Lack of commitment
While I am not certain why you would lie to get out of enlistment into a volunteer Army, I do know that any falsehoods you gave on enlistment papers can bar you from enlistment or if enlisted could be grounds for removal from the Army, and potentially prosecution. If you lied to avoid enlistment for some reason, it would be best to reflect on those reasons and determine if those reasons have been resolved. Once you enlist, you are committed for that enlistment period, there is no turning back, so to speak. Be certain that serving is what you want. Do not make the commitment unless you are unquestionably certain.
Enlistment Bar was created in 1884.
Enlistment Bar ended in 1950.
When you take the oath of enlistment, you swear to obey the orders of the President of the United States and the lawful orders of the officers appointed over you. This commitment signifies loyalty to the Constitution and the mission of the military. The oath emphasizes the responsibility to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The oath of enlistment is significant in the profession of arms because it symbolizes a solemn commitment to uphold and defend the Constitution and the values it represents. It establishes a bond of trust and accountability between service members and the nation they serve. By taking this oath, individuals affirm their dedication to a higher cause, often placing the welfare of the country and its citizens above their own interests. This commitment fosters a sense of unity and purpose among military personnel.
The standard answer is no, but there are a couple of exceptions: officers who have passed their service commitment can resign their commissions, and NCOs on indefinite enlistment (E-6 over 10 years service, and up, can do this) can resign.

No, your enlistment was terminated when you were discharged.
