Joining army reserve officer questions.

Hello everyone,

i'm new to this forum and i have a few questions regarding the process the joining the AMEDD as an reserve officer. I met with a recruiter briefly on Friday (he'll be out of the office for all next week) and till i see him next i was hoping that someone here can shade some light. I'm planning to join AMEDD as a 70B, Health care admin, (the only position in AMEDD which does not require a medical expertise) i'm 29, have an MBA and otherwise qualified. The only issue is that i will need a moral waiver for an arrest (no conviction and arrest expunged) of shoplifting 10 years ago. How does it work, someone applies for a waiver upfront, and then after it's approved you submit the application package, OR it is included with the application package all together and hope for the best?
If someone went through this experience or knows how it is done please share the process or the odds of being selected. I was told that for my particular job, the competition is strong, 10 candidates for 1 slot, so i'm kinda having second slots of even going through the process and waisting my and recruiters time.
Anyway, we'll talk later, thanks.
