Currently on unsupervised probation judge said he would let me off if all my fines were paid in full, I applyed for a credit card in someones name and was charged with a felony was still on probation. The person who name I used didn't want to take of work to press charges so the investigator pressed the charges. He said that since she didn't want to take off that day to press charges he was kinda over it and he was going to help me out are at least try to see what he can do. He talked to the judge and the judge said for me to pay my fines from my previous charge and he would see about still aloowing me to go into the military. SO MY QUESTION CAN WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND SETUP A PLEA FOR ME TO STILL BE ABLE TO GO TO THE MILITARY ARE WILL I NEED A LAWYER IF I NEED A LAWYER I WILL GET MY OWN NOT ONE APPOINTED

A clarified YES. First you ought to have an attorney. Second depending upon the charge(s) you are charged with together with your past criminal record and your age you MIGHT be able to get what some states call "acceptance of a conditional discharge" (e.g. if you are good for 6 months or 12 months and don't get into trouble the charge will be dismissed). This is irregardless if you go into the military or not.
Generally you need an attorney to work out something, but it doesn't hurt to try. If you cannot afford an attorney and usually if it is a misdemeanor or higher, you can ask the court to appoint an attorney to represent you at no charge. It is far better to do this with an attorney than without.
Make sure you say something like: "Suppose I said to you I'd be willing to plead "no contest" or "guilty" to the charge would you be willing to give me some kind of plea deal where if I don't get into any trouble that the charge would be dismissed after say 6 or 12 months or would you be willing to give me so kind of offer that if I TRY to enlist in the US Military that you will dismiss the charges after 6 or 12 months after I am accepted in the US Military?"
The key is that you probably would want to get rid of the charge totally so it won't hurt you the rest of your life, so try getting it dismissed as above without Military duty and if not through the military enlistment in "like a bone".
As far as disqualification, you don't say the charge, but I'd call a military recruiter out-of-state from where you live and as a general question without giving your name, etc.
Good luck!

It's entirely possible, unfortunately, since the military's standards have never been lower, and Bush needs more and more young people for Operation Human Shield in Iraq. The strain caused by an unjust war has the Army, Marines, etc., scrambling like crazy for people, and sadly, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, and ending up with misfits and criminals like you. Also, judges are all too willing to ease some of the congestion in the prisons and jails, and send people like you into war instead of prison.

The military does not want criminals. Part of the questions that will be asked when you enlist will hinge around if you are joining the military in order to avoid being charged for a crime.

I hesitate to offer advise you sound like a career petty criminal. but if you were a relative I would suggest that you solicit the aid of a recruiter. It scares the hell out of me thinking you will be on the loose representing USA in a war torn nation where looting is one of their big problems.
What were you thinking to try for a credit card in someone else's name you need counseling to learn right from wrong.

The military doesn't want criminals just like the first four people said. You are dishonest and should've had charges put agaisnt you.

the only way it could work is if the Judge seals your record so that it dosent count against you for enlistment
