Don't listen to what thoose people said, look.. First of all, a juvenile CANNOT be charged with a felony. The only way they can be charged with a felony is if you were charged and tried as an adult, which I doubt you were. Second, it depends on how your charge turned out. Were you found guilty, did you have a differed disposition, or were the charged dissmissed after completing a PTI program? You charge might be classified as a felony under military law and regulations, BUT, that is a major misconduct issue, which is waiverable. Most recruiters do not know how to PROPERLY read military regs and standard, because it really does take a lawyer to understand it most of the time, and sometimes we even need to consult other lawyers. I'm a JAG, believe me, most felonies are waiverable, as long as there is just one, and it is a juvi case, not adult. Not only do most recruiters not know how to read the regs, but some just don't want to bother doing the paper work because it really is a lot to do, with no promise of it paying off. Waivers are looked most of the time from company, battalion and brigade.. brigade being the most serious waivers. Also, just so you know, even if a recruiter can prove to you by showing you a regualtion that shows you cannot enlist in the service, that does not mean he can tell you he won't file the waiver anyway. A recruiter cannot tell you no. If you insist on putting together a waiver packet, by law, he has to do it. Regs a lot of the time misinterprited, and can mean different things depending on the states laws. File the waiver reguardless, the worst that can happen is they deney it. The Army is also the only one who will waive a felony charge or conviction also BTW.
