[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 525327, member: 1514"] Sue, lots of kids have a run in with the law as juvies and go into the military. I know that several of the Marines that I met when I was hanging out with Jamie told me that they went into the Corps because they were about to go down the wrong path with drugs so they turned to the military. I know they were willing to talk to me openly because they knew about Jamie and Cory and our family. Jamie wasnt shy about telling anyone anything. I have also had the Army recruiter tell us that if Cory had only had his GED he could have gone into the Army...now that was long before his felonies. But they also didnt see his physical disabilities either and I had to tell them they wouldnt take him on a bet because of them. His juvie record wasnt the issue. I think thank you would love the military, no matter what branch he went into. Number one, lets face it, he has been pretty much institutionalized for a good part of his life and the military is nothing if it isnt structure based. It would give structure but without being in a 4 wall containment. Oh as far as that 92...thats good. I bet he would do even better now. I think Jamie got a 98 and that opened up any number of jobs for him. MP is a really high job because you have to have a security clearance. Jamie had a top security clearance and no, Cory didnt hurt him. [/QUOTE]
