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 ?

Admit you didn't mention it ... a murmur can be a benign, non-issue. Many folks grow out of them and never really know they are there. Then, let the docs figure it out. They may elect to do a more comprehensive cardiac workup.

The doctors heard something on my examination, and ignored it. Many years later, a cardiologist also heard it while examining me in an emergency room for a bleeding ulcer. He described the murmur as an enlarged chamber of my heart that actually makes my heart stronger. Who knew something like this was even possible? I had a great 20 year carreer.

Had a guy in my flight in USAF basic who lied about a heart condition at MEPS. Dude died of a massive heart attack during morning PT about 2 weeks in.

we all lied and if you say you didn't then you're lying. The only people who probably didn't is officers because college helped them get in.

Recruiters lied to you, I'm sure. It's all good. I would try and get a RASP contract (option 41) and lie a bunch to the cadre. Lying is their favorite thing.

Maybe you should look outside of the military for a career. Do you really think posting this on social media is anything other than a lame attempt to garner attention and to try to elicit sympathy?

As an IG once I found a fraudulent enlistment after the Soldiers 16 years of service. They didn't make it to 17.

If MEPS knew how can they go back on your medical record and if the doctor said you were qualified I'm assuming, i guess I am confused.

yes, but your best bet is to say you forgot or something. They probably will kick you out and let your reaaply.

Just roll with it. We had a guy make it all the way to the first live fire exercises, EITH PARKINSONS before he got the boot. Heart murmers aren't rare, you should be good to go. I have chronic migraines, its in my medical records, my recruiter had me lie about them
