" The only time I ever was challenged in employment because of my affiliation with the LDS Church was when I was seeking admission to a position as a Counter-Intelligence Corps Special Agent in the USArmy. One of the members of the review board posited the situation that I was assigned surveillance of an Army officer and he went into a bar and began a long spell of drinking. I had to follow him w/o revealing my identity. How would I do that and avoid the exposure that would come if I refused to drink? I said something about ordering a drink, and asking for non-alcholic mixers and nursing the mixers as long as possible. It must have satisfied them, 'cause I spent the next three wonderful years in that "James Bond" kind of service.
