Hi everyone, first time posting on here and cannot find any real solid information on this topic anywhere. I was wondering if the medical staff during recruitment can directly view my civilian medical records? I am scheduled to do my CFAT at the end of this summer and am hoping to figure out if they can access my civilian medical records or not. As a teenagers I got involved with taking pills and ended up on methadone for a while to get off it, and personally, I really do not want to bring it up in the recruiting process. It’s somethint I’m still ashamed of to this day, but if they do have access to my medical records, I know I should tell them ahead of time rather than have them find it in my medical records later. It has been my dream to be army infantry for years, and I would hate for this mistake as a youth to ruin my chances. I did also get arrested at 16 for break and enter, and it is on my youth record, not an adult record. I am now 21 and haven’t been involved with any of that stuff for years and years and just want to move forward, but I’m very concerned my medical record will be viewed and my previous opioid dependence will disqualify me.
Thanks a lot
