can you go into the military if youre on probation?

Question

Can anyone give me a source to back it up? I need it to show my BF...

Answer 1

You can not even leave for basic training with an outstanding parking ticket. Everything must be cleared before leaving for training. You cannot even take the physical and enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) with anything outstanding.

The days of "jail or military" from the judge are long gone.

Answer 2

Forget the Navy and the Air Force. Our Navy son has seen two Nukes kicked out for a DUI in the last year. Try the Army and the Marines.

Answer 3

Right now you can probably get in as convicted three time felon. They are having such recruiting problems they honestly recruiting in Columbia, other Latin America Countries and some south Asian countries promising fast tract citizenship for service in Iraq. I was Kidding about the the felon thing, the rest is true.

Answer 4

If it was a felony, it might be tough. You need to go to a recruitment office and lay it all out for them. And DON'T SIGN ANYTHING unless it is to let you in the service. If one recruiter turns you down, go talk to another but don't leave a paper trail. If you can get a reference from your probation officer, do it.

BUT ALWAYS TELL THEM THE TRUTH! Lying will get you in a passel of trouble.

Answer 5

Depending on the charge, you can enlist in the Navy if you are on unsupervised probation but not supervised probation.

Answer 7

No you can't. Go to any of the websites and it will tell you the qualifications.

Answer 8

probably not
