    Can I join the army opposed to serving 3 years probation
    Hi everyone out there, I had a question that I hope someone can answer for me. I kind of had a troubled youth, as a juvinile I have 3 felonies. One of them is theft 2nd degree, burglary 2nd degree, and taking a motor vehicle without the owners permission. These felonie occurred when I was 14,and 16 years old. Im going to be turning 24 in march. Last year I got arrested for having prscription drugs on me, and am currently going through court for that. My public defender is offering 3 years probation with suspended jail, but I have to go through treatment as well. My question is "does anybody know if instead of going through the 3 years probation will they let me join the military instead"? Please if anybody can give any kind on insight or feedback id deeply appreciate it

    If you are in the US, you will not be able to join the military. They want men and women with solid backgrounds. People who are trustworthy.

    Have you heard the term "don't do the crime if you can't do the time?"
