Thanks so much! Excellent references include your employer, professors, lawyers, probation officer or judge. Once you have collected all your documentation and your application is complete it will be submitted. Then it will be reviewed by either a commander for non-serious offences or the head of recruitment for serious convictions. There is no exact timeline on how long it takes your application to be reviewed as the review process is done on a case by case basis.
The review process also depends on how serious your convictions are and how many other waiver applications are submitted. It will take minor offences such as minor traffic offences less time to be approved than an assault conviction will. As the minor traffic offence will be reviewed by a commander and an assault conviction will be reviewed by the head recruiter or even someone higher in command.
Unfortunately, if your Moral Waiver has not been approved there is no appeal process. As the Marines are not obligated to accept waiver applications. They only do so if they believe there is potential you are a worthy candidate.
This means that if your moral waiver application is denied there is sadly not much you can do afterwards in regards to disputing the decision. Though there is one option that applicants who have been denied a moral waiver in any branch of the military have. That is to check different military branches to see if the decision made on your waiver is only applicable for the branch that made the decision or for all of them.
If it is not you may be able to apply again in a different branch in the military. Having a travel waiver such as a Canadian waiver may be used as additional documentation to use in your moral waiver application. A Canadian waiver shows the Marine recruiters that you have proven you rehabilitated and are considered worthy to visit another country. This means that if you have previously been approved for a Canadian Temporary Residential Permit TRP or Canadian Rehabilitation that it would be a good idea to add this waiver as supporting documentation to your application.
As the ability to be able to travel is an important factor for marine officers. However, it is important to note that having a Canadian Waiver does not guarantee your moral waiver application will be approved. It can increase your chances of success. Many of these factors can increase the chances that an applicant waiver application will be approved as the marines need to be able to recruit around 30, new recruits to function at full capacity.
Though having one felony conviction does not mean that you can become an officer in the Marines, it is up to you, the applicant, to show the recruiters that you are a contributing member of society and will be an asset to the Marines.
According to several men and women who serve in the Marines it is a very rewarding career. It is also a position of great honour. Many officers who have received a waiver have been able to put the past behind them and have had successful careers. If you are eligible it is worth applying as the Marines are currently approving more waivers than in previous years. This is due to the decrease in youth who are interested in joining the marines.
