All of the answers given so far are close to being right, but all of them are not completely accurate.
1. You can not process for the Army if you have a court case pending. You can however on a case by case basis take the ASVAB based on what the criminal charge is you are going to court for.
2. There is a program that the Army offers to help you get your GED. It's called the GED Plus program. If you can score a 50 and above on the ASVAB the Army will allow you to enlist providing you are scheduled to take the GED within 90 days of your enlistment. The Army even pays for your GED test. We even provide you with an Army website designed to help you study for the GED.
3. NO your recruiter can not take part of your legal process. This means he can not show up to court with you and try to convince the judge or DA to dismiss or reduce your charges because you are planning on joining the Army. You can however take a copy of your ASVAB scores to the judge to show him that you have started your enlistment process. However if the Judge dismisses your charges or reduces your charges and states in the court dockets he did with the condition you enlist the Army you are then SCREWED because that would disqualify you from joining the Army. Good luck.
PS I see an Army recruiter answered your question before mine but even he is not completely right. A lot of recruiters don't even know about the GED plus program or don't even know how it works.

you may NOT enlist while you have ANY pending legal issues. If you are given probation or other punishment, you may NOT enlist until you complete it all. you may NOT ask the judge to go light on you just to you can enlist, the military will NOT accept you . Active duty military will NOT accept you without a GED or HS diploma( and in fact may not even take you with the GED). they will NOT help you get a GED.
a recruiter may NOT ask the judge to drop or reduce charges. in fact he cannot get involved at all with your court issues.
I thinkt he Guard only has a program where they will help you get the GED, but as stated, they cannot touch you while you pending legal issues.

Whatever you did, the Army is not going to get you out of it. Whats stopping you from getting your GED now? It seems you are trying to join for all the wrong reasons. The Army is a good way to turn your life around, but they will not solve all your problems.

1. there is no such program to help you get your GED. you have to obtain that yourself.
2. IAW AR 601-210 you cannot process for military service nor can a recruiter attempt to persuade a judge or lawyer to help you in your legal issues.
3. never never never give out your personal info in such a forum as this.
4. if your charges are too serious you will be permanately disqualified.

The military will not let you join until your legal issues are cleared up. Look online at goarmy.com or your local phone book will probably have a 1-800 listing for a recruiter near you.
