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

No they won’t. They say they will but they don’t. If you had made it through MEPS and shipped to training and THEN developed issues, then they would request prior medical records to help facilitate your discharge.
I recruited for five years then worked at Ft Sam and Ft Leonard Wood with trainees that were being chartered out and discharged from service.
If the cardiologist clears you, then you’re fine.

Oh, and one more thing. This is not directed to you, Mr. Kellen, but to the many people on here trying to say that everyone lies. Some of us do NOT lie. Period. I didn't lie before I joined the military, nor have I lied in my 22.5-year career. I actually already had "Army Values" before the Army got around to listing them. In fact, I have had (and still have) an awful habit of getting myself in trouble quite a bit because I always tell the truth; if I mess up, I own it, take responsibility for my actions, and do my best to make it right, and I would certainly never try to blame anyone else for my mistakes. People are going to believe what they want to believe based upon their own lives, regardless of anything I say here. My thinking is that those who jump out to accuse others of lying without any basis for their claims are probably projecting their own inclinations upon others. Character is revealed by what you do when no one else is around. I am not going to debate the issue with anyone, but I will say that I am offended by those who would seek to malign my character without knowing anything about me, and if you are one of the accusers, then you should be ashamed of yourself for stooping so low as to make such a broad, unsubstantiated claim.

As I told the young man earlier, he needs to tell the truth and hope that the situation can be salvaged. Whatever the outcome, he will have a life lesson.

I hope all the sensitive Cindys are happy I didnt use any of mycarefully crafted language enhancement techniques.

Just a fantastic way to start your new career in the government. Next thing you know you'll be a reporter for CNN. Who knows? If you keep it up msybe you'll make it as a CNN anchor.

You need to tell the truth. They questioned me on a seizure that I had at 4 years old. I was told little about it, but told them everything I knew, even the fact that they initially thought it was a brain tumor! The asked me if I'd had another seizure since and I hadn't. I served for 12 years. Tell the truth and keep telling the truth until they say it no longer matters.

Look if you are looking for absolution got to church!
That questions open too many doors there, one being kicked out of the Army for lieying two bad conduct discharge, and posible felony record in your background.
The answer to your initial record is they won't find it if you dont tell about your past.

Dear dumbass how you just told the truth you can went through the medical process and probably been able to join. You may still be afforded the opportunity but you could be permanently disqualified or disqualified for one year. It is better that they caught it now then you would join the service and kept it a big secret and then all of a sudden you're having problems out on the battlefield then you'd become more than one person's problem.

That you failed to mention this--intentionally--is not a good thing, but is understandable (I'm assuming you're pretty young). It's a good sign your conscience is bothering you (if that is indeed the case). Just tell the cardiologist you didn't mention it because, as you've indicated, your childhood doctor said it was a temporary condition. Not a big deal.

Definitely tell your recruiter! You are lucky that you have not shipped out for training yet. Life won't be as easy for you once you are in! Besides, look at it this way, one, it's your life and well being. Two, once you are a soldier, other soldiers lives may be at risk because of how your body may respond to the stresses of potential combat. It's best to be serious and honest about your health record when joining any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.

I doubt they would bother looking. My ex-husband enlisted about 18 years ago so he is very close to retiring. My mother had a family friend who was married to an officer who worked at the MEPS he went to. He is colorblind but the family friend made those results disappear. He was also able to get through without them finding out he has 13 pins in his legs from total fractures as a teen. So if he can get away with it I would say anyone can to a certain degree. A lot of times, like with my ex, it is all about who you know.
