You won't get into any military branch with a felony.

Talking to a recruiter is a good start. Don't lie about anything. If you've ever been arrested or charged with a crime is a question bound to pop up. Be forward about it.

Not necessarily true, but it could hurt your chances. Up to the discretion of the recruiter.

I've had friends be told to lie by their recruiters about injuries among other things. (Which by the way, don't do). A friend of mine who just joined the Navy was arrested for possession of a large amount of marijuana before he went to boot camp. He didn't say anything about it. His recruiter found out and approached him the day before he was due in court and. The recruiter and his superiors talked to the county prosecutor... charges disappeared. I've also know a few individuals with lengthy records as well as gang affiliation.

The decision is entirely up to your recruiter.

Perhaps if you've done whatever the judge in question ordered as reform, and it's been long enough time for the state you live in you can have your felony expunged, citing the reason that you want to join the armed services to serve your country. Air Force sure get nice barracks compared to the other pogues.
