Not surprising with the amount of criminal offenders that are given the choice between jail or the military.
I hear people say this all the time... but in my 8 years I never met anyone that was given this choice. Actually, most branches are pretty strict about taking people with criminal backgrounds. The jail or military thing might have been true back in the day... but they are way more concerned about image now.

Yeah I don't think the jail or military thing has been an option since Vietnam. I wish it was for more guys, we should make a bunch of people go to the military for $20k a year or go to prison. I'd be perfectly happy with that being a mandatory sentence for say drug users. Maybe it doesn't change them, but at least we are getting something for their time instead of paying for them to sit in a cell.

Same here. Maybe in 60's and 70's but not now. I was in from 200-2004 and did not meet one person. Actually a felon cannot even sign up for the military if I am not mistaken.
