I had a misdemeanor charge from 1997-1998,but thought It was cleared, now my recruiter said he got a call from MEPS, stating that it was not cleared up completely, that I still had some community service hours, I had to complete. My recruiters are trying to see what they can do. Could I be discharched from joining the Navy, now? ....................... (original charge:Theft Under $300)

If you are being truthful here about the original charges/amounts involved--IT WILL BE CLEARED UP!!!! YOU ARE IN!!! Had this been about 10/15 years ago, you'd probably been discharged!!

This is something that depends on the circumstances of the offense, the disclosure of the offense to the military, and any other investigations which could result. In some instances, I have seen people discharged for far less than what you describe. I have personally processed people out of the Navy for several different reasons. Yes discharges are easy to obtain, but at a price. In many instances, service members are separated with honorable discharges, but because they did not complete their full tour of active duty, they have had hard times being employed in civilian life.
If your recruiter says they are working on getting the matter resolved, they are doing so. Just to be on the safe side, consult the Judge Advocates Office about this matter.

No, the Navy won't let it's hooks out of you for that. Worst case scenario (depending on how you look at it) is they will delay your departure date until you complete your community service hours....although I'd sooner expect them to convince the local authority that you joining the navy is service enough to waive your remaining obligation. As for having a record, the Marine Corps actively recruit gang members, etc.....they have urban combat experience, and if they've made it to 18 yrs old, they must know what they're doing, lol...criminals are creative, and usually striving for validation or recognition....with the right reprograming, they're military machines! (Not sayin' you're a "criminal" just sayin' there's worse out there, lol.) Have fun, hope you enjoy political BS. Keep yer chin up, and yer head down.

If you swore in, then you'd be at boot camp. No internet for SR's at Great Lakes. I'll assume that you're in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP), and you're going to be in DEP, say, a minimum of three months, probably closer to six, before swearing in (again) and being sent to boot camp. In the intervening time, yeah, you'll need to clear it up.

For less than a thousand, and provided you pay the the money you owe, criminal-you joins the Navy. The Navy likes criminals like you.

The military has been accepting criminal low life's like you for a long time now.
They have a special program for you to sell your soul to the oil pipeline god in the sky. So don't wait, sign up today, they are waiting to feed your body into the killing machine fool.
