I know reddit is worse than its ever been and has always been astroturfed but once in a great while I still stare into the abyss and let me tell you… 
The fact that they’re all saying the coast guard too, like is this the new recruiting tactic? sell the one that has less of a murder-y reputation, then when they can’t get into that they just go with whatever they qualify for?
At least the top comment is better
except apparently (per the comments, I don’t think this is 100% strict), if you have self harm scars
Many years ago I was in a unit with a First Sergeant that had a small swastika tattoo on his hand. He had this before he enlisted sometime in the early/mid 90’s. It did not disqualify him from enlistment.
Anything… and I mean, anything, that could disqualify a potential recruit can be “waivered” away if anybody in the process chooses.
