Decided to submit my Warrant Packet for 920B, has anybody had any experience with Moral Waivers for this process?

I need to submit a Moral Waiver for 2 misdemeanors (1 juvenile and 1 Adult), nervous about putting all the work on the packet just to get the waiver denied.  Have not been in trouble since joining the Army, and the misdemeanors happened 8 and 13 years ago.  Very curious to see how many other applicants have gone through this same process.

I didn't know juvenile convictions could even be viewed, as I thought that any waivers needed for them was done when you enlisted and you should be already covered for those. Now for the Adult convictions did they occur prior to enlisted or since that will determine how long the process will be or if it will be worth the effort as well, because if it happened while you were in, you had to get a moral waiver to re-enlist so again you would be covered. You should be but without knowing full details would be hard to give proper guidance on the issue.

Every one is supposed to be case by case basis, so what someone else went through may not apply or even be relevant in your case either.

This process allows Soldiers to apply, with a very limited amount of paperwork, for Moral Wavier approval. If disapproved, the Soldier will be notified and the application process will be ended. If the Moral Waiver request is approved, the Soldier will then be responsible to complete a normal application packet and include a copy of the moral waiver approval memorandum. It will be placed in the same position the moral waiver request memorandum would have been according to the WO Application Checklist.

The entire packet must be submitted within 180 days of the approval of the Moral Waiver.

I would be curious if you'd need to submit a morale waiver if you received a waiver upon enlistment...either way, go to the page linked about and submit the waiver.

Another guy on here just asked something very similar in a separate thread...I hadn't seen yours till just now, search for moral waivers under discussions, you should see it, he was trying for something extremely similar to what you'd wanted, I sent him a whole slew of stuff with a quite detailed explanation, to save time, find his thread, and look at all I sent him, if yu wanna chat more, I'm here, OK? Honest trust me, and do the search, you should find it relatively easilyz it was quite recent, honest....

Check the discussion search for moral waiver or moral waivers, then scroll down, try it both ways, you should see the other thread, as I'd said, I'll try to see if it's visible, it should be....
