no

The above statement is not true. You can enlist in the military, but there are numerous stipulations. You cannot enlist in the Air Force with any felony, but a certain few misdemeanor are permissable, as long as it isn't a drug charge or sex crime. The Navy will take felons, but they are very picky. The suggest that you attend college before you attempt to enlist. The Marine corps will take felons and always have, but I have heard recently that they are picky about certain crimes. The Army also accepts felons, but on specific terms. You must apply for a waiver from a General before you can be sworn in. I also know that you cannot hold a security clearence for any reason, or rise above an NCO. Your best bet would be to talk to a recruiter, although they don't usually have the ability to answer specific questions about the subject. Getting a Governors pardon or having your charges minimized does not change your status with the federal government, ie, they still have your record and you are alwasy a felon in the eyes of the government, but a pardon still looks good.
