Can't join the coast guard? What else could I join?

I'm really upset over the fact that I just got off the phone with a recruiter from the coast guard who said that because i have a misdemeanor on my background from 5 years ago, and the fact i was counseled when i WAS 16 for marijuana use I more than likely won't be able to join the coast guard. Is there ANYTHING i can do to join...i REALLY WANT TO!! (

the Coast Guard is the LEAST lenient with any legal issues as their entire focus is on enforcing maritime Law. They are taking a grand whopping 4,000 new sailors PERIOD from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008. there will be, at minimum, twice that trying to get in.

Army will probably take you. Navy..MAYBE. AF and Marines, probably not.

Go Army. It is far easier to get into with a criminal background than any other branch. There are 200 jobs in the Army to choose from. So there may be a similar job that you were looking at in the Coast Gaurd. The Army also has better benefits. Check it out.

The coast guard is the STRICKTEST of all services... A HISTORY of pot and misdemeanors should not prevent you from Joining any of the other branches...

Army A 1/9 7th Infantry Light Division veteran and PROUD of it!!!

PS. Listen to answer #1... there is always hope and exeptions are made... but if you find they really won't take you... the Army and Air force are cool... (I have been both. I am sure the Navy and Marines are cool too... but I haven't been in those to vouch for them...).
