It's my cousin. He was convicted of drug trafficking.

Technically it is _possible_ to get a waiver. In practicality - no.
His waiver would have to be signed by a General. And that general will be asking some hard questions - such as: "What is it about this person that is so outstanding that we cannot get another equally-qualified applicant?"
I have not heard of anybody getting a waiver for drug trafficking. (The military is about as anti-drugs as you can get.)

Yes, felons can be waivered, depending on the type and severity of the felony. And I believe that the Army is the only branch to be doing this at the moment.
