Normally this is up to the judge. However, it is a punishable crime known as perjury and it is a felony....

Punishment can range from a stern warning, fine, or time in jail. Depending on what you are lying about..

Lying under oath in court can have serious consequences. In a criminal trial you can be held in criminal contempt of court, not to mention being charged with 'obstruction of justice,' and can be jailed. In civil cases you can be ruled in civil contempt of court and face a stiff fine.

Depends on the terms of the lie, if it is for enlistment purposes then you could be discharged for a "fraudulent enlistment", anything else you face what ever punishment comes from the severity of the lie.
