I've had an MRI in the past and one of the questions on the MEPS form is have you ever had an MRI. My recruiters is telling me to put "NO" even though I have. He said that putting "YES" will automatically disqualify me for 18X or any "good" job in the military. On top of that he says the military will never know anyway. This doesn't seem technically or morally right IMHO.

The MRI's were done on my hamstring and knee. I got the one on my hamstring because I slightly pulled it. The knee I got done because I just wanted to make sure I didn't do anything to it when I hurt the hamstring. Someone recommended I do it. It only cost me $20 to get it done so why not. Will this disqualify me?!?!?!?

I'd really appreciate your insight into this. I already know I'm going to put "YES." I just want to know if it's going to be a waste of my time or what I can do to help me get in.
