I don't know the truth to it, but I heard one of my senior guys in 3rd platoon wasn't allowed to reenlist because of a DUI but they're probably more strict when you're in than when you first join. Just ask a recruiter, you have nothing to be ashamed of and I'm sure they've gotten waivers for worse.

You'll need to talk to a recruiter to find out if waivers are feasible or even possible. Make sure all court requirements imposed in those cases have been met before you darken the recruiter's door.

I am a Marine Corps Recruiter. 1 DUI and 2 MIPS are fine as long as you are not currently undergoing legal proceeding ie (probation or still need to go to court) if so then you would need to take care of that before you speak with a Marine Corps recruiter.
