I am enlisted in the Army and am supposed to leave for basic April 6th, a match came back on my record which means i forgot to put a charge that accured back in 1999. it's just a petty shoplifting charge that happened when i was 15, do you think it will have an effect on me shipping out?

 

possibly. whats your MOS?

 

I seen poolee's get charged and kicked out for fraudulent enlistment ( Marines ), but it was becasue of possession of drungs etc.. Since you are going into the Army I don't think you will have a problem. Just tell them you forgot since it happend a long time ago. I know the Army lets a lot more **** slide when trying to enlist.

 

im going in for infantry(11x) this charge is just something i completely forgot about concidering i was so young.

 

tell your recruiter

 

Yeah, just tell your recuriter he should understand and get the paperwork annotated. If he gives you any **** keep walking down the hall and enlist in the Marine Corps. As a matter of fact you should probably do that anyways, who wants to join the army?

 

If they discharge me will it be generalor dishonorable?

 

don't sweat that **** bro. You haven't became a soldier yet so they won't do ****, your **** it pitty and You should join the Marines you will thank the ones that told you to. You will have more pride and get more respect :YEAH

 

Fabes' right- the pride alone makes it worth it, the respect and esteem are up there too. Once a Marine always a Marine - something you can always be proud of.

Theres so much you can do in the Marines too, take me for example, i've only been in for just over two years, but here i am in Yerevan Armenia providing security for the American Embassy here, i have a cook, maid, chauffer, hooked the hell up. Plus all the extra pay for being on the MSG program. Something to think about. Good luck with whatever decision you make. Just don't worry too much over fraudulent enlistment, just tell your recruiter and he'll make it all right.

 

Entry Level Separation, unclassifiable, and you will be permitted to join another branch.

 

not the AF. they're picky about their recruits. anyway, they shouldn't be too pissy about it.

 

thanks for the advise fellas.

 

All you have to do is tell your recruiter, he will re write his paperwork...If they give you **** about it and want to remove you from the seervice, you haven't been in long enough for anything that will affect your life when you get out.........

 

OohRah

 

Hooah!
