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 ?

Not likely . No need for it . It was discovered and reported by medical staff at meps . And their evaluation is what they are going to be looking at .

Guys used to lie about age to get into the military. Some were found out others were not. Many of them not only served but served with distinction.
In your case, it sounds like the MEPS exam discovered the potential problem anyway. If it’s really bothering you, make the correction to the record. If MEPS clears you, you’ll be able to enlist. If MEPS doesn’t clear you, you won’t be able to enlist. At this time, I don’t see that your “lie” will matter.

When I went to MEPS, it was an all day physical. Apparently they wanted to make sure I was fit for duty. I assume they still do. If you pass, you pass. If you don’t, you won’t. They do their own physicals because, guess what? People lie. Some used to lie trying to get out of the draft. Some lie to get in. I don’t think anyone would expect you to remember what you were told at 6. Let the doctors decide. It’s their job. Don’t fret. What is meant to be will be.

Well, I don't think posting it here is real great idea. Maybe you should have just kept your mouth shut and let the hips fall where they fall.

Well, now that quite a few people know (wether that was your intention or not) I suggest you go back to your recruiter before MEPS or someone else does and tell them the truth before things get out of hand.

While doing the claims for VA I run across so many fraud enlistments it’s pathetic and then they try to claim VA benefits for them! Your medical records will requested and you have probably already told your physician that’s it was diagnosed prior. So yes those records will come out and you won’t get benefits for it. But right now the VA is considered a 3rd party and we cannot report fraudulent enlistment!

Politicians lie all the time, nothing happens to them. Everyone lies.
If you did not see a diagnosis on paper, of a murmur, when you were younger, I wouldn't worry about it.
Damn, I just noticed this thread is a year old. Did you get in?
