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 ?

Former recruiter, station commander, operations NCO here. Any lies you tell at MEPS will bounce back on you.

Also those who are worried or stressing over our criticisms or stating how people are being ugly....I say INTEGRITY. Yes we all make mistakes he lied, have integrity own up and hey I hope it goes alright for you, I'll applaud you admitting you messed up....I laugh at you and say you have proven my part of the safety brief " People are stupid" why would you post that on/in an open forum. That's like two of my NCOs talking about a Soldier negatively on FB for everyone to see (yes they were provide with a 4856 and then UCMJ) this is a behind closed doors discussion

Keep to your story because it is an offence to lie to them. Never metion it again.

They most likely know now after posting this. Best to be honest. You don’t want them to find out later after you already enlisted. You could wind up with a less than honorable discharge for fraudulent enlistment. You don’t want that.

Why would you admit lying on official government enlistment documents. You may have more issues now than medical ones

Based upon the limited information that you provided - it would seem that you have not taken your oath and signed your enlistment paperwork. If this is true, then go see the second doctor and they will give you a green light or say you can't enlisted due to your health condition. During this appointment, you should be honest with the doctor and start your career off clean. If you get a clean bill from the second doctor, then you will know that you were honest and showed the integratory to service your country.
