I think I'm leaning towards joining whether or not this criminal charge goes through. The recruiter said it shouldn't be hard to waiver if I do.
If I were to join, I'd love to do something like RECON or MARSOC. I know my PFT's are high enough and my ASVAB will be too, but of course there are many other factors.
you will not be able to go Recon with a misdemeanor conviction on your record, let alone a felony. You will need a minimum of a TS clearance to go into Recon and you will not be able to obtain that with nearly any conviction on your record - especially any conviction as recent as this one that you are up against..
I don't have a felony?
I thought it was Secret not TS.

but thank you that is the kind of informed post I am looking for.
I still have some time to figure it out, I have to finish this next semester before I can make any decisions anyway and my court date has been pushed back to the middle of January because I hired a lawyer and he is hopefully working his magic.
I heard it is a lot harder for Marines to attend school while enlisted than any other of the branches, any truth to that?
I'm heading to Seattle for Winter break, I think I'll try to talk to a Marines recruiter when I'm there 12/23-01/02. (If any offices are even open)
Thanks again guys.
This. It doesn't matter if you go Marines or Army, enlist as an Infantryman (0311 for Marines, 11B for Army). If you want to be Recon in the Marines you'll need to make it through 2 out of the 3 phases of the Armys Ranger School. Good luck
