Getting into the Navy with DUI or other Moral Waiver

He has to wait for 12 months after the DUI, if he has two or more "issues" he can not join

"c. Pre-Service Behind-The-Wheel Related Offenses. Individuals who have been convicted of an alcohol-related offense must be considered under the guidelines for processing applicants with past civil convictions. In this regard, two or more Behind-The-Wheel (BTW) convictions (such as driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving under the influence (DUI), operating under influence of alcohol (OUIL), driving while alcohol impaired (DWAI), etc.) can be indicative of a serious problem with alcohol. Whenever an applicant is adversely adjudicated for driving while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol, the offense is considered a BTW offense regardless of how the State terms the offense. As an example, a charge of DUI, which is reduced to reckless driving, is still considered a BTW offense if there was evidence presented that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Applicants with a BTW conviction must wait a mandatory period of one year from date of original offense before gained as an accession or affiliation. Applicants with multiple BTW convictions are ineligible for enlistment; however, an exceptionally qualified applicant who has shown evidence of having discontinued his/her abuse of alcohol or illegal drugs may request a waiver from COMNAVCRUITREG provided the person has no more than two BTWs and is not assessed onto active duty or gained as an affiliation until 12 months has elapsed since the date of the most recent BTW offense. The mandatory waiting period is not waiver-able."

Also if he is a senior in high school that means he was underage when he got the DUI, so that also means another waiver or more.

I wouldn't recommend he put all his eggs in one basket, the military is being picker and picker who they take...he can try, but he needs a back up plan.

Emphasis on test scores.

1.  Although the Navy may not have any other foolproof method of determining who will succeed in one rating over another other than a current battery of test administered at various times, we must avoid putting too much emphasis on them as parents, especially if the scores are exceptionally elevated or disappointingly low.
2. An applicant can scores very, very high but if he/she is not suited to be a nuke based on other factors such as interest, motivation, personality, attention-span - then it becomes an uphill battle to make this force this person into the Nuke program. I know a number of sailor who has score high enough to be in the nuke program but chose other ratings.
3. As parents, we need to remember this is THEIR careers - not ours. We must distance ourselves from the awards, oh yes, it's very easy to get full of ourselves because the achievements attained by our off springs - can't help it. But we must try without withdrawing support when our sons/daughters hit a low.
4. Please talk to your recruits - find out what really, really interest him/her.  It may surprise you. Help them be happy human being not just accomplished sailors.
5. If you child makes a decision that does not result in a "high" rating, don't feel disappointed or let down by your child. There will be plenty of people all around doing that for him. Be his/her anchor and safety net - unquestioningly, unequivocally.  We need people of all ratings.

Thank you for all the recruits for wanting to serve our country. Thank you for all the moms and dads for having done a fine job. BQB

Why don't YOU visit any Air Force recruiting office and get as many pamphlets as you can about jobs since this seems to be your son's preference?  It all may be a mote point for either the Air Force or the Navy.

I found these links with a google search (for the Navy). Try it for the Air Force.
