    NOPE

  • spyderman131:

    The army would let a murderer in ,they let in anybody, unlike the USAF

    Do you like the new army slogan, “Army Strong” instead of an Army of One?

  • Just_gone:

    I believe so. Can you have it sealed?

  • natsugusa:

    (1) The Army does not let “anyone” in. A DUI conviction, for instance, is an automatic disqualifier. Anyone with a major felony on the books (drug trafficking, rape, homicide) is not allowed in. Anyone who sits at MEPS long enough can see the occasional outstanding warrant collected on some idiot who has fingerprints taken and sent to the IAFIS right before checking out of final outprocessing.

    (2) Interservice rivalry is flat out needless bullshit that reflects more on the lack of character from the idiot making the baseless charges than the nobility of the service that idiot is trying to glorify. Last I checked, there was just one set of national colors, not one each for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.

    (3) And yes, you can get in with a shoplifting misdemeanor on your record, but you must have proof that you have fulfilled all obligations (monetary fines, community service) placed on you by the court for your conviction first, and then likely you will need a waiver. Talk to a recruiter (preferably, a recruiting station commander) for exact details, but make sure you have all the documentation in hand before you go.

    Yes, the only thing that will keep you out is drugs and domestic violence.

  • a360ndycooper:

    You’d have a better chance if you had a couple of violent (but not domestic) felonies under your belt, but if you bluff well, you might be able to convince them you’re as tough as GW Bush.

    All they’re looking for is a warm body to throw into the blenders in Afghanistan and Iraq. If you survive that, they’ll bring you back here about 6 years after your hitch is up, and get you to use your training against US Citizens.
