I do, but I don't think it is very common. I think the way it works now is that if you are young enough your lawyer might cut a deal for you that says if you join the military you will get a reduced charge or even have the charges dropped.
A friend of mine that was in the Marines from 89-93 said there were a couple of guys he knew who were there so that they could avoid going to jail.
