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 ?

Back in 1965 my brother-in-law had a heart murmur and he was still drafted anyway.

First NEVER lie on a Government form, second I had a slight heart murmur and still was medically cleared. It wasn't a big deal because it didn't effect my health. But it could bite you in your ass for lying

Not a good statement to be made on a PUBLIC DOMAIN ! Do not be surprised if you get contacted by DOD .

As a former assistant personnel officer, I can assure you that eventually, it will pop up as will any other discrepancies, i. e. : traffic tickets, other convictions, marriages, divorces, bankruptcies and in my day most of the time you were sent packing! Tell the truth in the beginning because it is not worth it to get caught down the road!

First of all this is not the place for you to unload your dirty laundry. If the MEPS doctor told you stuff, then run with it and stop lying. Why would I want to work with you if you lie. I feel you should choose a different profession where the lives of the people entrusted in you don’t have to worry about you lying.
Secondly as I have worked a meps and dealt with kids who lie. When the doctor caught your murmur, he or she may have saved your life. Go get it fixed and try again stop lying to get a job. We want people who are trustworthy

You must keep it on going. Every physical you do. If you try flight school, special forces , your physical will be gone over with a fine comb. I did, because I knew they wouldn’t except me, but my drive and never quit attitude motivated me and my issue, I actually grew out of, after Airborne School in 80’

Always a good policy to don't lie! If u make it in just stay on the straight and narrow.
