Lied on the medical questionnaire?
I’m going through the process of joining the Navy(hopefully Aviation Search and Rescue). On Thursday I was "influenced" by my recruiter to put no on everything in my medical history even though I was treated for insomnia/depression. I never actually had depression in my opinion, just wanted help with my sleep troubles. I didn’t take any of the medication prescribed to me except the sleeping pills(once and they did not help). Now I’m reading articles about it and starting to get worried that this might come back to bite me in the butt. He said that they’ll never find out but what if I need security clearance for something? Has someone gone through a similar experience and please offer some detailed information/advice.
If it’s any help at all I’ve taken the ASVAB and gotten a 91 while passing all fields. Got high scores on all sections. I’m 20 y/o with 61 college credits. Going for my physical at MEPS on Tuesday.
Please someone help!

Ya gotta do what you think is right. Sure they may never find out, but then again they may. I know this isn’t what your wanting to hear but it’s your future. Good luck!

March 8th, 2010 at 10:03 pmMy recruiter did the same thing, haha! The military is VERY selective when it comes to things that aren’t that big of a deal. So to be honest, they probably will never find out. You gotta do what’s right, but as long as you aren’t whacked out you should be fine.
Recruiters always tell you to keep mum about certain things, and in this case it’s probably correct. I think if the military knew they would probably not let you join, or you’d have to get a waiver. I’m confident that you’ll be fine, as long as your problems are really over.
