I ship out in November. I just passed my PST and have been working out non stop. This is the best shape I have been in my life and do not want anything to effect my future as a sailor. So prior to MEPS i told my recruiter the entire truth, he advised me to "omit" certain things to let my processing at MEPS run a little smoother. What should I do? They are nothing big, just I got my contract as a Aircrew SAR and I think I need a security clearance.

1. When I was 16, got in trouble for throwing eggs and had to pay a fine.

2. In may had gynecomastia surgery, purely cosmetic surgery, nothing to do with functioning of any body part.

Can I tell them at at processing for boot camp? I do not want to get held back, I want to ship out on the day I have been designated. Just say I was told it was nothing to bring up at MEPS?

I have heard due to HIPAA it is very hard for them to access medical records, it is just from what we admit to at MEPS and boot. What shall I do?
 
They may find out about the egg thing. The medical I doubt will be discovered unless someone who gets interviewed tells it to the interviewer.

You are going to have to fill an irritating sum of paper work out for your security clearance.... I mean A LOT. I would put it on those forms if it is on your record. Mention the recruiter told you not to tell them at MEP's if you're that worried about it. There is a chance it isn't on your record because you were a minor.

Honestly though, the recruiter doesn't care if you get your clearance, so if you are worried that they will find out then write it down on the forms you fill out and don't feel bad about throwing him under the bus (nothing will happen to him anyway). Personally I don't think they will care.. no one is perfect.
