Hello guys, I have an important question. I am applying for the marines for an aviation slot and I have a question about MEPS. Can't, or do, they look back at all your medical history? Can't they just somehow get all of your medical records by request. Lets say I don't put down my thumb surgery when I was 15 years old (because I do not want to go through the hassle of waivers). Will they ever go back into my medical history and find out that I did not put this on my application. I am concerned that I will pass the initial flight physical and then when I get my second physical they will go back in my records and find out. Thanks this is very helpful

Integrity aside, to answer your actual question, while they have the right and ability to go through your medical past...
they don't...
but like previous posters have said, why give them a chance to nail your balls to a tree over something stupid like "thumb surgery" or "chronic masturbation therapy"...

Did you go to rehab?

No, I ended up on that damned "Intervention" show...thought they were doing a documentary and then, bam, there was my whole family...next thing I know I was tranquilized on a plane to Florida...
Didn't do me much good...
Pickle told me it was easily cured with his palm some super glue and 80 grit sandpaper.
Wanting to avoid hassle of waivers is not a good reason to compromise your integrity....and neglecting to mention a medical procedure is tantamount to lying.
Should "they" ever find out- You can be hit with the Fraudulent Enlistment (as mentioned before). Worse- should your past ever came back to haunt you (like you thumb fell off or had some other injury while flying) and people or equipment gets damaged...You'll be in hotter hot water.
Good luck deciding what the right path for you is.
PS- To put some more perspective on it...I was born with a cleft lip and palate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleft_palate ) and I got into the service with little to no problems.

Sounds like a sticky situation ...
