Question
Can i join the navy even though i've been convicted twice of possession of marijuana and also covicted of facilitation to a controlled substance which are both misdemeanors?
Dear Chance --
You might be able to enlist in the Navy with a morality waiver for your misdemeanors. You will have to convince a military board that you have given up drug use and drug dealing, and otherwise be highly qualified for service (high test scores, good physical fitness, good health).
