I doubt seriously that he will pass ANY security clearance in the military. Frankly I'd be surprised if they even gave it passing consideration to try. AFAIC this guy has no business in the military. He has passed up his options while commiting a burglary and in possession of weapons while a felon, not to mention weapons violations compounding the burglary. This guy deserves no second chance in the military. He blew that when he screwed up his probation.

Even if they did let him in what makes anyone think he'd "straighten up?" The Service isn't mommy or a babysitter- the only difference is he'll have the chance to steal automatic weapons instead of Wal-Mart shotguns in the military.

Frankly people like that degrade the quality of our military-I would hate to depend on someone like that in a military situation. The best he can hope for is a years' County, but it sounds like they're tired of his act so he'll probably do two years in the State Pen. As it should be, for his continued criminality.

Military time in lieu of jail time went out with the end of the draft.

he can do that. But not in the US Army, in the French Foreign Legion. Course, he'll prolly die there but who cares?

That sounds bad. I am sure if that boy was kept busy and away from bad influence for a few years, he would have matured and outgrown that crap.

He was not involved with drugs or engaged in violence - just stupid unplanned idiocies like that car theft or breaking into the store while the lights are out. He is hispanic, by the way and raised by a single mother.
It looks like he is on the way of becoming a career criminal. Too bad.

Unless of course we take a beating in Iraq in the next few months and the army has trouble getting willing bodies. That does not seem likely.

The Military wants people with clean records and good SAT scores.

First thing he needs to do is go talk to a recruiter. Tell him not to even think about the USAF cause they are the most strict as far as backround checks and clearences.

When he does, make sure he is completly honest with said recuiter and not to jerk him around in the slightest bit.

close to the the end of the month is the best time becuase most recruiters are trying to make mission. They wont let him enlist with a pending trial but if his recruiter can/will speak for him on his behalf it might help u never know.

his best guess would be the army or the Marines and you can probably tell by my avitar which would be my choice. Tell him good luck and to smarten the f**k up.

Even if he does get in, its not what the military makes of him...but what he makes of the military. That is what it all really boils down to IMHO.
