Join by bribe or luck (note:bribing government officials is a felony itself, if you choose to lie or bribe, its all on you)

Locate a recruitment office in your area. Contact the office and make an appointment to speak with a recruiting officer.

2

Inform the recruiting officer about your felony conviction. Provide a detailed explanation of when and why you committed the crime and your age at the time of the conviction. All criminal records, including those of juvenile offenses, are available to the military, so do not try to hide any information from the recruiting officer.

3

Ask the officer if the military can grant you a felony waiver. If the officer believes a waiver is possible, he will attempt to obtain one for you.

4

Complete the rest of the application process. The recruiting officer will contact you to let you know the status of your waiver. It may take several weeks or months to get a decision on your waiver.

5

Contact a different recruiting officer if the first one believes a waiver is not possible. The recruiting process is subjective, so you may have more luck with a different officer.
