The best part of this deal is, the charges are dropped, you have a job and a place to live for the next four years, they will pay for college, and time served in the military looks good on job applications and pretty much everywhere else in life. There's really no beating that deal. The only down side is, if you dont want to join the military, you're stuck for 4 years.

I'm trying to get a 2nd degree felony dropped before I go to trial.

Good luck to you, Sir. I hope it all works out.




I talked to my recruiters and they seem like they arnt going to help me out much, they will give a statement that I expressed interest in joining the military but thats it. Perhaps if I press them a little more they will help me out.

Additionally, they said that if the charge is dropped to a misdemeanor in a bargon plea then I still cannot join, the Army will look at as if I was still trafficking drugs. So basically I am screwed from going into the army unless it's dismissed.





I had my court date today, I drove 5 hours to louisville to sit there for 5 minutes. We pushed the actuall date back to the 14th of may, or the '20 day date' in hopes that something may go amiss so that the charges are dismissed. Good news though, after finally seeing the citation (didn't have it at the time I first met with him), the lawyer feels much better about the case and feels that they have a weak case against me.

Things are looking a little better ^.^
