Fitzpatrick, 23, graduated from Oxford High School in May 2006, enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps less than a month later and quickly decided to become career military. Marine Corps sergeant was part of a search operation in the western part of Taghaz, Afghanistan, on Oct. According to a summary by the Marine Corps, during that firefight, Hospital Corpsman Third Class (Michael) Wengloski suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm and was pinned down by fire between a berm and a wall. Although he said he was only doing his job, that love of his job led him to heroic action in October, and has earned him recognition. Fitzpatrick led his squad, running into enemy fire in order 15 when automatic rifle and machine gun fire rained down from nearby buildings.Source: Worcester Telegram

My friend joined the marines several years ago and had some personal issues that affected him. He ended up being discharged with 'fraudulent enlistment' and now wants to try again. Is is possible to overcome this and who would he contact?
It is quite possible that your friend can join the army, but you are very vague about what it was fraudulent.
