It depends entirely upon what the charges were, and your behavior since they were recorded. In the long run, you are better off putting it on there, because anyone with a valid court order (such as the military conducting a background check) will pull your criminal record, and if they find it and you didn't own it on your background check application, that actually looks worse than the fact that you have had charges filed against you as a juvenile (or adult for that matter).

What exactly were the charges? I was a bit of a 'rowdy' teenager and told my recruiter everything; all I had to have to join up was a 'morals waiver' and that's it. My advise is be honest because the job you get after basic training could require a Top Secret security clearance in which case you'll be found out and in deep sh*t; trust me getting kicked out would suck a whole lot more than having to wait a few extra month for a waiver...nearly everything is waiverable in the military...

they only look at the adult stuff if you are over 18 . i was a recruiter for the navy for 4 years. if youre under 18 let youre recruiter know . but chanses are they already know about it depending how far you are in the process. they will waiver anything but a hard core felony at meps. dont join the army go navy at least ya get good food and you sleep in a nice rack every night

Tell them everything. If they find out during a background search, they'll yank you out of week 8 of boot camp and send you home. Happened to a few of my buddies on Parris Island. Tell your recruiter first, as he'll be able to tell you what NOT to worry about. Then they'll ask at MEPS, then they'll ask again when you get to basic. anything that comes up after that is not good in the eyes of the Gov't.

voluntering the information is best, as long as it wasn't a serious misdemeanor or felony u should be ok, also are you over 18? once you age out of the juvenile system and your probabtion is over your record for that time is sealed, since you weren't actually a criminal but a delinquent. your best bet is to talk to your recruiter if he/she is someone you are comfortable with, they will work with you to get you in.

there are a lot of human beings in energetic accountability suitable now who've bronchial asthma or a history of bronchial asthma. Now some human beings sense you'll be able to desire to be honest and tell your recruiter and MEPs which you have bronchial asthma or a history of it and you will maximum possibly get rejected. i glance at it like this, we merely get one existence and in case you certainly need to bypass into the protection stress than you may. we are instructed all our lives to on no account take no for an answer and to on no account provide up. it is the thought that our united states has taught us for thus long and we purchase into it. yet, a small medical situation and it is interest over on your desires? human beings do not understand how lots something like this implies to a individual and how it feels to be thoroughly out of their administration with the aid of fact of a medical difficulty. Our new motto could be "you may nicely be something you prefer to be, as long as you're standard." considering is the reality. Yeah, mendacity is a probability yet dissimilar human beings do it and get away with it. the protection stress is fantastically used to it and be attentive to that's what some human beings could desire to do to connect. lots will turn any incorrect way with the aid of fact they be attentive to that they did what they had to. in case you get caught, than a minimum of you tried and did not take "no" for an answer and you'll be able to desire to be pepaired to take the punishment (that's usually undemanding). you'll be able to desire to ask your self; is it somewhat certainly worth the possibility? the easy fact is MEPs does not verify your finished medical checklist considering takes dissimilar paintings and time. they could desire to bypass by making use of your word till there is an argument or suspicion. you may now do this the honest way and demonstrate each and every thing yet your possibility is very narrow particularly in case you presently have indicators of bronchial asthma no rely how undemanding that's. Me in my view, I combat dissimilar wars to get into the protection stress.. I actually have a history of bronchial asthma (not in the previous 6 years), i'm 26 (Air stress won't take me at 28), i'm under weight, and that i've got a GED (yet I actually have a school diploma which enables lots). I even have lots to handle on acceptable of something that has not been a difficulty for me in 6 years (my bronchial asthma) and that i produce different stumbling blocks to handle. So yeah, I probable will lie and notice how some distance i'm getting. you may call me a liar and others yet I call that politics.
