Should I do what the recruiters say and omit something on my application?

I think what it comes down to is who was with you on that trip to Germany, and who else in your life knows about this? When they do a Secret clearance check, they don't look too deeply into your life. But they do for Top Secret. They will get ALLLL in your business for Top Secret. If they're interviewing your buddy for a Top Secret clearance and he mentions how messed up you two got in Germany, and they haven't heard about it before, there goes your clearance, maybe your MOS and even possibly your enlistment. Or maybe no one will say anything about it. How big of a gamble are you willing to take?
