I have 3 misdemeanors from 1998, for shoplifting(theft under $300), and a D.U.I from 2005, they have all been closed/dismissed.But am still worried that when I go to MEPS and they do a background check, that they will not let me in.

I have heard that they will take what they can get these days.

You'll get in, don't worry. They might have to do a waiver and they'll have you talk to the commander and you'll just explain I was young or whatever and that this won't happen ever again.
You'll be fine!
Great choice! I was in the Navy myself, I loved it, I was a jet engine mechanic. I had friends that have done way worse then what you have mentioned and they got in with flying colors.
Relax =)

Do like JACK said. I had a JUVENILE record (petty theft and disorderly conduct). It has never caused any problem from when I signed up until now.
Be up front with the recruiter.

Check with a recruiter. That kind of background shouldn't be a problem though.

if you dont admit to what youve done or at least explain what has occured it could go worse for you they could pull you out while in training and have you kicked out for fradulent enlistment. Ask your recruiter about that and take his advice on what he says, i had a recruit get pulled out of training on week 9 of USMC training cuz she didnt report something.

Just be honest and disclose everything. Not much else you can do. If you lie, you will surely be rejected; Whereas if you tell the truth, you still have a good chance.

It will only stop you if they were felonies not misdemeanors. In any case you should have already told your recruiter if you did and he didn't object you are quite fine stop sweating the load.

disclose everything. If you don't, it will be found out anyway and you will be discharged with a fruadulent enlistment which will entirely ruin your chances of ever getting back in.

If you do get in by chance, don't steal from your shipmates because if they catch you they will give you a nice blanket party.
