I was told that picking an undermanned MOS would increase my chances of being accepted(GED+15 college credits and a moral waiver). Didn't wanna bug my recruiter unless absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance

There is no ENTRY LEVEL mos in high demand.

The only ones I can think of are EOD, and Counter Intel and you have to be at least a Cpl to get either of those.

Gross misdemeanor-conspiracy to commit embezzlement.

Gross misdemeanor-conspiracy to commit embezzlement.

The Marine Corps is very selective these days being that they are beyond their quota, so don't count on getting this waiver approved.

Intel's usually got spots open, but I doubt you'd get Intel with a waiver for that needed. Like Sgt Lep said, Bulk Fuel is probably a good choice, I've never heard of someone saying "I tried to be Bulk Fuel but it was full." Usually it's more like "Bulk Fuel was the only choice left open to me."
