I had a theft under $300 about 8 years ago. After i swore in a week later, my recruiter called me and sd my paperwork from MEPS came back stating that I might have a warrant because I did not finish my 24 community service. I don't remember but i thought my case was closed. I live in MD and this happened in NY. I have called numerous times to the NY courthouse, and was told there is no record of a warrant or anything. So i don't know what will happen. Can i be kicked out og the Navy now cause of this. My recruiter sd he is doing everything possible too see what he can do.

You've asked this question at least 17 times in the last week. Are you expecting to see different answers now?

ghostworld32,
If they decide that you enlisted under false pretenses, yes they can kick you out. They work hard to get along with the civilian law enforcement agencies. It will probably depend on whether there are still issues you need to resolve. Sometimes the civilian agencies figure that enlistment is enough to square things up.
It sounds like your recruiter is going to bat for you. If he thinks you'll make a good sailor, he can do a lot.
My advice would be to make sure this is dealt with before you get much further or you may waste a lot of time. Also, don't screw up in the Navy. The civilians are sweethearts compared to military law.

Yes, there is a good chance that you will be discharged. Did you tell your recruiter about this? I know they asked all kinds of questions about your past. If there is no record, how is it that the recruite called you about this? Must be a record some place? But good luck, talk to the Army later if you get kicked out. They have much lower standards.

Yes, you can. Stealing can be anything from a misdemeanor to a felony. The Navy does not recruit anyone with a criminal record, or a history of dishonest behavior. However, if it is possible, you could finish the time. It MAY help your situation, it MAY not. I'm not sure.

If there was any loose ends that you did not report upon enlistment they could keep you from going in. If they know, they are more lenient.
The FBI runs a THOROUGH background check. I saw a man in my crew get busted for Fraudulent Enlistment. He was dishonorably discharged. He did some brig time first. It was over an outstanding warrant.
Things may have changed since. This was 1983.

It is possible that they will but if you were honest about the theft and the warrant isn't actually there, then they probably won't. Depending on your rate you may have to change jobs though.

What you are going to have to probably do is write a report saying what happened and what you have learned from it and the reason you joined the military. Your chances of getting kicked out depends if it went on your permanent record and if it is on your juvenile record or not. if it is on your juvenile record i wouldnt worry to much about it. if it is on your permanent record, its a 50-50 chance. GOOD LUCK.

They can do work arounds, and the navy may need to fill a quota, and the courts may go easy since you are going into the military..That is if you even go to court

I highly doubt they will kick you out. They have to keep making them recruiting goals, they will probally just make you get it taken care of, maybe even help you out.
