Prior service contract

[ANH]

I am currently an active duty Marine, I am looking to EAS and go to the Army and try out for the SFAS course. I have already gone through MARSOC A&S and completed the course but was not selected. I would like to enlist into the Army using the prior service contract for 18x. My question is that I recently received a battalion level NJP and that is my only offense on record. Will that affect my ability to go to SFAS as I have heard and researched multiple pages? I currently don't have the ability to go and talk to an Army recruiter. Thank you gentleman for any help.

Not my lane but I can speak generally. With a Field Grade NJP I think a lot of it may ride on the nature of the offense. Did you get a reduction in grade? It may help our SF members assess your chances if you tell us what the NJP was for. But I think even a DUI could present some problems for you. @x SF med or @TLDR20 might give you some insight into this.

The NJP was for article 92 and article 134. One of the punishments was reduction in grade. I said something that was seen as sexist by someone in the vicinity that overheard it.

Mmmm...A 92 never looks good on paper. But hopefully there's a way around this for you. I'll step out and we'll wait to see what our SF guys have to say about it. Good luck to you.

134 is ?
92 is ... icky...but includes "failure to obey" and/or dereliction of duty.

You opened the door by putting this out here, but one could surmise that there is more to the story than what you have disclosed.

Thank you and I appreciate the help.

134 is adultery?

@Ooh-Rah , Article 134 is a catch-all article that covers everything and anything that isn't specifically addressed in other articles. Now I'm outta here.
