thanks :thumbsup:
yea thats about what i've been thinking...
i'm not much of a liar though...
the last thing i want to do is have to compound one lie with more lies...
it's tough... i worked as a manager for years and i don't know if i would have hired a guy that had a 4 or 5 year gap in their work history...
i just need one good, believable excuse...

I've known people in your position that did this, and it worked out very well for them both during their service, and later. A lot of companies will hire vets, and your employment gap will not be as significant.
no offence to you at all
i know you are only trying to help

but join the army? now? FUCK THAT! lol
