After re-reading your post...I am speaking about convictions...and maybe you are not. I suppose it is conceivable that a judge somewhere would agree to dismiss charges on a relatively minor offense if the defendant would agree to join the military. But even an arrest record...without conviction can be a factor in denying one the previlege of serving. When recruiting is easily meeting its goals the standards for enlistment are higher than if recruiting levels are not being met.
