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 ?

Like the LTC said this is a public website and like Facebook.
Any one can see.
I strongly sujest that you tell your recurter the truth and hope they let you enlist with a waver.
Wavers are granted all the time.

I don't endorse lying but, you would have to sign a release for someone to read your medical records.

I know a lot of people lie at meps. Army values aside it's your ethical decision to make. Is lying to serve a huge issue? It depends on if the condition still exists and what job you end up taking. You have to live with that. If you don't get caught because you posted on a public network site, then learn this: never put anything that makes people doubt you in writing. Your company commander could stumble on this in the future and use it to chapter you out.

Putting it on a Network site that only military go on, including people that work at meps. For others looking at this, integrity is the best option in the beginning.

People like you who hide health issues end up making radical changes to the way Armed Forces operate. Changes in instructions, SOPs, etc that make them too soft because the upper leadership ends up thinking that PT and PT tests, for example, are too hard because recruits are getting hurt. People that hide health problems create unnecessary misconceptions. Just tell the truth.

Look, whatever name is, please pull your application to join. The best thing for our country is for you to never ever, and I mean fucking ever, be apart of a live fire mission. I would say, even the quartermasters branch wouldn’t take you. They’d call Jessica Lynch back before they’d give you a seat in a vehicle. Shit, we’re in trouble y’all, big trouble!
