    How many Dependents do you have? Are you trying to go active or reserve? These are all factors that would affect the waiver.

    I believe that with 2 dependents you may only be able to go Reserve, but I will do a little research and double check that for you.

    I have a friend who was denied re-enlistment due to 2 dependents, he's 24, and he's a Marine.

    Check this out, could be the reason why -

    I stand corrected, you are able to enlist Active Duty if you are married with a kid. However it will require a waiver from your Recruiting Station District Office.

    Speak with your Recruiter and start gathering all the required documentation that you will need to submit your waiver. The biggest thing you will have to worry about is how your wife will be able to support herself and your child while you are at Recruit Training since you will not be able to send money home.
