>>My recruiter looked me in the eye and said, “Just remember, ‘no’ means Navy Opportunities!”
So in other words you lied.
FAIL.
FAIL.
Oh, get over it.
My father lied about his age to get into the Army during WWII. They discovered it after boot camp and gave him an honorable discharge.
Lying to get into the military? Happens all the time.
A year later he joined the navy with an honorable discharge from the army.
FAIL.
So, let's say sometime in the future some authority person asks you an illegitimate question about something that is none of their business and your future hinged on your answer....
maybe if you have ever owned a firearm or if you have ever used a racial slur....
Would you lie?
