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

There was a sailor on USS Boston who also lies about a prior heart condition. He DIED a heart attack on board, even though the ship immediately surfaced, then contacted the carrier we were with for an evacuation. I had yet to report to the ship but had to be the officer in charge of the non-deployed ships crew at his funeral and burial.

"Honesty is always the best policy" The military is built on core values. Don't start a career built on dishonesty. The fact that you are asking shows your character. Go back and talk to your Recruiter. Be honest. Best of luck!

Welcome to the club of growing up. My son was told to lie about his asthma by a recruiter ... he didn't, good for him. Now for you, going forward make it a habit to tell the truth. If the doctor gives you a go, then congrats, if there are caveats, stay with them. If you get told you're a no go, well thems the breaks. Whatever, the main thing for you to take away from this is integrity, always hold to it.

How can they possibly know that you lied? Who at the age of 6 remembers having a heart murmur? Honestly you should have just been forward with the information. If the murmur isn't that debilitating they would grant you an entry waiver. I know I got one to enter.

There are a lot of things that you should do for yourself, not anyone or anything else; exercise and proper nutrition to name a few. Military service is about selfless-service. Your brothers and sisters in arms are depending on you to perform your job functions, often requiring things outside of those. I recommend pursuing the waiver. If serving your country in uniform is your plan A, have plans B, C, and D. Move to plan B if your condition still exists and precludes you from serving. I hope both your secondary and tertiary plans include learning a trade and higher education. Give it your honest best and live free of regret and repercussion.

A year ago ....wonder if this dude made it...

Of course especially if they know about it. Even if you did make it in and something go wrong with your heart that causes you unfit get ready for the backlash

I'm a little, ok a lot, late to this party, but I want to you understand this. When you join the military, all those documents you signed with your recruiter, even before you sign your contract, are different information release forms (from credit to medical). If they do pull your old medical records, and find it, you can play dumb BUT just like LTC Jason Mackay stated this is a public forum, and it is now on the internets forever. If you sign your contract, and they find out after the fact, you can be charged with fraudulent enlistment. DO NOT be like people who have issues and don't tell anyone, they will come out at some point in your career. You need to be as honest as possible, and if that makes you ineligible, just know it is best for you.

yes!!!

Why would you post this on a public site? You are either stupid or trying to either trapped someone or just want someone attention.
