It depends on the felony. If you have a rape or manslaughter conviction it can be hard but not impossible. If it's a non-violent felony you probably can get a waiver.
Army depending on how badly they need personnel.
You would have to speak to a recruiter to determine if you were eligible to enlist on a waiver.
The US Army does not seek out criminals, however if they meet the current qualifications on moral screening then yes, the US Army will pursue that Applicant for enlistment, as long as that is what that person wants to do. Also the word criminal is translated differently between each person, to me anyone who breaks the law is deemed a criminal (that includes traffic tickets), to others is might be someone who has been CONVICTED of a Felony Offense.
Army and Marine corp can give 'moral waivers' and allow a person with only 1 felony conviction to enlist. If more than 1 conviction you are SOL for army or marine corp. The air Force and Navy allow waivers for multiple convictions, but waivers are a lot harder to get in these branches of the service.
The person who plays Jeremy Sherwood on Army Wives is Richard Bryant!
The beginning salary a person makes in the army is probably over one-thousand dollars a month. However, of course it is going to depend on what the person is doing in the army.
