Serving in the Army with a protection order on your record.?

Question

Hi, this question is for my fiancee

He wants to know if he would still be able to serve in the Army even though some girl has a "Protection from Abuse Order" on him with "no finding of abuse" to go along with the protection order.

Thanks in Advance. :)

I would think he would be able to join, provided that the Protection Order was not issued because of a criminal offense.

The Army divides criminal offenses into one of four categories. Applicants with six or more minor traffic offenses (where the fine was $100 or more per offense), or three or more minor non-traffic offenses, or two or more misdemeanors, or one or more felonies, requires a waiver. For detailed information, see our Army Criminal History Information Pages at http://usmilitary.about.com/od/armyjoin/a/criminal.-u59.htm
