All you need to worry about is that you pass the drug test, and that they can tell you’re not a drunk/pothead/crackhead.

We have big numbers of blue chip recruits coming into the Army because of the economy, you need to place a good year or so of time and have a proven track record that shows you’ve been clean for longer then a month between the time you completed drug rehab and enlisting into the military.

you’ll need a Wavier to be approved by Command, and right now their very hard to come by because of the big numbers coming into the military, and the economy being crappy, they can afford to be very picky.Stay clean and sober, wait for some time and for the economy to improve and try the Marines again at a later time,

You can also try the Marine reserves, each state has different needs and a set of laws, the reserves are different then being active, alot of recruits move into a slot in the guard or reserves and switch over to active.

Good Luck
