I checked AR 601-210, which is the Recruiting Bible, and I couldnt find anything. The closest thing I found was Ch4 Par 4-24 and it states:
4–24. Nonwaiver medical, moral, and administrative disqualifications
The following are disqualifications that cannot be waived:
a. Intoxicated or under influence of alcohol or drugs at time of application, or at any stage of processing for
enlistment.
b. Having history of psychotic disorders or state of insanity at time of application for enlistment.
c. Questionable moral character.
d. Alcoholism.
e. Drug dependence.
f. Sexual perversion.
g. Homosexual conduct.
(1) Applicants for enlistment will not be asked to reveal their sexual orientation. However, homosexual conduct may
be grounds for barring enlistment. Homosexual conduct is any homosexual act, a statement by the applicant that
demonstrates propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts, or a homosexual marriage or attempted marriage.
(a) An applicant will be rejected for entry if he or she makes a statement that demonstrates that the applicant has a
propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts, unless there is a further finding that the applicant has demonstrated
that he or she does not have a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts. A statement by the applicant that he
or she is a homosexual or bisexual, or words to that effect, creates a rebuttable presumption that the applicant engages
in homosexual acts or has a propensity to do so. However, the applicant shall be advised of this presumption and given
the opportunity under the procedures prescribed below to rebut the presumption by presenting evidence sufficient to
demonstrate that he or she does not engage in homosexual acts and does not have a propensity to do so.
(b) If it is discovered that an applicant or a member of the DEP has engaged in homosexual conduct or attempted to
engage in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act and the information is received from a credible source,
including, but not limited to, police records check or National Agency Check, the applicant will be denied enlistment.
If the circumstances meet the requirements of 4–24g1(a) or (c), then the procedures below will be followed to
determine eligibility.
(c) If the act was a departure from the applicant’s customary behavior, and the act is unlikely to recur because it was
the result of immaturity, intoxication, or coercion, and the behavior was not accomplished by force, coercion, or
intimidation, then the applicant may be processed for enlistment in the same manner as 4–24g(1)(a) in that a written
explanation may be submitted to the approving authority who will determine the conditions under which the act was
committed and whether applicant has a propensity to further engage in such acts.
(2) An applicant may submit a rebuttal to the presumption that he or she will engage in homosexual acts by
presenting written evidence or other material the applicant believes relevant. The applicant is responsible for providing
his or her recruiter such documents/evidence. The recruiter will submit the following documents to the recruiting
battalion commander concerned, in addition to the documents/evidence submitted by the applicant:
(a) A completed DD Form 1966 and SF 86, along with statements or any other documentation the applicant
considers relevant for a decision.
(b) The approval authority in all cases of rebuttals of presumption that the applicant will engage in homosexual acts
is the CG, USAREC and may not be further delegated.
h. History of antisocial behavior.
i. History of frequent or chronic venereal disease.
j. Person unable to present written evidence (official documents) of PS claimed, until such service has been verified.
k. Person whose enlistment is not clearly consistent with interests of national security under AR 601–280.
l. Person retained on AD under AR 601–280 with annotation “not eligible for security clearance or assignment to
sensitive duties, AR 601–280.”
m. Criminal or juvenile court charges filed or pending against them by civil authorities.
Note.
Pending charges include unpaid traffic violations. Authorized reception battalion commanders and IET commanders
may consider that, in certain meritorious cases, unpaid minor traffic tickets that are subsequently paid after entry did
not constitute fraudulent entry. In those limited circumstances, separation processing under AR 635–200, chapter 7, is
not required. All other cases meeting the provisions of fraudulent entry criteria must be processed in accordance with
AR 635–200.
n. Person under civil restraint, such as confinement, parole, or probation.
o. Subject of initial civil court conviction or adverse disposition for more than one serious criminal misconduct
offense.
p. Person with a civil conviction of a serious criminal misconduct with any one of the following:
(1) Three or more offenses (convictions or other adverse dispositions) other than traffic.
(2) Applicants with juvenile serious criminal misconduct offenses who have had no offenses within 5 years of
application for enlistment may be considered for a waiver in meritorious cases without regard to 4–24o.
q. Subject of initial court conviction or other adverse disposition for sale, distribution, or trafficking (including
“intent to”) of cannabis (marijuana), or any other controlled substance.
r. Applicant having history of chronic cannabis (marijuana) use or psychological cannabis dependence (as defined in
AR 40–501).
s. Person with two or more convictions/OAD within the 5 years preceding application for enlistment for driving
while intoxicated, drugged, or impaired.
t. Confirmed positive result for alcohol or drugs (test administered at MEPS) (see para 4–19 for waiver procedures
when retest is authorized and found to be negative).
u. Person with convictions or other adverse dispositions for 5 or more misdemeanors that occurred preceding
application for enlistment.
v. Person convicted of possession or intent to use materials in a manner to make explosive device or bomb to cause
bodily harm or destruction of property.
w. Person who tests positive for any drugs at MEPS and has possession of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia
conviction.
x. Person with conviction/OAD of two or more separate charges of possession of any illegal drugs/drug paraphernalia
within 3 years preceding application for enlistment.
y. Person barred from reenlistment by HQDA and coded RE–4.
z. Person with PS who was in possession of illegal drugs after discharge from any component of the Armed Forces.
aa. Person with PS with two or more convictions/OAD within the 3 years preceding application for enlistment for
driving while intoxicated, drugged, or impaired.
ab. Person with PS and has of two or more conviction/OAD of possession of any illegal drugs/paraphernalia within
3 years preceding application for enlistment.
ac. Person with PS who incurs a serious criminal misconduct conviction during or after military service.
