This recruiter told me the perscription meds I am on will not show on a drug screen is this true? I have process urine screens for inamtes at the prison I used to work at and all we checked for was THC, Opiates, and cocaine. What does the screen the military check for. Also, he stated that MEPs will not check my personal health records is this also true or false. The reason I am asking is I want to be informed when I tell this guy I am not enlisting through him.
Sorry to be a pain

Both of the things your recruiter told you are true. That doesn't mean that you should lie about your medications or medical history though.

Just got the offical word from the one recruiter. I am medically DQ'd while taking the medication I am on. So I guess I will not be joining for sure.

My only response is do not lie if your recruiter said for you to make false claims...
Here is some info. i think might be useful for you...
A recruiter who encourages you to lie has violated his/her own service regulations and can be prosecuted for violation of a regulation under Article 92 of the UCMJ. Additionally, if the recruiter knows you are not qualified for military service, under the regulations, and processes your enlistment anyway, that recruiter can be charged with a violation of Article 84 of the UCMJ, which states:
"Any person subject to this chapter who effects an enlistment or appointment in or a separation from the armed forces of any person who is known to him to be ineligible for that enlistment, appointment, or separation because it is prohibited by law, regulation, or order shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."
The Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM) lists the maximum ********** for this article as: dishonorable discharge, reduction to the lowest enlisted rank, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement at hard labor for 5 years.
However, when you get caught in your lies, if you think that dishonest recruiter (the one who told you to lie) is going to stand up and say, "Yes, I told him to lie, it's all my fault," then you'd better get your head examined.
He/she is going to say, "Nope. He/she didn't tell me a thing about it!" You are the one who is going to suffer the consequences of your choice to commit a felony.
Let me say this again: A recruiter who encourages you to commit a felony offense in order to enlist in the military is not your friend. He/she could care less whether or not you are later discharged, tried by court-martial, given nonjudicial **********, or lose your guaranteed job.
