Thanks for the chance to help. I am an attorney with over 12 years military law experience.

And Entry level separation simply means that you were separated before having served 180 days.

It does not equate to not being in the military.

If you claim to not have served, and the prospective employer searches your military record, they will see the entry level separation and that you have served. So you may want to tell them up front.


Let me know if you have more questions

No. NO way. THere is no law that would require this.

It is just that if you claim that you have not and the prospective employer finds otherwise, they could use that as a basis to terminate you.

But there is no law that requires you to say one way or the other.

There is no statute...that is why I told you that there is not a law that says one way or another.

But whomever told you that you were not in the military was wrong. That is not the truth.

But I get your point...if you did not realize that to be the case, it would not be a case of lying.

But there is no such law. You are trying to prove a negative. The fact there is no law can be shown by a review of title 10 US Code. That is military law. You will find no such law there.
