His problem is that he used to be Law Enforcement, for the past eight years. He got into some mess with another officer and long story short, he took a plea deal on a class one misdemeanor. They put him on a year of probation, and of course this cost him his job. Now he is having no luck finding any job and has a family to support.

He could have fought, he probably would have won, but if he lost it meant a Felony and no chance of ever getting his career back. He took the smart road and accepted their offer, taking a felony off the table.

He's caught in a mess.

First of all ( off topic), good afternoon Chief! I saw the picture of you and the SWMBO and congrats on making it 20 and retiring. I grew up in Woodbury, MN which I believe is pretty close to you. I will post mine up probably later today.

( On topic) That is a very difficult situation and he WILL definitely need a waiver. Waivers are not as easy to come by as they once were. Regardless, he needs to talk to a recruiter. I wish him the best of luck though.

That can be tough but since it isn't a felony then he can most likely get a waiver. The bitch of the situation is that right now recruits with waivers require more paperwork than those without, and since most branches are getting high quality recruits easily and are also about to start cutting back means he is going to have less of a change to get in than others.

However, his years with the police is a plus and could help him out. But only a recruiter can give him the info he really needs. Best of luck to him, the Coast Guard was my second choice.

I've got 6 years, and counting, in the Marines.
