I hope so because that's where a lot of them should be sent!

[nannybooby]

Pretty sure you can,t.oooh RAVID touchy touchy wind yer neck in

Ravid, I hope not - why should the Armed Forces have to take criminals? They want people who are responsible team workers and leaders!

I believe each case is taken individually and given that it's a minor offence and your first recruiting contact thinks you've got potential it doesn't necessarily stand against you.

[jake-the-peg]

Yes you can.

But not apparently the Navy or Air force.

Someone was asking about this in Law a while ago

Yes, seriously, they can - wolf's first link is good, but it does depend on what you've been convicted of, and how long ago it was.

'team workers and leaders'....Reg & Ronnie Kray, for example?
