The Marines do not take anyone convicted of a felony. And you must score a 31 on the ASVAB to get accepted and even though that is not very high....if you score a 31 that at least means you can read. The Marines don't actually discriminate against gays, they just ask that they keep it to themselves. Unfortunately that is a way of discrimination but that fact is that when a bunch of men are out in the field together...it would be extremely odd if two gay men were hanging out in their two-man tents making out. Now I am not saying that would ever happen nor would gay men act like that....but unfortunately that is a situation that the Marine Corps can't let happen. But I just wanted to let you know that you are wrong about convicted felons and the illiterate part. But they will accept some one who was arrested for a misdemenor with a waiver.
