<p>Bengell1 - to join the military - even to enlist, regardless of which branch you probably will need a conduct waiver. Each branch has their own criteria. some folks are under the false illusion that as long as you are “found innocent” you don’t have to declare your trouble with the law.
In reality, each case is assessed on it’s own merits.<br>
You should be totally upfront with everyone involving your application - your BGO and admissions. You will have to provide all police records - even if they are “sealed”.
If admissions wishes to offer you an appointment they will probably have to seek a conduct waiver from Navy JAG. Your appointment will hinge on this ruling - much like a medical waiver.
It’s all case by case and no one here can give you the odds. Others have had to go this route and succeeded.</p>
<p>BTW - Marcus Curry - I haven’t read anywhere that he was in legal trouble prior to arriving at the Academy. Anyone know if this is actually true? Or is this just speculation?</p>
