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

I lied too, I said I was 6’0 but really was 5’11.

I think the biggest concern you should have is whether or not having a heart murmur will limit your ability to go through, and pass basic training. But it doesn't end there! Most likely you'll be deployed to Afghanistan, so think of how the extreme heat, extraneous mission requirements, fatigue, stress from combat, or just beign in theater will affect not just your heart, but and overall health. Other people that have commented on your post are only concerned about you lying to MEPS, your integrity, blah, blah, blah..., but I think the biggest lie is lying to yourself, and end up dead because of it. So, ask yourself, is a little lie worth it?

You might get away with it, but if you're looking for a security clearance or special forces, it will come up.

I found out from our family doctor that I had a heart murmur before I entered college. He told me to do anything I wanted. Two years later I'm taking a draft physical and I told the doctor that I had a heart murmur. (He probably heard that allot) He listened and said , "yes you do, 1A". It didn't bother me during Basic, AIT, Infantry OCS and over twenty five flight physicals. I'm now monitored by a cardiologist. I would let someone know.

It doesn't matter now, they found it. Its up to the doc or the waiver authority. If your Senior Guidance Counselor did his/ her job they have already added the medical discrepancy comments to your record. You should be good. In the future be honest though dude because you will crack under pressure and end up screwing yourself.

MEPS sent you to the cardiologist so he will make the determination if you are fit for duty. You won't be cleared to he says so.

Yes they will go back. A few years ago an Airman lied at MEPS to get free medical care for a medical condition and after the military found out he was dishonorably discharged but I can remember if he had to pay back any money back to the military.

I also had a murmur and it was found again in bootcamp and they said get back to your division and don't be a p#$$y!
Don't worry about it.

If you take your physical and a heart murmur isn't detected you are fine. Heck a bunch of these holier than thou's on here could have had one as well and grew out of it. Heart problems are one of the things they look for on a physical, and you have no knowledge that you have one anymore. Any good doctor would catch it on the physical. In my experience those who are the most indignant and high on their imagined perfect values are the ones who have the most guilt about the baggage they are carrying. When I was 7, I was diagnosed having a hernia it healed itself, I turned my head and coughed at my physical no hernia, yeah me. If some doc puts a stethoscope on your chest and has a listen and you pass good for you. (btw still no hernia)

They probably wouldn’t have until now. You should have ended your question with “asking for a friend”
