Byron, Depending on the details of your discharge - an RE-3Z is eligible for a waiver - ask your local Recruiter for details concerning your exact situation.

John,

Your chances are not very good because you didn’t graduate high school – the Navy only accepts about 5-8% non-high school grads (including those with home school and GED) per year; the military total is capped at 10%, and also, you have two charges that reduce even further your odds.

Eseer,
Having a minimum 21 on the ASVAB does not mean that you are line score eligible for jobs that are currently available for enlistment – I doubt with that score, you will qualify for any currently available jobs.

That said, if I were you, I would ask your Recruiter about this specific program (HLRP) – more specifically, the information on page 1 of Chapter 3, Section 2 of the Recruiting manual.

I’m a green card holder and i scored 21 in the ASVAB and i speak another lagauage beside the English which its my mother language the arabic. i really like to join this program because i meet all the requirements that this program needs but whenever i contact a navy recruiter they say that i am not eligible for it because of the ASVAB score and because im not US citizen, but the website here say something different , so i need a recruiter who has a wide knowledge about this program so we can help each other.

Dan,
With a criminal record, your chances of receiving a commission would be pretty slim unless you are an otherwise very exceptional candidate.

For everyone’s notes:
All charges, even if they are sealed by the court, will show up during your background investigations for the military.

I graduated from college in December and am looking at joining the navy. I was looking at possibly going in as an officer, but last year around May I was convicted for shoplifting a $20 item, I received a suspended imposition of sentence, which means as long as I don’t have any other offenses for 2 years it will never really show up. I know the navy is only concerned with the fact that I was convicted, but would it stop me from going in as an officer?
