I know a lot of people here are or were members of the military so I wanted to ask a few questions.
Background: I'm 29, been working in IT Security/computers for 13 years and am burned out, expert in Computer security, Network Admin, etc. I have a felony for computer hacking from 5 years ago on my record.
First off, since I'm older and have a record am I even a candidate for the military? I believe I'm too old to join the marines, what branch would be a good choice? The Air force seems to have many jobs related to my abilities, but I don't think I can get a security clearance with my record?
What are the chances of actually getting the job you choose when you sign up? If its in your contract can they choose not to assign it to you?
Thanks any input is appreciated, Happy new years!
