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 ?

I agree with the LTC. Be careful of ANYTHING that you decide to put on the internet!! It will always come back to bite you in the ass.
Starting to build an initial background with the military of your choice is a great piece of your personal history. It can augment your resume as well as your future personality when in groups of other friends.
However, if you begin that part of your future with a lie, it can create extremely disastrous repercussions IF (because of the lie) another service member is harmed or killed, due to a major problem initiated by your heart issue!! "THAT" will not only follow your (for the rest of your life) but can get you DD.
You will be required to 'swear an Oath' based on the Constitution of these United States! DO NOT TAKE THAT LIGHTLY.

MEPS will check all of your medical records, since you stated that you lied to them on a public website it could be cause for providing false and misleading information to a government agency. The best thing to have done was to be honest in the first place.

Well, I was a Navy Brat, so I owned up to everything. Due to the Navy having my records already.

How are you suppose to remember a medical condition you were told at 6 years old and never mentioned again

I don't think they will unless you screw up somewhere and they go digging through all of your records. BTW, don't ever lie again if you are in the military.

Everyone has lied at mepps. You think no one has ever done any weed before. The trick is to never admit and deny deny deny.

Firstly, posting publicly was dumb and I’d delete your question ASAP. Secondly, yes they can and will. One of my friends lies on his MEPS for the Marine Corps and almost got PRB’d out of the program. Luckily he stayed in the program because the medical issue was minor. A heart murmur isn’t a minor thing, especially in a military setting where sudden, unprovoked, high levels of stress is a commonality. By lying about having one you not only put yourself at risk, but you are making your future command and unit liable for your safety. I hope you understand that if you drop dead from this, several good men will lose their careers over it. Make sure your doctor clears you and don’t lie in the future, first thing you’ll learn in the military is integrity.
