You should probably get a lawyer to file the motion for you, but if you can't afford one, you will want to file a Motion to Modify Sentence and simply tell the judge that you are trying to join the military. Include the specific branch, name of recruiter, and a copy of any documentation you have. If you dont have a documentation, get the recruiter to write something up. You can get blank motion forms at the Clerk's office.

If it has been more than 90 days since the entry of pbj, then the court may deny the motion for modification. You may be able to petition for coram nobis.
