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 am a retired military I am a nurse believe me if you had a heart murmur at your entry they would’ve known. You potential boots should not post anything personal on a site like this lotta military a lot of retired military or on the side. Do not worry your little self young man but remember the next time that you tell somebody in the military do not lie it will come back to bite you in your behind.

Posting with your name seems dumb but no they dont go back. Knew a bunch of guys that lied through maps. Besides the recruiters of course lol.

Come clean, don’t play dumb. If the doctors found it during your physical, then they are doing their job. Just imagine if they took everyone’s word for it. They will let u in if you are physically cleared. You wouldn’t be the first soldier(or recruit) to lie. You won’t be the last. Up to you if you have integrity or not. You can control if you are an honorable soldier, or a less than honorable one. They have discharges for that.

I think its fair to say that this Soldier has a bit of remorse about the situation. It would be the Soldier who lied and did not feel any remorse that I would worry about more. Not saying what he did is right or wrong, everyone has a different perception of values. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has lied about something and no one's integrity is infallabile. Hope all works out for you John.

How many WWI and WWII vets have you heard of that lied about age so they could serve? It’s a long tradition for the military. Several people have lied at MEPS and served successfully without anything happening.

!st of all the first murmur might have as your doctor told you fixed itself, no proof it did not. Its not a matter of playing dumb, get a medical doctor, independent, to give you some answers. You may be worried for nothing.

Despite what others are saying, I doubt they will look at your civilian medical records.
