Felons in the military?

Question

does anyone know if people with felonies of any kind get into any branch of the armed forces
thanks for answers

Answer 1

Yes. The answer to this question is actually written into US Code. Any Agency secretary (Secretary of the Army, Navy, etc . . . ) can allow felons into the service. None of them currently allow it. But it is permitted through Title X of the United States Code, Section 504. It is through this section of code that felons were allowed to serve during the Vietnam War. For the exact code, see the link below.

Answer 2

Depending on what type of felony it is. If it has anything to do with Drugs or Alcohol the answer is NO. If it has to do with violence your chances are slim. If you have a good recruiter and he knows the system then you might have a chance. All I have to say is there is a "waver" form for everything.

the Baltimore Sun
•"a significant increase in the number of recruits with what the Army terms 'serious criminal misconduct' in their background" -- a category that included "aggravated assault, robbery, vehicular manslaughter, receiving stolen property and making terrorist threats." From 2004 to 2005, the number of those recruits rose by more than 54 percent, while alcohol and illegal drug waivers, reversing a four-year decline, increased by more than 13 percent.

the Houston Chronicle

•Army recruiters troll the outskirts of a Dallas-area job fair for ex-convicts. "We're looking for high school graduates with no more than one felony on their record," one recruiter said.

•"gang-bangers are going over to Iraq and sending weapons back ... gang members are getting access to military training and weapons."

the Southern Poverty Law Center

•"large numbers of neo-Nazis and skinhead extremists" are now serving in the military. "Recruiters are knowingly allowing neo-Nazis and white supremacists to join the armed forces, and commanders don't remove them from the military even after we positively identify them as extremists or gang members," said Scott Barfield, a Defense Department investigator quoted in the report.

The New York Times

•noted that the neo-Nazi magazine Resistance is actually recruiting for the U.S. military, urging "skinheads to join the Army and insist on being assigned to light infantry units." As the magazine explained, "The coming race war and the ethnic cleansing to follow will be very much an infantryman's war. ... It will be house-to-house ... until your town or city is cleared and the alien races are driven into the countryside where they can be hunted down and 'cleansed.' "

Answer 4

No way. You get finger printed for a background check at your local MEPS (military entrance processing station) and if you have a felony you will go home, or go to jail for lying on your app(which you would have to do to make it that far).

Answer 5

To best of my knowledge to get into arm forces is not very easy.
They certainly would check the record with the local FBI.

And if someone get into, accidentally, he/she would be arrested soon after, and would be punished harshly for False Pretenace. \\
