Yes.
It depends on the felony. If you have a rape or manslaughter conviction it can be hard but not impossible. If it's a non-violent felony you probably can get a waiver.
Any felony, any domestic violence conviction (whether a misdemeanor or felony), and similar convictions.
* A felony conviction. * Lack of a high school education. * Insufficient age. * Physical or mental disability.
Army and Marine corp can give 'moral waivers' and allow a person with only 1 felony conviction to enlist. If more than 1 conviction you are SOL for army or marine corp. The air Force and Navy allow waivers for multiple convictions, but waivers are a lot harder to get in these branches of the service.
You will have to contact your military recruiter for the final answer. I suspect that if there is no record of a conviction, you will make it.
ask an army recruiter
A felony does not automatically disqualify you from joining the army.
If it's misdemeanor theft, you might be able to receive a waiver. If it's felony theft, then the answer is almost certainly going to be no.
The short answer is yes. First, be very sure to tell them that you have a felony. Not disclosing it is a crime. Anything that resulted in an "arrest or in charges being filed". Crimes that can keep you out of the army are larceny, assault, rape, drug related and murder. It really depends on what they choose to waive. It is likely they would waive your felony if it was not serious.
A charge, or an actual conviction? If you have a past charge for which you were found not guilty, yes. If the charge is pending, or if you've actually been convicted, then no. Why? Well, in the case of a pending charge, you simply can't enlist with pending criminal charges. In the case of a conviction, what do you handle in the military? Firearms. And what, under federal law, are you not permitted to purchase, possess, or be granted access to with a felony conviction or with a domestic violence conviction, whether it be a misdemeanor or felony? Firearms.
No, they cannot.
You will have to contact your recruiter for this information. Recruiters sometimes have wide latitude in making decisioons such as this. It may depend on how serious the offense actually was, and how long ago it occurred, and you record since then.
