heres my question if anyone knows i thank you all in advance... im trying to join the navy now and going through the long recruiting process... my question is what is it that the navy needs to know when they told me they want to know why my charge was dismissed... my charge got dismissed because of lack of evidence and falsified information from the lying girl... the navy wants more information based on this and i gave them what i possibly could get from the prosecutor and the court system... if anyone knows the answer to this please tell me and let me know

I'm in the Navy and while that does not make me an expert, I've seen people in very similar situations join the Navy without a problem. If the charges were dropped you probably do not have anything to worry about. Just be honest when you are asked. If you lie and they found out it is worse.

The Navy is pretty strict with respect to the conduct of the sexes. Way more so since Tailhook, and especially since they now have women serving with men.
That said, it will depend on upon those who evaluate your application. If the charges were not proved, and were dismissed for lack of evidence and falsified information by the complainant. You seem to have been open and up-front about it--even to providing what information you could get from the prosecutor. I'm not JAG, but it seems ok to me. As far as the courts are concerned, you're clean. But the sexual assault stigma may not go away easily. If I may, I'd suggest that for that reason alone, if you do get in, you need to be very careful from here on out.

Stop, stop, stop.
If your charge was dismissed then you need to find a lawyer and pursue an expungment (I may have spelled it wrong).
An expungment is the erasure of all records, including arrest (fingerprints, jail records...everything!) pertaining to your case. For instance, in Texas when a person has their charges dismissed (Felony or otherwise) it is fairly simple to have the arrest, jail records, fingerprint cards, trial motions...everything destroyed. The physical destruction of all original paper records and electronic copies within 30 days of granting the petition.
You would have a clean slate. Nothing to hide and nothing to find. Ever. No records, no arrest record no nothing.
Call a lawyer near you and ask what the details are in your state.

Probably because the vast majority do not know about it and alot of movies and tv shows make it out like it's a rare thing. Another thing people forget about is that the armed forces is not like the civilian world ( 2 women for 1 man). The solutions are expensive but sound simple- just separate them completely; have separate post. Not that many woman in the forces and it would mean drastic military spending on just one group. When you get alot of men together, tell them to be tough and then exercise the hell out them; they tend to have all those manly hormones and aggressions regardless of what job they have in the armed forces.

Look, it's your recruiter's job to find out exactly what's required from you. It's not your job to guess what will satisfy them.
If your recruiter isn't doing his job ask to speak with the recruiting station's Petty Officer in Charge about it.

One don't bother with trying to get an expungement. as far as the military is concerned.. it still happened, even if your record is wiped clean. so don't waste the money.
since the charge was dismissed, they just want every scrap of paperwork involved so they can make a waiver determination. being dismissed doesn't necessarily mean you were innocent, so they want to make their own determination.

They just need as much info as they can get...they don't want to have to worry about you joining and then having troubles with you and females in the future. They are just covering themselves in case something were to happen that's all.
