If you are still in DEP, you can request to be released.  However, it doesn't look very good, and if you ever regret the decison and try to get back into any Branch, most likely no recruiter will even give you the time of day, as you've already wasted valuable time and resources from a previous recruiter.

I am an army recruiter and no you can not get a deffered sentence to join the Army.  You can not have any pending violations, open charges, etc.  You are considered Disqualified with no waiver authorized until its taken care of(ie. fine paid)  If an Army recruiter tells you otherwise don't do it.  You could be brought up on charges later for fraudulent enlistment.

the only moves the military pays for are  pcs  permanent change  of  station. and they will move you back to your hometown after   you finish your time. they dont pay when you decide to leave the service member. thats on you to foot the bill not them. the service member isnt moving so they dont care

you'll get new uniforms, but you'll have to pay for them... just like you had to pay for your uniforms when you first got your seabag in bootcamp.\nsince you got out, you won't be able to enter as a petty officer.  you'll probably be an e-3.

THEY WILL FIND OUT!\n\nI WAS IN THE NAVY FOR 4 YRS AND WE HAD A CAT COME IN TO THE SQUADRON AND STATE THAT HE WAS FROM SAN DIEGO (MADE UP GREEN CARD) AND IT CAME OUT IN THE WASH A BIT DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY DEPORTED HIS ASS!\n\nSO YES THEY WILL FIND OUT!\n\nHOWEVER YOU CAN JOIN THE SERVICE AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A LEGAL CITIZEN. I WAS THE LEGAL YEOMAN OF MY SQUADRON AND WE HAD A FEW FOLKS LIKE THAT SOME FROM THE PHILLIPINES ETC.  SIT DOWN WITH YOUR RECRUITER THEY HAVE WAVERS FOR THINGS YOU KNOW!  IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS LADY JUST LET ME KNOW!\n\nGOOD LUCK

Talk to a recruiter. You attend college, but have to spend extra time in NROTC activities and courses while attending normal classes. After you graduate, you become an officer and serve a couple more years. \nYou stay in school during the NROTC program and are not sent off to a war if there is a war going on.

idraw4u hit it in a nutshell.\nBest advice I can give is to find someone who is recently out after more than 6 years or is currently in with more than 6 years. Reason I say this is the first few years in any branch of the service is the worst. You're starting at the bottom of the ladder. Anyone with less than 6 years probably does not have a good feeling for the Navy. Over 6 years they have re-enlisted by seeing something positive in the Navy life.\nRecruiters-will not lie to you, however they will not tell you the whole truth. Misinformation by a recruiter can get them thrown in the brig, period. They are very good at what they do, like used car salesmen. They can show you everything available on the lot but there is a few they have to get sold and will try to "guide" you into buying it. Research on your own on what you would like to do as a job, keeping in mind on if it is a marketable skill when you enter life after the military. What schools can you get guaranteed after bootcamp? Accelerated advancement (higher rank, better pay)? Once you have found one or two skills you want, talk to a recruiter. Stick to your guns on what job you want, cause they will try to get you to take one of the higher priority job they have to fill. Every month, they get the new list of openings, so if they don't have what you want, check back next month or have them contact you when one comes up. This is your life decision, make sure YOU make it. Good luck and hope to call you shipmate soon.

I was active duty Navy, and then went to the Navy Reserves after 6 years active. It was a hard transition to make. I had no obligations in my contract to do reserve time, so after a year I transferred back to the inactive reserves.\n\nI had nothing to do that was related to my training on drill weekends, and the thing that really pushed over the top for me was the 2 weeks active time. Being a reservist, even though we was active before (it was a unit of mostly E-4's to E-6's former active duty), we was treated like crap by the active duty people. Maybe I was just lucky, but we never did that on the ship I was on when I was active.

This question can probably go either way. It depends on many factors such as the branch of service they were trying to get back or go into. You would have less of a chance going into the Marines or the Air Force, but have a greater chance of getting into the Army. Then, it would also depend on the recruiter.

i joined the military a year after high school.  In my mind it has bettered my future.  I have learned leadership and management skills that most Citizens would pay to have.  Its easier to get a job saying that you retired from the military.  It shows that you come from a background of lots of hardwork, dependability, and that you will get the job done.  Its a great way of life, but not for everyone.  You have to learn to sacrifice your time to take care of others, and that its not all about you anymore.  The benefits are great.  The pay isnt that great unless you are an officer.  But, you can learn to manage your money and put it to use and have a great retirement.  When i get done with the military i wont have to work again unless i choose to.  Id say give it a shot...just dont be a douchebag, do what your told, be where you are supposed to be, in the correct uniform, and dont cock an attitude at your seniors and you will do great.  You dont have to be smart to make it far (on the enlisted side that is).  If you do then good luck, and remember it is only what you make of it...if it sucks then your attitude sucks.\n\n\nAlso served in iraq, now in korea...and education is possible.  Dont listen to what the others say on that issue.  If you are willing to give up some of your "free-time" then you can do it.

maybe you could go to your local Navy recruting office and they could refer you from there on what to do. Good Luck.

My friend is in the DEP too, for the Navy though, he was suppose to go Feb. 13, but they told him that they could probably fix it to where he can leave earlier. He's really excited about it. Good Luck.

join the marines if you want to, nothing bad about that. realize, you will be put into harms way and at times it will suck, but at times it was worth it.

Nope, will not happen. Even if you get a mental discharge. It is other than honorable...which is crap. How much time you have left? Hang in there. Be over before you know it.\n\nEDIT: I know your pain.....I went into the Navy at 26...i completely see and understand all you are saying. Hang in there. Most of the younger bucks lose face when they start acting all big and bad. Don;t worry about it. \n\nBut, remember: You face the same thing in the real world. I work at an Engineering firm now. And my BOSS is a 23 year old brat.

Air Force or Navy...Join get a good job...DO NOT go in "open"get a guaranteed job before you enlist...do your 4 years and get out.

No. We're recruits in the navy until we graduate boot camp.

Joining the military is a very personal decision and nobody can make it for you.  When I joined everyone thought I was throwing my life away!!  Those ex-friends are now either college dropout or college graduates.  The funny thing is not a single one of them has a job.  Decide what you want to get out of the experience and go for it.  Many people, especially nowadays look very positively upon military experience.  \n\nYou are going to go to basic training and from what I can understand it is much easier now than it has ever been.  If you get Ft. Jackson don't forget to bring a teddy bear....j/k but that is the easiest of the basic training stations.  After basic you are going to go to AIT/school for whatever you decided you wanted to do in the military.  Then after that they ship you home and you drill once a month.  Not that big of a deal.\n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you need more specifics.  Stay strong and don't listen to anyone who has not served!!!  They are just giving you biased opinions based on experiences they have never had.  It is like a lawyer trying to do brain surgery, they are just not qualified and know nothing about it.
