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 ?

Heart murmers are very common in young children. My daughter had a heart murmur when she was just a baby and she grew out of it. The Dr's told me it was very common in children. If you grew out of it, I wouldn't worry.

When I was at MEPS they asked us to come clean (amnesty) after they buzz cut our hair. I knew a guy who said that had they asked that before the haircut, he might have been honest.

The thing you have to consider is the possible medical problems you could develop because of your medical history. People who have no significant medical issues oftentimes develop problems over time. You will be put into situations that will push you physically. And you won’t be able to decide how far you can go in the heat, wind, rain, snow etc. A hot day isn’t so bad when you can choose to wear shorts and a tank top. Try it when your training in the heat fully clothed, wearing gear, and performing tasks that may be physically exhausting. Take care of yourself. Think about it.

They are not psychics at MEPS. Worst they can do is ban you from ever enlisting from that branch. I would say 90% of people go on to serve despite health issues.Despite the speech they give you before shipping you out; you will be fine. Like others said; if this is really something you want then serve.

Something tells me "Medical Waiver" was not the biggest hurdle of your enlistment.

Here’s the deal. Of the MEPS doc found it, it’s in your record now. They will check you to see if you can serve and if yes you’ll ship out if not you’ll get cut. Your not the first won’t be the last.

If you hid a criminal party they yeah you might have some worries
