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 ?

Most heart murmers are harmless and most likely waverable. Lying, on the other hand, is always dangerous and can lead to unintended disaster!

If at the age of six your parents were told you would grow out of it and you discovered at MEPS you still had it, I don't think you lied. I think you passed on erronous info your parents were given Go to th doctor they are sending you to and find out what they say,

You should not have lied and then this question would not be necessary. The truth works better.

This post carries SOOOOO much facepalm with it...
Did you ever think there was a reason your Recruiter, his/her fellow Recruiters, his/her Center Leader, and everyone all the way up to the swearing Officer had asked you if you were lying? I mean, for even a MOMENT?
The people we let in today... you, your Recruiter, and much of his chain of command and MEPS staff are likely wondering when the investigation is going to begin.
Well done, Boot.

Dear John, intentional or not a heart condition can put you and your shipmates/fellow soldiers at risk if SHTF situation. Stress on the body can do crazy stuff. Do the right thing and come clean. The fact you’re asking on a public forum gives rise to guilt. Stay safe and be well my friend

Your lies are irrelevant. The essential qualification for Military enlistment is passing the requirements of a military physical. You failed the physical, that means your chances of receiving a medical discharge are slim to none. The Military of all places is not where you want to be to have a heart attack. To enlist under your conditions places you in danger to yourself and your fellow soldiers. Your heart might be in the right place but the rest of your body and MEPS says otherwise.

You signed a contract you said everything in it was true but if the MEPS Doctor cleared you, you should be ok as long as your next cardiologist visit is good you should be ok.
But as LTC Mackey said;
THIS IS A PUBLIC FOURM there are Active Duty as well as Veterans on here.
Be careful what you say on this forum.
