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

They will now! Lol. Hope ur not going into intelligence or combat positions.

I told tons of lies to get in. Who doesn't? I was in for 10 years. Other than living with a guilty conscious, I did fine. Even after I got out, the VA didn't care that I lied and they still took care of me. Don't sweat it.

Now you're doing a good job of play plain dumb already so just go with it yeah just

Oh my god dude what are you thinking posting shit like this in this forum. Are you dumb as a stump

I had a heart murmur as a child. It’s common, I told them, and they checked it out and I was fine. The military is very strenuous, and not telling them about possible medical issues, can kill you. It’s for your own safety that you disclose everything. Come clean and tell them.

I would have more of an issue serving with a guy who asks questions like this on a public forum, than a guy who may or may not have had a murmur 12 years ago. Terms like, Suck it Up and Shut Your Pie Hole were invented for a reason.

They will check in 3 weeks and if it's an issue they will let you know. Not a single person is going to try and track down medical records from last month, let alone 12 or more years ago at an unknown doctor in an unknown location.

The information between what your cardiologist provides to the medical doctor at the MEPS will determine your fate for enlistment. You technically didn't lie since you stated that you were "told" that you grew out of it.

When you answer yes to a potentially disqualifying question, it will still have to be researched and substantiated in order to be qualified or disqualified by the MEPS. If your medical waiver passes, good luck.

The fact that you lied makes no difference now and besides, you were not a doctor and thus not qualified to make that important a decision. Then too, i have had an irregular heart beat for 81 years; My doctor has always said, "an irregular heart beat is better than no heart beat at all". Plus, a few years ago I had a pacemaker installed, then I became infected and it had to be removed after only 6 weeks. My cardiology doctor apologized for putting it in and then having to take it out. He explained that he has installed them for 28 years and mine was the only one he had to remove.
In fact, to remove it he called on another doctor as he didn't trust himself to get it our without a danger to me.
So, the heart is not a simple organ, you would not be expected to have the knowledge to make such important decisions as to how good or bad your was. The fact that you are still here indicates you have taken care of yourself regardless of what statements were made back then. It the past comes up again, just the the Fifth and change the subject.
I was an A2C for the full four years as the field I was in was declared Frozen. Thus, I had reached the top of my potential and could not advance any farther. So, your little white lie does not compare with the "lie" i had to endure. My advice, to you is that it is not worthy of any more concern. Good luck.

For all saying it is against the army values, look at the leaders of the army today. Officers and senior NCOs charged with assault, pedophilia, rape, drug use, drug trafficking, prostitution, sex rings, DWI, all kinds of things. I have little respect for many of the people I served with. Some were great don't get me wrong. But I seen E4s and 5s put out on a MINOR and I mean MINOR mistake. But E7s and above same thing and swept under the rug. 3 DWIs, loaded weapon in vehicle, assault of an MP, and nothing. They call the higher ups and it gets hidden. Happens a lot in training post. Unless you are a drill sergeant. then you get burned even if it is known to be a,lie. One of the reasons I retired. So the army values seem only to apply to E6 and below. E7 and above are exempt. So do not throw that card out. If it does not go for everyone it don't go at all. I can give more examples.
