Anonymous asked a question to Claire W.
I mentor prison leavers and one of my mentees has an interest in joining the army. Will his convictions will be a blocker? He is due for release in 6 weeks and will be on licence for a period. Offences are burglary, possession of a class B drug, having a bladed article in public and driving offences
Hello,
You can join the Army even with a criminal conviction. For more details: Joining the Army with a Criminal Record.
The main thing is to be honest during the application.
