Yeah like it was said before Enlistments are getting tougher. We are also booting out more people. About every ten years or so we go through a purge in the Army.

I've been in for 13 years (active/reserve mix) currently on active duty and will probably make Major early next year.

There's something in those tickets that is throwing up the red flag. I think it takes seven years for a criminal (non-felony) act to be taken out of your record. Even then sometimes you have to hire a lawyer to get it cleared.

One last FYI...a lot of SF operators already have their Bachelors. Out of the estimated 20 or so Soldiers I have endorsed to attend selection only one has made it.

Don't give up. Get a print out of your DMV record and make sure it lines up with what happened in court. People sometimes make fat finger mistakes...who know they probably have you listed as a sex offender? (that's extreme but possible)

Some good words spoken here. Someone else posted there being about a 50% wash out / failure rate in selections. From start to finish its more like 85=90%. There are alot of people who get into the pipeline and decide its not for them. The SF lifestyle is alot more different than you would expect.

Let us know what happens when you go back to the recruiter's office.

You're referring to my post. I didn't say from start to finish, just from start.
