    Can I work for the military with a bad conduct discharge?
    I received a BCD from the Marine corps a couple years back for AWOL, and was wondering if there's anyway I could rejoin. I realized that I made a huge mistake and would like to get that life that I had in the military back? What do you guys think?

    I seriously doubt they would let you re-enlist, jordan. You have a record with them now, Absent Without Official Leave was pretty serious. I believe if it had been during active duty, you would have been court marshalled. Why would they trust you again.
