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 ?

You know you just took an oversight that nobody would have cared about and in a single post turned it into a felony right????

Just because you were "told you had a heart murmer" as a kid doesn't necessarily mean you did. A lot of recruits show up to MEPS saying "my mom said I had _______ when I was a kid" and get disqualified when they never actually had anything wrong. They'll never find out BUT the Army does have values you need to follow.

If everyone told the truth at MEPs, there wouldn’t be anyone in the military.

Actually the big issue here is not what They will do, but what are You going to do. The CSM made a good point. Come clean, admit your mistake, and own up to it. Growth only comes through proper action, even when said action may be painful. Many of Us have had indiscretions in our life. The measure of person is decided by either making excuses or taking responsibility. I have heard it stated as doing the next right thing. Semper Fi
