I could be wrong but I don't remember anyone ever saying "No" to me while I was on active duty. (It could be that I knew better than to ask for something that I couldn't have) But it's something that you hear a lot in civilian life. (In fact, I wish I had heard it on one occasion - when I asked my first wife to marry me). But, seriously...
When looking for a job, don't let "no" stop you. You're going to hear a lot of them before you hear "yes". And, remember, sometimes "no" simply means "not now".
When you hear "yes", say thank you. Then clarify what "yes" means.

I went to one interview in Corpus Christi that I'll never forget. The guy doing the interview made it plain that I was not getting the job but his job was to waste my time with the interview anyway. So when I got the mandatory question, "What did you do in the Army?" I answered with a deadpan look on my face and in a monotone voice, "I broke things and killed people, have a nice day." And I got up and walked out before he could recover and say anything else. I'll bet he's never forgotten that interview either.

Up vote just for that alone...lol
I've become extremely familiar with "no" over the years. I try to get some constructive criticism, if possible. And i feel its their loss, not mine.
