Do a hitch in the military and you will be more mature and have an idea what you want to do with your life. I knew when I graduated from high school I didn't want to stay on the farm. My older brother joined the Air Force in 1951 3 days after we graduated. My mom didn't want two sons going to War. I told her to get uset use to the idea since I would probably be drafted.

Minor infractions they may overlook, but be sure to include it when applying since if they find it you will be discharged.
