I've served 2 of 6 years and I'm 20 years old and I've met all of the conditions except the restitution. Is it possible to get off to join the military?

Hello. You can contact the Birmingham Volunteer Lawyers and ask for their help. Best of luck.
You should speak with the Hawaii unemployment department. Each state has different provisions for unemployment and this information can be obtained from the department. It is not a question requiring the assistance of an attorney.
