Any truth to this?

[JayBird]

Hi all,

I have a 17 y/o daughter that was just arrested for a DWI (Driving while Intoxicated)....bad choices and wrong peers...but after my 4 years in the Army (Infantry) and the discipline I was taught (I Loved it) I suggested that she think about serving in the military.

A Local Recruiter here in Louisiana told her and another 19 y/o that the Gaurd would "Get Rid Of" their DWI when they joined... I KNOW that is not true.

Any help? What are the stipulations?

Thank you for any help,

The Guard nor Recruiters can change what is on someone's record.

All I can imagine is that the Recruiter could get a waiver for the incident, so it wouldn't prevent her from enlisting. That must be what he meant. Sometimes people have slang that can be very misleading to others.
