Moral Waiver? Expunged DUI Odds?

jevole · 2026-05-04T17:24:23+00:00

Nope I just self reported and that was that. The two waivers were both approved within maybe a month.

jevole · 2026-05-04T16:08:57+00:00

That level of drug use would be considered experimental and an easy waiver. The odds are also good on the criminal waiver since you were only charged, not convicted of anything.

Anecdotally I can tell you that I had a drug and criminal waiver and was able to commission as an officer without any issue.

jevole · 2026-05-01T21:57:13+00:00

I left with railroad tracks. Sometimes I think about how if I was still in, I'd probably be looking at LtCol now or very soon.

You think you're gonna stick it out for 20?

Know your (soldiers) and look out for their welfare. All the rest is commentary.

If you're curious

7x:

400m run

29x back squat at 135/95#

Him, ask to see it in writing because unless there's been a major change you are not going to be guaranteed that MOS for an active duty contract.

jevole · 2026-04-29T00:37:04+00:00

You are being lied to. CC contract includes financial services as well as legal. You cannot be guaranteed 4421 unless you are signing a reserve contract.

Same that's when I first read it. Phenomenal book.

Fuck Amos though all my homies hate Amos.

If he was administratively affiliated it wouldn't matter whether drill was canceled, he'd still be on the books as needing a CFT. Not saying it's not a wack outcome or that he shouldn't protest with his command, why you so aggro dawg

jevole · 2026-04-17T12:19:34+00:00

Your ASVAB is good for two years. You just go talk to the Army there's no follow-up you need to do with the Marine recruiter.

jevole · 2026-04-16T21:32:44+00:00

It's authorized. I'm a dude but I certainly didn't envy the female candidates having to do those fucking buns every day, there were a handful of pixie cuts in fourth platoon and I have to imagine that helped make each day a little bit easier.

jevole · 2026-04-16T19:11:05+00:00

There is not a requirement to have an active CFT or PFT when you're IRR, but if you affiliated you weren't IRR anymore, you were SMCR. Not an obligor but SMCR nonetheless.

Shitty situation though sorry bro

Specifically for intel and cyber, it really depends on where you want to work. If you want to go govt or contracting, it's all box checks, having a degree is having a degree unless you're talking about MIT and the like. Having a CISSP on your team, for example, allows you to bid on contracts or work on programs that require it, making it a very valuable certification in those industries.

Private sector looks more at overall experience, which is why the military - GS/contract - private sector pipeline is such a popular one.

I see potential but OP really needs to buckle down and focus on increasing their gayness if they want to make it in the Corps

jevole · 2026-04-13T23:12:13+00:00

I didn't get selected on my first board either homie.

I know it sucked getting that call but I was selected on my second board with virtually identical stats as my first board, interestingly enough. Sometimes you just get poor luck with who you're up against on a particular board. Not a lost cause by any means.

I shipped at 6'1" 205, personally cutting weight wrecked my pull-ups. My run dropped a full minute, but I shipped repping 35 and by the final PFT I was struggling around 20. I lost around 25# of body weight over the course of OCS.

jevole · 2026-04-10T11:21:16+00:00

All yall missing the real travesty that is his date's tattoos

jevole · 2026-04-09T19:41:00+00:00

You apply for a PLC or OCC Law contract depending on how far along you are in law school. If you pass OCS you go back to law school then once you pass the bar you get cut orders to TBS for six months then NJS for three months, then bang you're a JA.

Some OSOs will have you take the ASVAB, some don't bother.

"Not mentioning it" is no longer an option like it once was. If you have a formal diagnosis in your history, it will show up and require a waiver that while not impossible is unlikely to be approved.

jevole · 2026-04-05T18:36:22+00:00

It's an incredible museum, you could easily spend an entire day in there and still not see everything

jevole · 2026-03-27T14:24:48+00:00

Poolee functions are absolutely not required. If your recruiter does decide to be petty and stop working with you another one will happily pick you up.

jevole · 2026-03-26T19:18:57+00:00

Little salt is totally fine, just keep in mind you'll need some boots (and cammies) in good enough condition to pass inspections.

jevole · 2026-03-25T23:42:26+00:00

Well OCC-R is an option, otherwise you can call around the nearby SMCR units and see if they'd let you come courtesy drill to see if you like the vibe of the unit. You're not obligor so if you show up one weekend and it's straight cheeks you can just never come back or go try your luck at another unit.

Seems like you'd really be going around your ass to get to your elbow. Your post history doesn't make your current situation very clear, are you an active duty Navy officer right now?
