Here is the story: Minor Convicted of larceny in the State of CA for a item under $400. CA law said it was a misdemeanor, but Military Standards deal with all 50 states so any larceny is considered a felony. He rang up a winter coat for his friend and gave his friend his own employee discount and Meryvns had him arrested and he was charged and convicted with larceny. He wanted to be a Ranger but Army said no so he chose Infantry so obviously he caries and uses weapons, all soldiers accept Chaplains do. This waiver took over half a year and he was a minor at the time. All probation time was over, all community service was finished and all fines paid. This this is the type of felons in the Military. ANY other job would have considered it a misdemeanor. The media would have you believe that rapist and murders are in the Army, that is not the case. ADD: "Murder and Other Serious Crimes are Allowable Offenses" this is the title of the article. That article is very misleading and inaccurate. The numbers may or may not be correct, but the reasons aren't. It also talked about the Army letting drug abusers in. MEPS drug tests. MEPS is not run by the Army, it is run by the DOD. MEPS will not clear you medically if you don't pass a drug test, Army has no say in that what so ever. This is the same for ALL Branches of the Military. If you have a history of any abuse drug, violence, whatever you aren't passing medical. You can't even get a shot at a waiver unless MEPS passes you on the waiver or will allow a waiver and they won't for people on drugs or with drug abuse history. If you do get caught peeing hot there can be a waiver granted. This can only happen after months have passed, you come back and piss clean. but they still won't grant it if they think you are an abuser There is allot of good and bad info on the net. You can not take one source and count on it being accurate. When I was Recruiting I got one felon in.
