It depends on the circumstances. Maybe. If you don't lie and cover it up... Not everyone with a clearance is squeaky clean. People make mistakes and the govt. knows it...it is the ones who are liars and try to conceal it and the ones who keep making the same mistakes over again that they are...

It depends. You may be allowed to sponsor someone...but usually they have to be a relative. (parents, grandparents or siblings). Some bases have looser policies on who you can sponsor on base and who you can not. If your friend is a male, then I would not advise it...it can cause trouble for...

Go ahead tell whom ever you want...yell if off a roof top even better! Now, if you do all that don't be surprised if some people don't like it...just because you have free speech, doesn't mean that people have to listen. I guess you gave everyone a thumbs down who have a different opinion...oh...

If you don't already know how to swim they will teach you...and you will have a few opportunities to pass the test...then they will send you home if you still don't get it. But it really isn't hard. If you can float on your back you will pass...I know that is how I passed then I dogie paddled...

DNA that is all I can say. If he is the father then he will have to pay child support... Right now I wouldn't worry about his career....worry about establishing paternity and getting what is best for the child.

I think that they can. There are certain circumstances when the military can involuntarily extend an enlistment or commission. One of them is during a time of war. If they determine that the extension is to support the missions in Iraq/Afghanistan even if she is sent somewhere else, then they...

Wow! Sounds like a business major question. Of course the military is a business...but it is not one based on making money, it is based on spending money. It generates no income, produces no product, but it does provide a service...so it is more of a service industry. The proficiency of...

Keep it anyway....put it in a book or binder however you keep your work. Sometimes I jot down random thoughts. They don't always make sense when I read them later, but at the time they flowed. Somewhere in there you know what you were trying to say...or not. Maybe you will be inspired from it...

One case is too high...but realistically it is about the same as it is on a college campus. Sexual assault can vary from inappropriate touch to rape. There are also rape/murders in the military. It is sad and tragic that women are assaulted by the men they is supposed to trust. It is just as...

I have very curly hair that draws up when wet...but I still had to wear it with in Navy regulations. You don't have to go as short as the men do...Do not buzz your hair off. (Some women think that they have to, so I am just making sure.) You should wear a collared shirt the day you get it cut...

I think that you are still deployable. If you are not on medical hold or something else like that then there shouldn't be any reason not to deploy. I was a Navy Corpsman (I know it is a different branch) but there were several members of my last ship taking similar drugs. Mostly they used Paxil...

People in all branches of the military get to go to school on their off time...it takes longer to finish a degree. Some of the schools don't have the classes you need or the programs you want. Sometimes you have to quit mid term and deploy somewhere. You also have to miss some classes to stand...

Are we just thinking up insane stuff to ask? Anyway about the only two people in a command who might and I mean might be able to call the CO on being drunk would be: Possibly the XO...and that depends on the circumstances...but the rest of the command probably wouldn't find out. Maybe second...

If you've already been to MEPS and signed everything, I don't think your recruiter can just discharge you. He maybe able to start processing you for discharge but someone else has to approve it. Have you missed a lot of DEP meetings or something? Have you got into legal trouble or made false...

You need a little more info to process that question. I am not sure what you are talking about...reminds me of a movie though...with Jack Nicholson "Going South" if you haven't seen it you should rent it. It's an old movie about a woman who saves Jack from being convicted and he has to come...
