What is the biggest culture shock you had in the army? I am learning that compulsive lying gets you farther ahead. I'm but a messenger.

You are in the Navy, so I am going to let you off the hook for that remark. But compulsive lying gets you absolutely nowhere. It will also put your team at risk, and dishonesty is the unforgiveable sin for me. it's a sign of a lack of responsibility and integrity that is the backbone of who we are.

Oh no. You need to work on that as soon as possible. Don't wait for any harsh consequences.

This is a serious matter. You might get a light punishment at first but this is a possible cause of a dishonorable discharge. You can still change it.
