3rd dui conviction while in delayed entry program for USMC, can i still enlist?
I acquired 2 dui's one in '04 and one in '05. Pulled myself together, enlisted in the D.E.P(USMC) in Jan 2009. Made the same problematic decision to drive intoxicated after attending a "going away party" with old friends 2 days before my ship date to Paris Island. I now have 3 dui convictions on my record. The Marine Corps will not even consider me. I've come to terms with my problem and the fact that I will never have the chance to earn the title Marine. I have read that the army is not currently offering the type of wavier in need to enlist, but may someday. A local recruiter confirmed this but due to my current probation nothing solid could be discussed, he had very little information on my type of situation. Recruiter #2 from a different state said I would NEVER gain entrance into the Army. My calls temporally stopped with that response (I understand I'm a "risk") . My question is can I still obtain a waiver for any offense if I have defaulted on a D.E.P contract in the past (I could not ship I was in Jail and had a pending charge) due to a violation involving intoxicated driving? Facts about me: I'm 28, in a court ordered treatment program and learning (about 8 or 9 months to go), I'm a certified fitness trainer by trade, I have a high school diploma but no college, and I am pulling myself out of a hole that I started dredging when I turned 21. I have become a humble man since my last disregard for the law and risk to others. I'm afraid humility is not enough to earn an entrance waiver though. Any answers or even comments?
