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 ?

You have to own up to this..get every bit of Drs notes (current) to hand to the Recruiters and MEPS. Ensure you keep a copy for yourself..I was told, at Meps, I had a heart murmur but it wasnt bad enough to DQ me and I had a wonderful career..wishing you the best but warn you, as others have..quit asking this question on the web!!!

It probably would have been easier to play dumb before you posted this on a public site. The right thing to do would have been to go to the cardiologist BEFORE you went to MEPS. I two similar things happen. First I was diagnosed with asthma when I was in high school, and used an inhaler for a little while. This would have disqualified me, despite the fact that I hadn't used an inhaler in over a decade. I went back to the doctor and they tested me for asthma instead of just diagnosing based on symptoms. The test showed that I did not have asthma, problem was solved. When I was getting going through the MEB process on my way out of the Army, they found that I have an autoimmune disease that results in low platelets, meaning I have a mild to major depending on the day clotting disorder. This is a big no go. The Army diagnosed the issue based on bloodwork going all the way back to MEPS and through my time in the Army. I didn't get in any trouble, because it had never been diagnosed, I had no idea that I had it, nor did I have symptoms, other than a low platelet count in all of my bloodwork, but it was never low enough for a doctor to really look for a cause. However, the Army used my MEPS paperwork to show that I had the condition when I went through MEPS and entered the Army, so the Army and the VA labeled it as a pre-existing condition, and they won't cover it through insurance. So the short answer is, yes, they can go back to MEPS medical records.

More than likely they will put you in jail for lying on official paperwork and now stating that on a public web site. As far as getting in the military, You may not get in for being such a Gomer.

You walked into MEPS scared. And believed that what they told you about growing out of it could have been true. You had no reason to believe it wasn't true. So when they asked you questions , you chose 1 of 2 answers, either they were right and you had outgrown it or whether they were wrong and you had not outgrown it. You had no way of knowing. You left it up to them. Quit being scared. If they let you in, it's not your fault. BTW they can repair that, its like a LTC coming in as a Lieutenant with a deficient brain!

Navy and Air force don't push your body to the limit like the Marines and Army does,so you'll have no problem in those branches.Now if you run 2 miles and your chest not letting you make it...You might wanna give up while you ahead like people on this forum sort of telling you to do,But i don't go shooting nobodys dreams down.So if the doctor says you good, GO with the doctors opinion!Always go out with a BANG whether if you live or die.Make your life count!

Yeah dude, I was a Navy recruiter. It’s best to tell them now than after you’ve gotten in or halfway through boot camp.
Also, if you’re worried about being caught you’ve kind of missed the point of joining. I would recommend some serious sole searching and find out if you’re going to be able to honor the core values.

There is a little thing called integrity. It goes a long way with people.
If you still have the murmur then i am afraid you may not get in. My younger brother who has since passed away at age 42 also had a heart murmur as a child. When he wanted to join the Marines he passed all the tests but at the end of the day his i integrity shown through and he revealed it to his recruiter and that stopped him from joining. When asked why he brought it up he said he couldnt live with himself if he got a fellow Marine killed because he was unable to perfom his duty at his absolute best.
Take note youngin. Dig deep and ask yourself that question. Good luck.
