    Can i earn the title?

    Hello Marines. I was wanting to join the Marin Corp and have been to several poo-lee meeting's i have also been in contact over the past months with a recruiter but i made mistakes in the past i need 2 waivers one for a DWI and one for Possession of marijuana i have only smoked marijuana 3 times in my life. Ive put my package together and have several green-weights such as volunteer work and attending church. I have already taken the asvab and scored a 72 i also meet physical requirements. My question is what are the chances of being granted those waivers. I have read and understand the USMC policy on drug abuse and understand and abide by it i just hope previous mistakes don't keep me from joining.

    Thanks for your service to your country and God bless.

    It's Marine Corps, not Marine Corp.
    Since the Marine Corps is beyond meeting their quota for enlistment, it doesn't look good for you with those waivers getting approved. The Marines here have no idea if those waivers will be approved or not.
    The Marine Corps is looking for those that are squeaky clean.....those who don't require any waivers of any type.

    NOTE: If the conviction/adverse adjudication is not listed in the uniform guide list for typical offenses then federal, state, or local laws apply for enlistment purposes.
    Two or more serious offenses require a waiver. Six or more serious offenses are disqualifying, and no waiver is authorized.

    Thank-you-ma'am. Guess there's no way to find out but to find out.

    Correct. Go and personally SEE a recruiter, not call or email. They'll be able to tell you for sure.
