DS-260 - Have I served in military?

[YellowDuneBuggy 59]

Hi,

I'm Italian born in 1981. Military service was mandatory back in the days.

I was in the "Lista di Leva", (the list of guys who could do the military service).

I was called in 2001 and I spent a couple of days in Florence to do all the checks and all the visits.

Together with many others, I was found "Riformato" (ineligible) to do the military service, I took the train and I went back home.

That's it! I didn't swear in front of my flag. I didn't shoot or received and sort of training.

There was probably a document that certifies it, but either I've never had it or it got lost in the last 20 years.

There is, however, a document that says that I was in the list of the guys who could do the military service.

If you asked me: "Did you serve in the military?" I would answer a strict: "No!"

What should I answer in the DS-260?

If I answer yes, they want to know the Branch of Service, the Rank, the Military Specialty... All things that I can't reply to because they're completely irrelevant to me, simply because... I didn't serve in the military.

So, have I served in the military?

Thanks
