. He enlisted instead and decided he'd go another way. He ended up becoming a grunt, and spent the next 5 years doing grunt stuff until he jacked up his shoulder.

Morale of the story.

The guy knew it wasn't an issue but he made damned sure he busted his ass before hand to prove to himself it wasn't. Only then did he say fuck it and do what you did. I'd recommend if your going to maintain the lie, you get out there and run your dick into the mud to make sure it's not gonna be an issue. If you go into combat arms, you gotta remember there are other lives depending in you, and if your heart shits itself at the wring time, you can get a lot of people killed.

Don't even worry bout it if u pass boot camp. No biggie. Just go with flow if they find out just say u didn't know now. Just say u grew out of it. They never let me in. When I had asthma. I hated that so much cuz others got in and they refuse my volunteerjng. Here I was dying to serve.my country. And they refuse. You lucky to get in. Stay with it don't give up. If they do find out. And try to 4f u. Tell hell no. You have a right. To serve and all. Don't let anyone try stop u. I did all I could to get in . But with the asthmatic issues I had. I had to finally accept the fact they would not take me. And I might not survive the gas Chamber. All I wanted to do was be a chef. So became damn good on in the civilian world.

This was not a question to post on a public website man.

yeah... PLEASE go to basic and die of CHF... PLEASE! No more retards like your lyin ass needed. Your mom will be proud that you tried to join the military but pissed when you get ZERO financial backing from it... IF you pass BCT, you won't last long in AD component

They are primarily concerned with here and now not the past. However, they may scan through them to see if there is a history of heart murmurs. With all that being said if they decide you are a medical risk you’ll be thanked for applying nothing legal.

It truly needs to be your choice to tell the truth and request a waiver. As someone else put it "Will it effect your job performance?" Many ppl lie at MEPS just to be able to serve is what most want. I personally discharged a Soldier under a fraudulent enlistment since she failed to perform or continue her contract. She changed her mind after AIT and gave me a sob story. I went out of my way to assist her and informed her that she needed to see a recruiter or retention NCO to try to change her MOS. Also, while she is looking for a new unit at her new home, in another state, she must continue to stay in good standing and perform duty. She failed all requests and I started to process her out as a Non-participant (Reservist). Then I received a letter from her doctor stating she hurt her knee in Basic Training. That is when I went through her medical record and found out she had 2 suicide attempts prior to enlistment. There are no waivers for suicide attempts. So I processed her out and she got nothing in the end.

A childhood heart murmur didn't keep me out of the army in 1964, but back then, if you walked into the place where they were giving the draft physicals, you passed. I told them about it, and they took out that big "1A" stamp and put it on my papers. Anyway, Jason, lying on official documents is a very BIG no-no. You screwed the pooch. Maybe you'll get lucky...maybe not.

Think of it this way, you don't get caught. Something happens while on the battlefield and you have just put your buddies lives in more danger than they already were.
