Hey guys. Don’t know how many of you read my previous post but I ended up telling the truth instead of lying at Meps like my recruiter and his two bosses told me to. (Another of his bosses told me to also lie) When I got to my interview the first thing I did was tell the doctor that I put no for counseling and anxiety diagnosis but I did do both of those and she was luckily very nice about it. When I was checking out they sent me to the army office at MEPS and the guy there asked me if my recruiter knew I had been diagnosed with anxiety by my counselor (no meds or psychiatrist) over a year ago. He said I gained nothing from protecting him if he knew.

I said no because I honestly I would have felt dirty if I had said yes. He has a wife and young daughter and I don’t know how much it would have affected him if I said yes. I also don’t know if his bosses pressured him into telling me to lie since at first he told me to get an all clear letter from my counselor and my medical documents. Also had already given my word to not lie. Besides I could have told them at any time that I was not going to go through with lying but I only decided that I did not want to sign up on a foundation of lies and risk getting caught in the future the night before my physical test. In the end I did the right thing but I should have done it earlier.

Everything else was great. Thought the getting naked parts and blood draw would be terrible but surprisingly when I got there it happened and I felt at peace for lack of words. Basically went through everything with 0 issues or fear. In the end they did not tell me I was perma dq’d. Maybe it was because in the end I came clean before they brought it up if they had it on genesis and everything else was normal and I also got a 93 on the asvab? I was submitted for a waiver and my rc is fine with still working with me and asked me to do what he originally said which is get my docs and clear letter in case the waiver is not simple.

Still might get the waiver denied but honestly right now I could care less. I feel kind of good for not lying about something as big as this. Just wanted to get it off my chest.
