If the answers you're looking for aren't found in these 2 threads, then I suggest you go and talk with a recuiter face-to-face. He/she will be able to give you the most up-to-date info on this.

Also, Marines is always capitalized on this site, and you may want to use some proper sentence structure, like capital letters at beginning of sentences, punctuation marks where needed, and periods at end of sentences.
While it may not be a big deal to you, it is to some of us Marines.

Sigh. I grow weary.

Spelling and grammar, to begin with. Yes, it's important. Yes it matters.

You are going to have a long, uphill, slog that will likely, these days, result in the same answer: Disqualified.

2 felonies, No high school diploma, just one of those would be difficult. Both together? I'm afraid in this economy, with people who have only MINOR issues being turned away, your chances are extremely poor indeed.

Still, go talk to a recruiter. It can't hurt.

Felonies are automatic DQs no H.S diploma and no college automatic DQ. Sounds like youve turned your life around but sadly your past is going to bar you. I say that with 99.999% certainty. Sorry
