Petty theft is a crime of moral turpitude, and if convicted you can kiss your career aspirations goodbye.

It sounds like this matter is likely to stay a UCMJ matter rather than a civilian prosecution, especially with post exchange being the victim. You really need to stop breaking the law, as it would appear you have probably used up any slack offered by either system of justice.
