How can I get a foot in the door? I live roughly 35min north of D.C. I make great money but I want to do something different in life. Even with a very high ASVAB score and a clean bill of health none of the branches would take me because I’m a “Expunged Felon” many recruiters tried to get work me in. Obviously if cleared MEPs. However because I was truthful with my situation, and no one could get any paperwork on it, I wasn’t allowed to join. No CO would sign off on a waiver based off a charge on my word alone that they couldn’t get any documentation proving what I said was true. Courts, police, states bureau of investigations etc all didn’t I didn’t want to lie because I knew if I joined the military it would come up eventually and I didn’t want to get stripped and sent to Leavenworth.
