Recruiter Gives Bad Advice to Applicant About Clearance Eligibility

3

If I had a dollar for every time a Subject in the military said “My recruiter told me to answer that question that way on my SF 86” when I conducted their ESI, I could have retired years ago. When the military member would say this, I would get their recruiters name rank and phone number and send a case message for possible falsification by the recruiter up to DCSA. Who knows if any investigation or action was taken against the recruiter. I would also include in my ROI that the Subject indicated their recruiter advised them to answer the question the way it was answered on the SF 86 and include the recruiters name and rank. With it in the ROI, it now is an official document showing the recruiter told Subject to falsify and answer on their SF 86.
