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

you starting on wrong foot by lying. not good!

Why on earth would you lie? You probably need to contact your recruiter and "fess up" as soon as possible. Let him know you made a mistake and ask him what you need to do to fix it. If you are honest and explain that you did not understand that it was a big deal, then you might still have a chance to continue with your enlistment by taking responsibility for your mistake. Be aware though that your lying earlier reflects very poorly upon your overall character and is not in keeping with the Army Values, so it may not be something they'll be willing to forgive. Good luck.

You should take the time, before entrance, to learned to write in proper English. As far as playing dumb, just show them this post. Then they will know your not playing.

They only know what you tell them, and unless your going for a Crypto Clearance there not going to waist thousands of dollars on everyone’s medical records. Even then, the Govt has by then spent too much money on you and will either rehabilitate your manners and punish you for lying at entry or dishonorably discharge you. Depends on the situation, command and level of the lie.

That's is the wrong way to start off in the military you should have been honest because now that if you do get that is considered as a fraudulent enlistment and down the road they find you will be in alot of trouble.

Falsification of a government document is a punishable offense. So is obstruction of governmental process. Had a recruit in my platoon who got nailed for that. He was an ass and deserved it. Usually a minor heart murmur at a young age goes away. You should have told your recruiter and asked his advice. Which would probably have been to go see your own doctor and check it out before opening your sewer hole and before your physical.

Heart murmurs are very common and the vast majority are medically trivial. I would not say you "lied", and very few people could remember medical info from age 6. Just wait and see what happens when you see the cardio; he/she may do an ultrasound test...

as an 11b who went to college and now have been in medicine for 25 years let me tell you this. A lot of people have murmurs when they are young and eventually grow out of it like childhood asthma.

Let them tell you no. A heart murmur is not necessary a disqualification. Your post is eight months old, may we have an update?

Better off face the truth and remain a civilian and Try hiding a lie when you are in basic and can't maintain standards and fulfill your obligations. Serve Honorably
