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

You didn't lie, because your doctor said it would not be a problem. That was a medical opinion. Now if the cardiologist finds a problem, you'll be medically discharged. MEPS didn't find this and the cardiologist will more than like agree with your doctor. Shouldn't be a problem.

Many years ago - now - I went into MEPS and started taking the tests. When it came to the hearing test I took it 7 times before they sent me downstairs to a waiting cab to see an ENT Doctor. It is what I expected. When the Doc walked into the exam room he asked what was wrong and I told him about my issue with ear infections due to an ear valve that did not work. I knew all the terminology since I had had this issue my whole life. He looked at me and asked "You really want to join the Army?" I answered Yes. Then he asked, "this is supposed to be correctable through meds?" I answered yes but mine was hereditary. He signed the paperwork - correctable through meds. and sent me back. I did 9 yrs with the Army and Guard and the whole time my hearing was great (was a lot healthier in the Army).

If they go back and look into your previous medical records and see it, they could nail you on falsifying a government document. It best to be honest and see what happens. It was stupid on your part.

I’ll get buns

So much to this... Tell them exactly what you said here. A doctor told you at 6 you’d grow out of it. You never had another issue with it (this part better be true, I don’t know you or your history) and assumed you outgrew it. You’re telling the truth (to keep with comments of values) AND playing dumb (which puts you ahead of the game as it is a typical private thing to do).

Healthy hearts can have murmurs from working out. Go to the cardiologist in three weeks, and welcome to military. Oh, and pray to whatever god you may think exists that no one on this site gets you in their chain of command, you’ll be fucked.

Your recruiter can't advise you on this.
However only if you tell meps will they know.
There a page on your enlistment package that clearly ask " have you ever had any of the following"
Now if you answer yes to any of these you may be disqualified.
Now unless you want to become disqualified ???
Screened , sold, schooled and scheduled.
Good luck with your future.

To everyone asking this kid if he is aware that this site is public, yall are whats wrong with the army and its leadership. Instead of answering his question and helping him understand why it wouldn't be a good idea to join the army with a heart murmur, yall decide to comment something that this kid obviously knew already and avoided answering his question. Jesus Christ how hard is it to give a potential soldier a proper counseling session. Now to answer your question, yes they will likely look through your medical records to see if there is anything else they need to take into consideration before giving you the green light. It wasn't smart to lie at meps because their job is to make sure you won't die from any training you'd be expected to complete. That being said most people i know have lied at meps but not about medical stuff. Normally they just lied about doing drugs and stuff in the past. Your doctor has the option to give you a medical waiver if he truly believes that it isn't that big of a deal but meps needs to be sure that you won't get hurt if they send you to BCT. you will run alot. Nearly everyday along with doing stuff like push-ups and situps if you're already in good shape and workout regularly then I doubt they'd have any reason to refuse you if your doctor gives you the green light. Best of luck man and get used to people ignoring your question and concerns to tell you that what you did was stupid and that you shouldn't have done that. Nearly every leader I knew back when I was in the military did that. There are a few good ones that will take care of you and I hope that is the type of leadership you get and will become one day

Not a good way to start a relationship!

you're an idiot...

1. It's a federal crime that is punishable to lie on your enlistment forms
2. You posted on a public domain that you lied on your enlistment forms
3. Refer back to one, no matter what recruiters tell you, do not lie while at MEPS.

I literally fought tooth and nail to enlist and they thought I was lying about being lightning struck and was ready to give me the boot until I laid the papers on their desk and asked if there was anything else. This was on top of lint getting into my test cup and the so-called doctor said it was blood. Boy, after testing what seemed like forever, the doctor was called up and was called out for their slip up that they failed to recognize.

Anyways, the moral of all of this is that you never lie on your enlistment forms and just be straight up when enlisting at least if you fail to get in because of a health condition beyond your control then at least you can honestly say that you love your country and will do what is needed to defend her but lie about it and then it will blow up later with the opportunity to visit Ft. Leavenworth.
