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 ?

They could possibly look at your records a see it in there. Doesn't matter if you lied the Heart murmur could be a disqualifer and bab tou from service. If they determine you with held information that too is a disqualifer and your screwed. If you would've told the truth a waiver could've been requested and the surgeon would approve or disapprove.

Well, YOU stated at the beginning of YOUR post that YOU LIED. I highly recommend that you evaluate yourself with a doctor and let him decide if you are suited for the military rigors. Also, remember that we live by a set of values named The Army Values....

Is there a possibility that John Kellen did not author this post?
In other words was he hacked?

They will take away your birthday. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go to confession as soon as possible. Do this even if you are not catholic. Tell your mommy and daddy that you have been really really bad.

I don't know if it's any different in the Army, but I know several who have been pulled out of basic training for issues that were discovered in their medical record while they were in training. One got booted for a back injury he had and lied about it during the entrance exams. Another had an eye condition that they found on their record and pulled them out after several weeks of training. I'd say talk to your recruiter and be honest. Integrity can go a long way.

Oh wow, I didn't realize this is 8 months old. Oh well, hope you did the right thing though!

I lied about Athsma, flat feet/ arch supports, broken bones, drug use. I was 27 years old. I would lie about it all over again. Keep your mouth shut and do great things.
