My recruiter told me not to disclose my juve record %26amp; and he worked really hard to get me in. I don't want to get him in trouble, but I don't want to get into trouble either. I'll about to ship to basic in a couple of weeks. Should I wait until I get to basic to say something?How can I tell someone higher in the Navy chain of command about the bad advice my recruiter gave me ?
Do NOT wait until basic. They have the RQAT teams there that'll run you through the ';moment of truth'; and they usually find that 90% of the recruits have *something* they want to confess about their enlistment, though most of those confessions are in fact nothing at all. Still, if anything *does* come up, it's a major hit on the recruiter, and it doesn't look good on you, either.
Go to your recruiter, and insist that you make a statement detailing your juvvie record. Tell him you'll be doing it anyway, so he may as well help you get it done correctly. So long as he and you work together, starting RIGHT NOW, there'll be no major come-back on anyone. Yeah, he'll probably get chewed by his RinC and ZoneSup, but that's no big deal. If an RQAT report comes back, that IS a big deal.
Go to your recuruiter, and insist that he do it right. It's the best, and honorable, course forward.
*Edit*
Juvvie record ';expungement'; DOES NOT erase the record! It's still in the system, and the National Agencies Check finds those with great regularity.
Do it right!How can I tell someone higher in the Navy chain of command about the bad advice my recruiter gave me ?
Depending how far back your record is I'd keep my mouth shut. A lot service have juve records. Unless you killed some one don't tell!
If you already lied, why would you want to change your mind now... to get out?
Have you already gone through the induction process,, If
so there isn't much you can do at this point,, Not knowing
extent of the record,, If you have not gone through induction
you can close that door right now,,, and petition to have
your intent to join resended. This really has a dark resonance
to it,, your juvinile record had to have some very harsh
connotations to be this apprehensive,, Contact NCIS at the
nearest Naval Facility and discuss this with the AIC of that
unit,
you`ll be kicking in your own a** if you report some-thing AND don`t forget that your Recruiter ';worked really hard'; to get you there..!
obviously HE can see some-thing Positive in you , don`t mess His life up as well as your own......think out-side the Box and get ready to prove your-self to you and the rest of the World.
and never forget.....';if it`s not written down , it NEVER happened';.
if you do a report/complaint/Query/letter (it`s obviously GOT to be on paper) , some-one will investigate the Claim.....do you want that???????
as i said before , get off your a** , and learn Life.
what can it do ,,,, kill you?
Advice is don't ask, don't tell. The navy did a background check prior and they were still able to get you in, I would not sweat it.
dont say anything
sounds like you don't want to go... if that is the case disclose it asap.
Don't bother, they don't give a damn. What are they meant to do with the information - rush off and fill in a form. Yikes! let's go for the quiet life and say nothing.
Of course, if you want to get out that's different.
well, if I would be you I would be quiet and when asked about something specific give them true answers. If asked why you did not disclose said info, tell them the truth. Sorry dude but military is nothing you want to be dishonest about. Most likely you are going to get in trouble the same either way, or if you are honest if asked not at all, but I would be quiet until someone asks. It also depends on what you have in your juvenile record. If it is something really bad then you might just want to tell them now, but be prepared to be dropped from the military and you most likely will never go to basic training. You also might want to accept the fat that you wont get very far in your future in the military with such record....
Juvenile records usually don't matter, they are expunged at age 18. If you want to go ahead, it is probably a non-issue. But then again, you might not be in the Navy very long.
