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

If you have to ask you already know the answer. Come clean, own it and see if it's an issue. Last thing anyone want is for you to die from a situation that physically you shouldn't have been in to begin with. Be honest

The Doctor found that I also had a heart murmur when I joined the Marines, he didn’t seem to be too concerned so therefore I wasn’t too concerned. I went on to be a golden gloves boxer while in the Marines, then got out and became a professional firefighter for the next 27 years. Now at 60 I still teach boxing classes at the YMCA.
I never said another word about my heart murmur again... Semper Fi!
Semper Fi!

Not sure you are what we need in the field, any field.

Not the sharpest tool in the supply room are ya

Oh man you are in for a whirlwind. I had a close family friend enlist into the Coast Guard. He passed all his tests blah blah blah and was in for 3 years. In that 3rd year they went back through his medical record and saw that he was prescribed ADHD medication as a young child. He was prescribed the medication but was NOT diagnosed ADHD. When asked if he had ADHD he said no because he was never given an official diagnosis, wellllll the Guard thought since he was prescribed the medication than he was automatically diagnosed with ADHD and in their eyes he lied to the US government because he told them he did not have ADHD and was stripped of everything he did and was dishonorably discharged

I hope they DO! Did you sign up to serve, or for your own personal gain??? Do you not realize the risk at which you put others' in any kind of field deployment? Or do you just not CARE??? Sorry if that offends your "fragile ego" but I DO care about those whom you would be putting at risk!

Physical conditions change constantly. Sometimes due to environment, sometimes to physiology and sometimes the doctors just *shoulder shrug*. Now, I do not speak as a doctor, but I served with a whole bunch of them as a hospital chaplain and picked up a little here and a little there. So, if you are fit now and willing now, you are highly likely to be sent back to duty with no notes, no endorsements and no warnings. Thank you for the honesty. Chalk it all up to growing up experiences.

Instead of fake news, this sounds like fake posting, surely this kid would not be stupid enough to put his name on a posting that the military probley reviews. This just sounds too far out in left field to be true.

By lying to get in the service shows that your word is not dependable but certainly distrustful. No matter what your reasons are it was wrong. If I were you I’d come clean and accept whatever consequences you have coming to you. You took a minor issue and turned it into a huge mess when you didn’t need to. Obviously you make poor decisions. Not a good trait to have in the military.

Being a Hillybiily I told the recruiter that one leg was about an inch shorter because of running ridges. He said no worries that he would sign me up for the Infantry and the other leg would catch up. It worked. After six years both my legs are the same length. lol
