I'm not asking for any specific answers, as I understand that none can be given, and I have already been indicated whom to talk to. However reading this thread has embedded more doubt in my mind about a decision I hope to make relatively soon, and unlike finding the resolve to run that extra mile, this one is somewhat out of my hands.

Have you read AR 40-501, as directed in the stickies?
Best you can do is to read, search, visit the recruiter and MEPS, tell the truth, and request the waivers.
I would guess the answer will be no, but so many other standards are being waived, who knows these days.
