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

You're on that bus by yourself pally!

They will now.

No worries

Honesty probably won't even make it through basic with all the running that you do and depending on your job you wouldn't last either I would bring it up to someone all your gonna do is take up a space that someone could be benefit from by joining. I applaud you for wanting to do something thou its noble

Leavenworth ain’t so bad.

I work at MEPS

You understand you will have several physicals over the course of your enlistment, yes? Docs will go through (or should go through) your medical history at every appointment. If you have cardiac trouble down the line, your entire medical history will be reviewed, especially the one at MEPS. That said, there is what your doc told you at 6 years old—and then there is what is documented in your medical record. If you have questions or doubts, get a copy of your medical record and review it with your doc/nurse practitioner/physicians assistant and have them explain to you in plain language what it means. Go back to your recruiter and provide further explanation.

Why do you suppose the MEPPS didn't catch the problem that you are not sure about. Now that said, this organization does have a very dedicated group of people that might look at your writing and take it for granted you in fact lied and signed documents stating you were at a certain level of health. The days of blaming it on the Recruiter are long gone. They are not giving up their career for you and if it ever came into question that recruiter won't possibly know or remember you having a problem. Now that being said, all you have is your word and honor while growing as yourself and as an honest soldier. If you lie it can come back and haunt you! You do not have to remember how and what you said to cover things up. There is no thing to do but tell the truth when asked a question. If you do have question just tell the truth. Good luck and take care.

I guess I'm confused where you lied. From what I understand you told them that you were diagnosed with a heart murmur when you were six and that you would grow out of it. You didn't, and they found it. Is that correct? Most heart murmurs are nothing to worry about and I are classified as an abnormal heart sound. It's like you're on the verge of having a cardiac arrest. Really a civilian cardiologist has very little to say what the military will or will not do. It's really based on the military doctor making the evaluation.

I would come clean to your recruiter and ask for amnesty!
