I'm waiting for a recruiter to find out, just wondering in the meanwhile, I want to enlist as 11B so a TS is not needed right away, I can get clearances after I'm in.
Again these charges were juvenille, possession of LSD, Grand Theft, and Poss.<20 grams Marijuana

Thanks for everyone's input, almond you're an idiot and obv. not a recruiter, you don't pay attention to detail, never did i say Grand theft AUTO, my recruiter is getting me the waivers so I'm shipping out soon.

The RC will waiver some things that RA won't. Talk with a recruiter. 11Boo will take you.

here is how the Army looks at it:
Grand Theft - unauthorized taking of a vehicle - serious criminal miscoduct.
Possession of LSD - Narcotics or other habit forming substances - serious criminal misconduct
Poss of Marijuana - misdemeanor (serious offense)
Technically, you are disqualified only if you were found guilty of all of those charges. if you were convicted, you have this regulation that might help you:
Applicants with juvenile serious criminal misconduct offenses who have had no offenses within 5 years of application for enlistment may be considered for a waiver in meritorious cases without regard to 4–24o.
4-24 disqualifies anyone with more than two convictions of a serious criminal misconduct.
Good luck.

Grand theft auto makes you automatically disqualed for service in the Army, and most lilkley any branch, even though it was as a juveniel.
Waivers are rarely granted on those occasions with your record.

Yes, those can get waivered because you were a juvinile when it happened. Its alot easier for the misdemeanor to get waivered then it is the felonies though.

Were you convicted? Even if you weren't, you will certainly NOT get any kind of a security clearence and that will rule out most jobs in the military. It may depend on what you were charged with...

For the best answer. Go talk to a recruiter.

The best way to find out would be to contact your local recruiter's office.
