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

If I'm not mistaken MEPS is the first enlistment and it would have only been applicable to your first enlistment. There is a reason certain things ask if something has occurred in your current enlistment.. Your fraudulent enlistment would've been the 1st only. That is just a best guess though.

IDK. Ask USMEPCOM

Wow, I realize I haven’t participated on this forum for quite some time but it seems things have drastically changed. As for the original poster, people lie all the time at MEPS. Contrary to popular belief, it happens all the time. You were told something well over a decade ago and haven’t had issues since. Was it wrong to omit the truth, absolutely! Does everyone always tell the truth, absolutely not! Going forward, I would submit to you that honesty with the medical professionals is a must. They should know what’s going on with you for your own sake. This is your life and something small like a HM may end up becoming more serious later. As for everyone, keep your medical ailments to yourself. There’s this thing called HIPAA you should read up on. No one needs to know anything about your medical history other than your physician. Best of luck to you and your career!

Yeaaa, you’re doomed for even posting this, but you never know, it could end well. Good luck soldier!!

You've already lifted your skirt WAY over your head, so keeping your mouth shut is off the list of options. Your "peril" is that any health issue you have. that can be traced to your pre-service condition, will not be considered "service connected" ... you should see what impact it might have on your SGLI payout, too. The truth will set you free, but I imagine many of us have things hidden in our past that--if known--would paint some unwanted picture instead of a portrait of who we really are as a person and contributor.

The cardiologist will have the final say. They found it at MEPS, so it doesn't really matter what you told them initially. They will make a determination on your fitness based on the cardiologist report. If you're good, you're in. If not, well, thanks for trying. You really should have been honest about it up front, but that's probably not going to disqualify you. If you knew what some other recruits lie about, you'd know that "forgetting" a little medical history is small change. The guy in the bunk across from me in Basic had been chaptered out of the Army very early in his career. He reenlisted under another name, and had almost made it to AIT before getting caught. Guy in another platoon was picked up by the FBI for bank robbery. Technically, he didn't lie because he didn't have a conviction yet, but...
Good luck with the cardiologist, and be forthright with your history from now on!

I have a similar story. I told my recruiter that I never used marijuana, but that was a lie. At the time I was a young man desperately trying to get away from negative influences in my home town. People who told me I would never amount to anything.
I started reading the Bible around that time, and
something deep inside me compelled tell the truth.
When I arrived at the MEPS in Portland I immediately told the doctor that. I had smoked weed before.
At first he seemed angry, and I thought I would never be a soldier. But then his faced changed and he told me I was a very brave young man and gave me a waiver.
If you look at my Army medical record it states that I used marijuana over 100 times.

I served 9 years will serving, but they tested me like no other Human being in the world, but I never regretted telling the truth.
You need to be able to tell the truth even when it might hurt if you want to be a real man.

You can be separated for fraudulent enlistment (lie). This is if your recruiter wants to do the work. If they keep you, a medical evaluation will be done on you to determined if you’re fit for duty or not. I just has a Soldier go through this. So it can go both ways.

i had a heart murmur all of my life. i don't know if they changed the rules, but in the 70's, it didn't keep me out

First let the medical people tell you what they find. If nothing no worries. If something tell everything
