I was told by 2 of my recruiters that while at MEPs I need to give as little information as possible. I asked my main recruiter about one and ONLY ONE situation I was in at high school. In my younger days i did some stupid stuff. I smoked weed about 3 times. never got caught. Drank alcohol 3 times. About 2 sips each time, and never got drunk. But one of those 3 times, I brought some to school. I sipped a little. And then gave the rest to a friend of mine. He got drunk. The teachers pulled him out of class for being drunk, and they came and got me. i was on camera giving the alcohol to this guy. I was sent to court. They gave 3 months probation. After the 3 months, they cleared my record. Also i was caught running a red light. Only ticket ever recieved. BUT. They caught me on a camera. They tracked the license plate #, and it was under my Moms name. So technically, she got the ticket right? Even thought I paid it. I never told them at MEPs. What should I do?On DEP. I leave 14April 2008.

Just incase . . MEPs asked me if i ever experimented with alcohol or drugs. I said No. They asked me if I had ever been charged with offenses in school. I said No. They asked me if I had ever gotten a ticket for traffic violations, i said No. So basically i lied completely. But I still signed the contract and am now on DEP status till 14 April. Should I go to my recruiters and come clean? Or am I good? Thats basically what I'm trying to get at here. My job is MC. (Mass Communications). But I want to eventually become Master-at-Arms. So, do i need to come clean? Just incase my first question wasn't clear.

Well, you told us all the bad things you did but you did not tell us what MEPS asked and what you said. Hard to say.
Looks like some of your statements were clearly false. As such MEPs can reject your enlistment as fraudulent.

The ticket is nothing to worry about. If the job you will be doing requires a security clearance I would come clean. Just because your court record is clean doesn't mean that you record at school is. Remember that you are a quota to the recruiter. You can get a waiver for your indiscretion. The most import point is you trustworthiness.

You could have told MEPs all of this and it would not have made a differance, I told MEPs that I smoked pot 4 times in High school. I know people who are in a worse position than you and are serving. If underage drinking kept people out of the military, we wouldn't have a military. And traffic violations don't mean ****.

in case you circulate into the service understanding you lied then you dedicated a fraudulent enlistment. as quickly as they discover out you lied, they are able to kick you out with a generic discharge and you get certainly no reward. although in the event that they discover it out when you served 9 years, 11 months and 29 days and you think of you're turning out to be to be a retirement. in case you think of they won't seize you, guess returned. faster or later in time they might could X-ray that arm. they'll see the old fracture. they might have your enlistment actual good there on your scientific checklist. they'll look at it and there will be no longer something some fractured arm. BINGO! They have been given you in a lie. First, you circulate to the recruiter's supervisor. You tell him each and all the failings you lied approximately and tell him the recruiter instructed you to do it. he will take it from there. Or in case you do no longer elect to get the recruiter in hassle, you tell him you replaced your suggestions. Then wait six months and circulate sign in with a diverse recruiter and this time tell the actuality.

Seriously, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. Everybody goes through this when they first enlist and go to MEPS. Recruiters often do lie, but then again so do a lot of people in the DEP program waiting to ship. Trust me, you will be fine, nothing will happen to you. Its not like these things are serious horrible crimes like murder or any felonies. I know you are probably worried, but I guarantee you will be fine. You will meet a lot of people who will have gotten in with much worse on their record. Don't sweat it.
Any other advice about BCT, AIT, etc. Please email me, love to answer anymore questions.
