Hello i am 18 years old and im trying to join the navy as a hospital corpsman more than anything. before deciding to go with the navy i was working with an army recruiter who had me lie about two things at meps (by the way i passed the physical at meps). the two things he told me to lie about were my use of my prescription of accutane which i have been off of for 2 years(individuals are eligible to join after stopping treatment a year before enlistment) and he told me to lie about my prescription drug abuse with oxycottin about 6 months ago. the problem is that when i was experimenting with the oxycottin for about a month i became depressed and told my mother about the situation. she got worried and took me to ecmc(local hospital) for “detox” which was not needed. at ecmc i talked with a few doctors there and told them about my drug abuse and depression. they said that i was stable and suggested i might talk to a psychologist. i have experimented with drugs but by no means am i a “druggie” and have been clean ever since this incident and no longer am i depressed. the problem is when my mother was making phone calls when this incident occured she called my doctor and he happened to write down on a piece of paper that i was treated at ecmc for oxycottin on that date. MY QUESTION IS DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO REMOVE THAT PIECE OF PAPER FROM MY CIVILIAN MEDICAL FOLDER BEFORE I JOIN? the navy recruiter is not aware of any of this. it is the only thing that is holding me back from my career. i am worried that if they find out about this incident once i am enlisted i will be discharged which is completely understandable. it was a rough patch in my life and its over. thank you for your time and your answers. i really appreciate it.
