Need urgent advise
Posted on
So, I went to meps and swore in. Medical records and financial, criminal records came back clean. I got a job that requires the highest clearance level in the navy. I ship out in a couple months to bootcamp.
The problem is that I didn't tell the truth or rather was not fully aware of my past medical records.
Here's a little background: when I was somewhere between 9-12 I was caught by my mother trying to cut myself. By that night I was at a hospital for an entire week for rehabilitation?and then went home. I've asked my mother if I was ever given any medication and she told me I was given a prescription but never actually took them which is why I wasn't aware of them. By the way I'm not depressed, haven't felt depressed or felt the need to self harm since the first time I did it which was more than a decade ago.
Well now I'm home, freaking out. The military was my go to place for my entire future, I don't know whether I should go to the recruiting station tomorrow and tell my recruiter about this? Should I just keep quiet about it? It keeps bothering me and I know I was stupid for not telling the truth, I'm aware I can be thrown out and maybe even fined.
I realize what i did was stupid. I don't want to lose this rate, and I don't want to lose my shipping date either... I don't know what to do. I'd appreciate any advice... should I just tell my recruiter as soon as possible... or have it bug me for the rest of my military career and maybe have it come back up someday in the future?
