Good morning.
My name Is Dustin,and I have a few questions concerning law enforcement and my military past. I went to ft benning GA for BCT for the ARMY. Tons of family problems came up. Basically I was torn between what to do. Long story short I received a Chapter 5-17 ELS cause being depression. I'm alot better now I'm a great athlete I don't smoke or drink. I'm not a law breaker I have a good record. I'm considering going to school for my Bach degree in criminal justice,BUT is it really worth my time? Basically I'm asking is there even a possibility of me becoming involved with law enforcement with me having My chapter 5-17? It's classified under medical discharge under honorable conditions. I really want to become a DEA agent,but i know i have to start from the bottom and work my way up. So in short is there any chance of me becoming a police officer,and then becoming apart of DEA??? I'm mostly curious about if this discharge is gonna affect me on simply becoming a police officer? Since it was a ELS technically I was never "in the army" so should i even bring up my military past??
Thank you so much!
