Armed Forces?

Question

Can I still join the Armed Forces with a drug felony?

Answer 1

Most likely, It depends on the branch, the job, and you might need a wavier. There are too many factors to address this, just call a recruiter and tell them that off the bat. They will still get you into their office to talk about it.

Answer 2

Yes, you can, if you are honest and they need your military occupational specialty, but you will never hold a legitimate security clearance with a felony, if it were a misdimeanor (sp) perhaps, but no way with a felony. Unless of course you go into some black ops stuff where they have other ways of seeing what you are really made of, but that would be stuff you would never truly call "the Armed Forces". I don't mean SEALS or anything like that, I mean "off-book" units.

Answer 3

No. Because the Armed Forces do not like the errors when any enlisted persons may able to resist with the problems.

For example: A new team climb a board expect one who cannot reach to the top on time. And they must wait on one to make it, if not, so do with the team AGAIN and AGAIN, beat up (read a story: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070228120633AAYIewU) or go back home.

Answer 4

I don't think so, but there are so many waivers that can be brought forth on your behalf. I just depends on how severe your felony was.


Good Luck!

Answer 5

It depends on if it was before or after your 18th birthday. Ask a recruiter.

Answer 6

For what country?
In the US you can still join if you have been arrested for minor marijuana charges. What did you do exactly?

Answer 7

Probably not.
