As far as the medical history survey forms go I don't really see them as a question of honesty. Two incidents in my experience, albeit brief, that make me say this. First, way back in high school when I was trying to get into ROTC the form had a box about any history with reactions to bee...

Or just because you flippantly contradict officers who have the experience to know what they are talking about and then close with a smart-assed "over" doesn't necessarily mean that you will take a pounding in this thread. Funny how it seems to work out that way though. In my limited...
