While there are waivers in the military for just about anything, in general, no. The reason is that for virtually all except the most menial jobs in the Navy, you're required to have at least a Confidential or Secret clearance; for SEAL's and other front-line units, it's typically Top Secret and above. Having a felony conviction on your record would disqualify you from any job requiring a security clearance, and these days there just aren't that many.

Nobody cab "join" the merchant marine (not merchant marines) as there is no such organization to join, now if you meant to ask "can a convicted felon get a merchant mariners credential so that they may be employed on a merchant ship?" It would depend on the felony and how long ago it was committed, I would suggest going to the USCG website and reading the requirements, then go to the TSA website and reading the requirements for a TWIC
