YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH! OTHERWISE IF YOU DO NOT AND, IT WILL SOONER OR LATER SHOW UP, THEN MOST LIKELY THEY WILL DISCHARGE YOU FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION ON YOUR EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION; AND IN RETURN, THIS WILL ALSO FOLLOW YOU TO YOUR NEXT POSSIBLE JOB!

What happened while you were at Ft. Knox?

Did you have a Chapter 10? Did you get an OTH?

Were you court martialed?

for all the people saying Active Duty and PP soldiers don't get OTH'd google the name Daryl Anderson he's the guy who went AWOL to Canada for almost 2 years and last week turned himself in Sill and he was gone in 3 days with an OTH, his lawyer struck the deal the papers say but regardless it happened.
