I want to enlist for us navy but i have a felony and i was wondering if i will have a shot in getting a waiver?

Okay so when I was 18 years old(I am 20 now) I used to live by myself in Michigan. I was running out of money so I went to Meijer (almost like Ralphs) and I stole a graphic calculator (lol) and a car ipod wire totaling the amount of more than $300. It was the first time I actually stole something and at the time I was shaking to death. So i got caught because obviously I am not an expert in shoplifting and got in probation for two years.After two years I called my probation officer and they said everything was over and I was clean. I know that the military have access to that record.I have never had a problem with the authorities in my life and I have gotten a few parking tickets and one speeding ticket. I researched the internet about this topic and I am still insecure and scared. Anyone with experience mind telling me if my kind of felony will have a shot for a waiver ?Is my felony that bad?I mean I dont see any problem of my felony in the AF since it is not related to drugs or violence right ? someone please answer me as I am worried to death.
Thank you for taking your time in reading all this.

*Maaaaaybe*

It’s a low-value theft, and a one-time offense, you *might* be able to garner a waiver, depending on the rest of your profile, your test scores, and the needs of the Nav. You’re not going to get a high-security billet, though, if you do manage a waiver!
