Hello, my brother in law has just passed medical and the interview.
He told me in confidence that he hid the fact that he had self-injury cutting scars from the med tech and didn’t specify so on the form.
I’m trying to tell him to come clean but he keeps insisting that it’s “no harm done” and “too late now”. How screwed will he be? He’s gonna get found out eventually, I’m sure?

Used be Section 117, now Section 122 of the National Defence Act regarding making fraudulent statements for the purpose of enrolment...there used to be that written in bold print at the bottom of the questionnaire you sign that it's an offence to knowingly withhold information or outright lie about the information provided and that if found guilty, subject to up to and including jail and dismissal. When I did recruit medicals, I also made a not so gentle reminder of that when doing a medical and going over the questionnaire. Inevitably, things like this get caught out...the black mark that goes against your name for a release like that basically will follow them around for life, especially if they want to apply for anything requiring a security clearance or a federal civil service job...may want to gently or not so gently point that out to them. They're going to have a hard time hiding scars like that in the swimming pool, gym, shower, etc.
