Criminal conviction

Post by tridgway »

Hi All

Im looking to join the army but i have been charged with assault to severe injury. (scottish Law). Its still awaiting a court date, if it even goes to court. Hopefully I wont get convicted as I felt I acted in self defence, but If I do get convited will I be barred from joining the Army for a certain amount of time.

Any info would be much appreciated.
