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 ?

I agree with previous comments. I will tell you how this will go. First MEPS does not have access to your medical records, so it really doesn't matter what they say about your murmer because they found it during your physical. Secondly it does not matter what the civilian doctor says on your consult, the MEPS doctor is going to disqualify you. Lastly your recruiter will submit a medical waiver to the branch you are applying for and at that time you will have to submit all previous medical records on this condition. I will close with this, they already know you lied which almost every person who goes through MEPS does. What MEPS commander will do at this point is investigate your recruiter to see if he or she advised you to lie.

I think he could have used better discretion and disclosure rather than discuss his personal health issues on a public forum by using more research and consultation and understanding the HIPPAA confidentiality and its rules. I know that there some military recruits, who had personal issues or health issues that MEPS did not pick up and it came up later and I do believe that MEPS makes it clearly known about the repercussions and consequence's about hiding any of your medical and personal history that could immediately dismiss the military recruit regardless of where they are at in the training process. I believe most non threatening medical and personal issues are waivered as per MEPS guidelines for the military recruit. We all know that MEPS is just the first of many screening process for military inductees and recruits and it is not a perfect system in disqualifying those who get caught later with those same medical or personal issues that could effect that military recruits training and their units gains and losses roster later on.

You do understand this a public website and assuming you used your real name it won't be hard for the military to figure out who you are and deal with the situation, talk to your recruiter about this asap, and it be wise to delete this post
