I had a former Marine as an instrument flight student a few years ago.
He described the process:
Whole bunch of Marines in a large room.
All with tattoos told to leave.
All with ANY kind of arrest record, sealed or not, told to leave.
All who ever imbibed in marijuana told to leave.
etc.
etc.
Those left were spic and span, clean cut, etc.
He was left and served at WH while Obama was there.
