My Eligibility for Waivers with the Marine Corps.?
Alright, so onto the table this goes.
I have "Convictions" in my past young, and dumb years. I take full responsibility for these. They were Bad choices in my life without a single doubt, and not a day goes by I wish I could re-play the moment, I can’t.
the first of these is Misdemeanor third class, Harassment. I threw a backpack at my Step-father, this is me when I was an idiot.
The Second, bear with me because this is a long… set of things that got dropped down through the system, I’ve been talking with a recruiter but am not sure if they will all be counted as a Single charge.
Original Charges filed by the DA-
Minor Traffic, Driving without proof of insurance. Misdemeanor Drug parafinilia *I had smoked weed that night*. Felony Aggravated automobile theft..
Now the court disposition, The Felony car theft was my Mom’s vehicle that she’d said I could Drive, albeit without a license. This is my fault and was my immaturity. I took the vehicle went and smoked with some friends got pulled over, and got busted without a driver’s license I have no idea why they didn’t charge me for driving without a license, that likely should have been thrown on too, I won’t argue the point. Now, my Mother appeared with me in court and upon explanation to the DA most of the charges were dropped and what I ended up being slapped with was Misdemeanor Theft, First class 500-1000 Dollars.
this was the low in my life, I did this, I am responsible for it. I’m beginning to discuss with a local recruiter my possibilities for the waiver and explaining myself and what I’ve done. I have motivation to do the things I love and that are important to me, I received my Private Airman certificate earlier this year, I’m starting college this semester, and a College degree is an item I hold to High value. Just as it is to have the Privilige to hold a Diploma, I understand that it’s a Privilige to be called a Marine, and once you earn that privilege I believe nothing can Take it away from you. All my life i’ve deep down wanted three things, but never had the fore-sight and maturity to be able to pursue them with my full intent and belief in them; an education, the privilege to have fought for our country and our way of life, and to make those who’ve had faith in me over the years proud that I didn’t let them down in becoming the person I myself wanted to be all along.
I’m also not sure how much it would be worth, but for moral reference I do have the support of a Retired Lieutenant Colonel who flew for the Marines on a 22 year career, He’s been a large part of my life the past couple years. He’s Trustworthy, Respectable, well Mannered, and Intelligent, and has seen my struggles with myself and my step-father, as well as the level of growth I’ve received from my difficulties in Cleaning up and becoming who I am today, a Much better person than I admittedly was 2 years ago.
in Humility, and regret.

Well if I was in charge I would give you a waiver. Especially if you can get the LC to vouch for you.
