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

Yes, the MEPS will request your medical records. Also, you were six. During my time as a recruiter there was a prospect with a heart murmur that was found at MEPS. He did not know he had a heart murmur because his parents never told him because they did not want him to grow up using it as an excuse. His heart murmur was not significant and he was passed. And by the way, do not lie anymore.

Integrity is a core value! Not Military material! Come clean and get out

While I can understand why you would have done this, you have royalty screwed up. If you are now sworn in, you can be charged with defrauding the government and will still be subject to UCMJ. Which means no slap on the wrist this time. I'm giving you the straight forward, honest, unfiltered truth here. Your biggest mistake? Posting this question on the internet. It is now permanently out there, fo all to see, forever. Also this platform has active duty on it.. and quite possibly a few from JAG. I would suggest, in my humble opinion, you go to you're recruiter and inform him.
I can tell you from personal experience, they do go back and check medical history for major issues, surgeries, and concerns.. they found a potentially disqualifying doctors appointment I had when I was 4 years old, that I knew nothing about. Long story short on that one, that appointment was to test for ADHD and my results where never added to the record (back in the days of, "every kid has ADHD, medicate them all") and my parents never told me because I don't have it, there for it wasn't important. Well, it was important to Uncle Sam.. important enough that I had to go find a last minute doc, pay outta pocket to get tested for ADHD, and get the results submitted so they could determine if i was "worth the risk"

So no, don't lie. But since you did, it's time to live by the core values... most applicability, integrity and honesty. Go do the right thing, consequences be damned. And there will be consequences, even if you get lucky and all they say is "OK, thank you for your time.. go home now"

I wish you the best, and I hope you get good news on your medical condition. My prayers out to you.

I had a heart murmur when I was little. Told them I had surgery to fix it, went to my cardiologist to run tests. Gave all the paperwork to MEPS, im pretty sure there wasn't any waivers for me to get in. Did 3 years as a 11B so yeah, heart murmurs are not a disqualifier in my experience. I'm not sure who told you to lie but that's a no go

Are you already in the service or in a delayed entry program? You should talk to your recruiter and be honest if you are in a DEP. You may also have the opportunity in boot camp to disclose this, but that is the worse case scenario. The service needs good people, and we are in your side- but you want to do this the right way.

Yes they may check! I am allergic to bees I marked yes on my forms and after getting stung and needing an eppi shot and benidril? They did pull my enlistment forms , my recruiter had changed it to no, I would have been in big trouble according to the flight line surgeon that treated me. If it was not there on your entrance physical you probably out grew it and that would be hard to prove. But posting such questions on a public site may not be smart. But at this point play dumb they may not find anything that will be a problem.

You thought it was not going to be an issue and not show up . But it still was and is an issue and you lied about it . I guess you were thinking being truthful would make it an issue or have them looking closer . Either way you made it a question of ethics and personal integrity as well as the condition . But they are giving you a chance by sending you to a specialist even after lying so it's clear they are still considering you . But i can assure you the one thing they don't want is for your condition to cause you to drop dead in training . And understand if the specialist determines it's an issue he/she is trying to save your life from you putting it at unnecessary risk .

So, MEPS found your murmur. If you can't join bc of it, the lie is a moot point. There's also a difference between honesty and falling on your sword.

As a former LNO for IET I would recommend for you to disclose your medical condition at the moment of truth (last chance to disclose any medical condition while inprocessing). If the military finds out you failed to disclose the information after you inprocess and you suffer a medical incident then your company commander has the option to discharge you under fraudulent chapter and that could have LIFELONG consequences when it comes to employment, financial aid etc.

Not Army, but a retired Air Force Medical Service Officer (Nurse Corps). Speak with those involved with your recruitment and be honest. If your civilian doctor said your childhood heart murmur was not of concern,speak with your recruiter, there may be a medical waver available. Ask your civilian doctor for a letter stating his findings. If the MEPS physician clears you, then you should be good to go. We did look at results of physical exams, but if the MEPS physician cleared a recruit, we usually accepted the MEPS physician's findings.
