If you were convicted of a VIOLENT crime, then No. But if you are on parole for a NON Violent crime, then maybe. You just need to go to a recruiter and ask.

I thought all Merchant Marines were parolees.

It depends on the hiring policies of the company that owns the ship.
There is no service known as the 'merchant marines.' This is just a term that refers to sailors on commercial ships.

There is no specific law that prohibit's the felonist from becoming a sailor. But I am not sure your parole guidelines would asllow you to be all over the map like that.
