dui/ military

[Leticia0516]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca
is it possible to join the military with a dui? and does any one know what the age range to join in each branch?

You will need a waiver to enter with a DUI. Whether they are granting these waivers varies with time and service. I believe right now your chances are bleak.

The minimum age for all services is 18 (or 17 with parental consent).
The maximum age varies, 42 for the army, 27 for the AF and Coast Guard, 32 for the Navy and 28 for the Marines. That's for enlisting in regular active duty. The guard/reserves have different requirements.

Your best bet is to call your local recruiter. Some are more willing than others to work a little harder for you to get everything ok'd.

I dont know about the waiver (maybe thats on the military side), I guess talk with the recruiter about that. When I deal with these in terms of dealing with the court.. You will need to have your fines paid off, everything done, and have your probation terminated. (presuming you are still on court probation/conditional sentence - typically 3-5 years after conviction.) There is a form to do this in laymans terms call "an expungment"... but the form is a Dismissal 1203.4/1203.4a form. The form is standard and available from the Judicial council. I would wait to talk with your recruiter because they can help you and they may write a letter or someother method of advocating for you to get the judge to discharge you early.

Some courts charge a fee. if you cant afford court fees (i'm not talking about fines, a filing fee) ask for a waiver.
