Well, I talked to recruiter the other day. I took a practice test and scored in the high 70's with no studying at all. I think a 50 is required to get in. I thought some of my tattoos would be a problem but I tried on the jacket and he said they're fine. Actually, I seen a female recruiter with tattoos near her hand. He didn't say yes or no to my record but I need to bring him a copy of everything showing that it's taken care of. I don't know why they can't just do a background check on me themselves and decide that way. He said felonies are a no no but you should be ok as long as it's nothing recent and you're not getting arrested over and over.
What military branch are you trying to get into?
The one thing that having a record will do is prevent you from getting a very high security clearance. So you might need to think about that.
