Keep in mind that conspiracy is an agreement to break the law, and the law is broken as soon as the agreement is made regardless of whether the object is ever completed. In Maryland it is a misdemeanor, but in federal court, it is a felony.

You may either make a plea bargain and give up the right to have a jury trial or have the jury trial. If you are convicted by the jury, then the state may seek and the judge may impose the maximum sentence.

In my experience the military services will not take people, who have convictions or even probation before judgement, except for minor traffic offenses, such as payable citations.
