My Navy recruiter had me write 3 hand written statements about the incident's which all occured in 1998, he said he will give these hand written statements to his chief, and hopefully get a waiver, so I can elist...is there a good or bad chance he will get this waiver approved so I can join??

You're fine! You will be able to enlist but since you have a criminal background this may affect some jobs you might wish to do. Like if you wanted to be an MP(Military Police) for example you might not get that job. Or if you wanted to be in accounting or finance you probably won't get these jobs.

Well...I enlisted into the AirForce 6 1/2 years ago and I went through the same process. I had motor vehicle theft, possession of marijuana, violation of probation on two counts and served 4 months in county jail. Not to mention, I had a few underage charges also. My recruiter did the same thing and they eventually enlisted me. He said he would give the info to his commander, which I think is a bunch of crock. You will get approved to go in the Navy.
The Navy needs people really bad right now. I have been out of the AirForce for about 6 months now because of the high demand, expectations, CRAPPY pay(it may sound good to a young man or woman now, but when you are sacraficing your entire life it isnt a lot), and long deployments overseas(sounds fun, but we are fighting a war in the desert, so where do you go, the hot dry brown stinky sandy desert.)
Do you have any idea what you are signing up for my friend? The recruiters ask you what you like and then tell you they can make it happen for you....CROCK! They have quotas too, and as good of a person he may seem to you, he is not all fact. I mean how would sound when he says you have to work 12-16 hours a day, you work every other weekend, you will not see you family for 6 months at a time, all you will see is water, when you stop at the port you will be on restricted duty and you will probably be doing the work of five men because we are short manned. It's all true buddy. I am very Patriotic to my country and I get a lump in my throat everytime I here the National Anthem. My Father was a POW/MIA for 4 yrs 4 day 17hrs and 4min in Vietnam. My Grandfather was a war hero in WWII. By no means am I telling you not to join. I just want to let you know my expertise and family tradition to show creditbility about this particular subject.
Goodluck in all your endevours my friend and if you do enlist, sign up for the GI Bill. That is what I am using now...by the way, you will not have enough time to go to school while you are in the Navy because you will be too busy probably. Atleast you will have your buddy sleeping a mere 3 feet above your head and another buddy 3 feet below you and 15 others in a hallway size room. Oh...about 95% of the gays in the military join the Navy. Go figure!

extra effective than probably, they're a splash uncertain relating to the way you worded something. the militia is extremely particular approximately how issues are worded (likely for criminal motives). putting "I stole something" somewhat than "i replaced into convicted of a misdemeanor fee" could make particularly some distinction. likely your waiver would be granted however the recruiter will in simple terms verify you have issues worded precisely as they pick it till now it particularly is submitted.

chances are LIKELY his chief will approve the waiver.
my hubby had a dwi which is a mis in 2006....then went to join the Navy...he got it cleared over a month time and the Navy was able to get him in within a month. They made sure he had EVERYTHING cleared through the courts. AS long as you are cleared through the court that is all that matters.

It should be okay, but expect to wait a wile for them to go through. Waivers aren't a priority right now for the Army anyway, not sure about the Navy.

Dude. I so hope you're not in my ship at boot camp.
Unfortunately for me, the chances are good.
