Lautenburg Amendment question?

So even though I insisted to my choice of service (wont disclose) that I did not fall under the Gun Control Act because the person I assaulted was not a qualifying relationship…they did not believe me and said I could not join because I could not legally carry a firearm.

I went through the MEPS physical, took the asvab, and was suppose to swear in but what I believed to be assault was actually domestic violence ( i told them and was honest with them about being arrested)

Well, I went and applied for a gun permit. The NICS background check came back and they determined I was eligible to carry a fire arm. Can I bring this proof to them and show them that..HEY..I CAN CARRRY a firearm so I’m NOT disqualified??

Felony Gun Control Act Waiver to Join Military?

It has been my boyfriend’s dream to join the Navy or Marines since he was young. He migrated to the US in 2005 when he was 18 years old but just three months later got in trouble with the law. He got caught with 0 dollars in counterfeit money and was charged with 1 count possession of counterfeit money and 2 counts of possession with intent to pass or use 0 in counterfeit money. One charge of intent to pass or use was dropped but the other along with the possession charge wasn’t. In the end, he was given 3 years of probation, 50 hours of community service and asked to pay 0 fine.

When he got arrested, he was already scheduled to take the ASVAB for the Navy. He really did not know that the money was counterfeit, it was given to him by some friends who were also arrested with him but somehow got off and were never charged with anything. He was new to the country, barely spoke the language and didn’t even have the money to get a lawyer.

He was recently released from probation and has tried to speak with recruiters from the Army and Marines, he knows that it’s impossible to join the Navy with a felony but that the Army and Marines might be possible with waivers. However, he has been quite unlucky as no one seems to want to go through the trouble of helping him.

Recently, he found a Marine recruiter who was willing to help but he said my boyfriend first needed to get a waiver of the gun control act which prevents all felons from possessing firearms but he didn’t tell us how that can be done.

If anyone could help us by giving some tips on how to go through with this, it would be great.
