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

First I know you're not seriously dumb enough as to go onto A military website and openly admit to fraudulent enlistment. I mean you realise honor and integrity are the very things that are the backbone to any branch these aren't just words or a rally cry. So I'm gonna cry BS on this its one of 3 things either you want to get caught so you don't have to go, or you're trying to find out if others did this as an investigator of some sort, or 3 you really are this stupid. Here's what ill tell you many people lie at Mel's for various different reasons. Its their body they know the risks, but you don't openly go announce a felony now any advice given is an accomplice. My advice now tell your recruiter do what he'

If everyone followed MEPS criteria right to the letter with no deviation, we'd really have "An Army of ONE" (maybe 2... Lol)

No one can pull your medical records. If it’s something serious you need to disclose it because training may affect it in a way that’s life threatening.

We are talking about your integrity. Always tell the truth. If you are up front with the truth then it is easier for the military to respond in a positive way. They don't want you to get in a situation where you could be blackmailed if you had a security clearance.

It isn't a lie unless you knew you had this heart problem. If you had a pediatrician that told you that you would grow out of it and you believed him, then there isn't a lie. If you were told to monitor this situation as a child or juvinile and you knew you still had this issue when you signed up in the USA, then you may have a problem. I went the other way when I signed up for the Air Force. The question was: Have you ever been airsick? I said yes, since I had barfed in a DC-3 at age 4 while flying in the summer over Wyoming in the afternoon. I was told by the command Flight Surgeon of Air training Command that I did not get airsick on a regular basis and that I was guilty of not knowing how to fill out government forms. I flew for 16 years in the Air Force and am a civilian flight instructor now.

As a Combat Medic, Registered Nurse and Operating Room Nurse of 48 years experience, I can tell you that the MD who said " The doctor who found it said it's not a big deal and they will let me in" is settting you up not only for a massive fall, but threatening your life". No Heart condition can ever be explained as "No Big DeaL If I examined you you would packing your kit within the hour!

Only if they can be found, Dependent all my life, right up until I turned 17 and my Father signed for my Enlistment into the United States Marine Corps. Went to the Clinic to get some updated inoculation records to show that I was current and should not have to take them again in Boot Camp, the TSGT said, "well you might as well have these, you are no longer a Dependent gave me all of my Medical records from TOB to then." Found a lot of stuff I had forgotten about, told my Father, CMSGT, his reply, "that's why they are giving you a physical, if it's there they will find it, deal with it then and besides, didn't I teach you better than to sleep in the mud"!

Made it through MEPPs, solid health as I was a stellar athlete, and when I got to MCRD Parris Island, handed over my shot records, the Corpsman said, "nice try, who forged these for you?" I got all of my inoculations again. Certainly, the only constant at age six, is change and fuddled memories.

you are stupid to put your name on the net like this, but at this point, I would just tell them it was a long time ago, and you didn't know it was relevant.. But STOP TALKING about it in public.

This post is a year and a half old ... wonder what John's outcome was ... that said, it's always best to give good information to the medics. Lots of childhood issues can be waived, including a pediatric heart murmur. I had a murmur as a kid, never heard it again as an adult until I was about 45. Not a big deal.

Honestly, your lie will be uncovered and exposed; it is just a matter of time. Remember your Oath to serve the Country with hard work, persistence and integrity beyond reproach.
