Forgot two minor surgeries at MEPs

[palley]

Will I get in trouble later on for forgetting to report having had two minor surgeries at MEPs/MEPs medical paperwork?

ROTC, MS2 SMP contracted for reference. I had my wisdom teeth extracted and a minor cosmetic surgery on my gum a few years ago. I forgot to mention these when I went through MEPs and on the medical paperwork. My MEPs entry paperwork says I marked no surgeries done. I checked my records from when I actually went to MEPs and it seems a doc may have indicated I admitted to having surgery before, but it’s hard to tell. Will this get me in trouble when/if I have to get a commissioning physical later on?

I remember getting x-rays at annual SRP months later but don’t remember them asking about surgeries.

Now that you mention it, my ROTC cadet from a few years back may have forgotten to list gum grafting by an oral surgeon too. Never had a subsequent problem so it's far back in the rear view mirror. MEPS qualifications aren't mentioned in this forum as often as the DoDMERB 'channel' but if you were my child I would tell you... don't sweat it. If you have to fill out a similar form in the future with similar questions, just include it, though both 'surgeries' you describe would likely be part of a dental questionnaire.

You may want to put this on the DoDMERB portion of this forum.

Under certain circumstances, a MEPS physical can be used as a DoDMERB physical exam that is required to contract. He might have insights on your exam IF your rotc program submitted your MEPS exam to DoDMERB for review.
