Question
I am in the DEP (NAVY),shipping date its may 7th ,and i have my driver license suspended right now, and i didn't knew about it, use to have 2 traffic tickets...I pay them last week but i still must pay 47.50 for the suspension status...i report the tickets and paying evidence to the recruiter...the job that i took was EO equipment operator, and i will like to know if i will get discharged for not reporting the suspension at meps, cause by the time they asked me if i have pending tickets, i said no....Now that i pay already those tickets and I just have to pay the suspension status, but its not reported and time goes running!

Answer
Pay the suspension and then it all should be good. I would still give the receipt to your recruiter...just so that he is not blind sided for the unpaid notice. Also if you pay the money it should lift the suspension. Its all part of the same group of incidents...

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
