One misdemeanor while in DEP?

[RuffNight2007]

Come on... we've been waiting patiently for you to spill your guts, Achped... Sorry for being nosy as hell but... what the hell did you do?! =D

Now..............let's start a pool and try to guess what he did - yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me see now.............hmmmmmmmmm..............something stupid teenage boys do...................I GOT IT! You were caught with your winkie out in public?

Sorry dude, you left it open for questioning. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I was actually thinking of "streaking." Is that back in now???

Achped, I am hoping you have an attorney at this point. If you do, talk to him about setting up a plea deal that could help you to avoid a punishment that would cause problems for you going to boot camp. The prosecutor will likely be willing to play ball assuming you didn't do anything too bad. It costs money to have someone on probation or other supervised release type program.

There is a decent chance that you could manage to get the guilty plea through with little more than a reasonable fine with the promise of entering the military as a part of the deal. It used to be common for people to take this route. It is no longer routine, but since you're already in the DEP you may be able to get it done.

I really don't want to say anything more than I already have, not that I'll say anything that I haven't already told the police, but I'm sure you guys understand.

Dont ask for help if you dont have the balls to man up to what you did. Really no one in here cares what you did...yeah it may be humorous to us and we'll remember it for a day or two but seriously, this is where all that integrity and honesty comes in to play. You better get used to going up to the Company Gunny and telling him that you F'ed before he finds out from someone else. It will save you A LOT in the end.

[Achped]

And you know, I would have no problem saying telling you guys what happened if my lawyer, recruiter, and every single other adult I know had already told me NOT to go into details with ANYONE....


....especially when the person who called the police on me in the first place frequents this forum.


Not that I lied to the police, or am hiding anything, I just don't want to get into any details until this is over with and I don't have to worry about causing any more problems. (like say I said the pencil was green in my statement, but on here I said it was torquoise, and get the SO WHAT COLOR WAS IT EXACTLY? You know thats perjury if you lied to us right? Blah blah blah, again, thats just an example and has no relevance to anything)

[STA0311]

Good job listening to those people by bringing it up on the forum then. Shows outstanding ability to follow direction.

[Achped]

Yes, it was pretty foolish of me...but I'm confident I left it vague enough not to worry about it.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Not really. You talked about it when you were told not to, which is a failure to obey an order. Then you asked for help, and won't make it clear what kind of help you need.

Regardless, what I said above stands. Unless the crime is much more serious than you're making it appear, it should work out fine.

On a side note, I have to say I am disappointed that someone that visits this forum regularly would call the police on you. I would assume they are a wannabe or a poolee- and they should have known to use the chain of command and not call the police on a fellow poolee.

DANGIT, thats the THIRD TIME my internet has screwed up and I've lost a huge post I've written!!!

OKAY!

For the third time....

I did something illegal a few months ago, I had no idea it was going to land me in this much trouble. I viewed it as doing 70mph in a 65, it seriously didnt seem like a big deal. (Its not drugs, or vandalism, or theft, or anything "criminal" per say, its basically me just making a mistake and doing something an idiot teenage guy could be seen doing) I'd love to say what kind it was, but I really don't feel like putting it out on the internet just yet. Lets just say it wasn't a crime against another person, or property.

Well, in any case, the police found out, they contacted me and my recruiter, and talked to me at my house. I helped them out, cooperated to the fullest, I manned up and basically said, you're right, I messed up, now lets move on so I can get this behind me and move on to the Marine Corps.
Its a misdemeanor, and I'm basically wondering 2 things:

1. I've looked ALLL OVER the Internet trying to find information if you need a waiver for one misdemeanor. All the websites say you need a waiver for two, but no where can I find anything that gives any information at all for one misdemeanor. Its not a big deal, as its not a "moral" crime or anything so I can easily get a waiver, I'm just hoping I don't have to do that. (I have a perfect record other than this too)

2. Does the Marine Corps have any sort of waiting period after probation or anything like that? I saw online the Army makes you wait 30 days after ending probation in order to enlist, but it says nothing about the USMC and it says nothing about people already in DEP. (And yes, I was DEP'd in when this took place)

My recruiter and I have already talked about it, and she has spoken with the investigator and it looks as if my DEP status may help me out and show that I'm not just some screwup at life.

i'm curious now what it is did you mushroom stamp somebody on the forehead or what?? lol and i wouldnt worry about it if you spoke to your recruiter so dont go up in the moment of truth time and say you have a misdemeanor and didnt report it and get booted before you even began...(since you did tell your recruiter)

Not to sound like I'm changing the rules in the middle of the game, but when I made the first post I hadn't talked to a lawyer nor had my recruiter told me to not say anything.

It was that afternoon (when the poolees were hanging out at the RSS, which I can prove since I did post it from my poolee friend's house's computer) that my recruiter said keep your friggin mouth shut, which I should have done in the first place.

Again, not that me saying anything would make me guilty of perjury, or bring up more charges, or make the punishment worse, I've just been told not to and understand why I shouldn't.
