Intervention in Lieu of Conviction?
Question by Chris: Intervention in lieu of conviction?
Hello,
I’m 23 years old and curious about my future chances of joining the military. About six months back I paid a visit to a local Navy recruiter and found that with a single drug-related misdemeanor (only offense at that time) I would be able to attempt enlistment one year after the incident. However, within the last three months I was arrested for deception to obtain a controlled substance. Thankfully I received “intervention in lieu of conviction.” This means that after a 1 year period I’ll have no felony on my record. Given I’ve had three (? maybe two) speeding tickets, the first misdemeanor (of the 3rd degree – “Drug Abuse” was the name of the charge), and now this – is there any hope in joining any branch of the military. I doubt I’ll be able to receive a security clearance despite my college education and 99 ASVAB score, but just wondering if I should have any hope in joining. Should I contact this recruiter again or will it be a waste of time? Any help is greatly appreciated.
