This would be an absolutely retarded decision. You're getting character referenced as part of a security clearance, yet think they won't bother to even verify that the people they're talking to even exist? Just be honest and tell the recruiter that you moved for college and fell out of contact with your old friends or whatever, so you don't have anyone who can cover the full five years. Ask them if you can list one person who covers say 2014-2018 and another that covers 2017-2020 or something. Worst case they'll find a different position for you with less strict requirements, the recruiter's still going to want to make his quota for the month.I don't have any friends or relationships with people in general, but I'm trying to join the army, and for a job that requires a certain level of security clearance. One requirement for the position is three character references that go back at least 5 years. Since I don't have anyone I can really put down (and family doesn't count), could I just make up three people, buy burner phones, and then put on a fake voice for each of them? I don't know what sort of things they ask the references or if I'd get caught up in a lie.
