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 ?

A premeditated lie (and not just forgetfulness) says something about your character. It doesn't matter what "a bunch of others" tell you to do, what matters is that you make this RIGHT...regardless of the consequences. THAT will say more about your character than anything...this question says a lot about how guilty you're feeling.

Everyone saying they can’t access your medical records because you need to consent: let me tell you this, you signed a consent form to allow MEPS access to all your medical records prior to your arrival at the MEPS for your physical examination.
Also, the military is in need of more bodies so most things are not waiverable unless it’s life threatening to you or causes danger to those around.
90% of non disclosures discovered at the MEPS are found in medical records that were submitted after the fact. Those who make it to training, the attrition rate is about 1/3 due to non disclosures.
I’ll leave this information with you and let you decide what to do with it.

I agree. When you sign up, there really are no secrets. That's why those enlistment forms are so thick. Basically you are agreeing to give your body, life and soul to the US government. They can check anything they want anytime they want.

Better come clean. Your recruiter wouldn’t care but it needs to be known. They will find out if you lied and you will get kicked out as a fraud if you don’t disclose.

In short, yes, they can. You could get an entry-level discharge for fraudulent enlistment.
Also, if they weren't going to look. You can guarantee they will now. You have CSMs, LTC's, and who knows who else on this site. If one of them doesn't let the recruiting command know, then you can rest assured knowing that I will.
