Does my boyfriend even have a chance with his GPA?

My boyfriend is currently serving in the USMC as a reservist. He has gone to Iraq last year (and came back safely

) and has been very good in his job in Nuclear Biological Chemical. However, he wants to be an officer in the Navy. He'll be graduating with History degree, with GPA of 2.7-2.9, which isn't too great. He is extremely smart so all the testings I don't worry at all. He probably will get very high scores, like he did when he tested for the Marines. But there is one more thing. He has recently been discharged from bankrupcy, which should be the only bad thing in his record. He's good physically, he will be good in all the testings, he will get extremely good recommendations from professors and his current CWO and everything, but his low GPA and bankrupcy worries me.
Of course we're not just relying on this site and we are waiting for a recruiter to call back to set up an appointment, but does it seem like he has a chance? I think he wants supply, but really it doesn't matter too much in what field.
Thanks!

There is a speed limit when taxing officer?
Who else can make a better officer then someone who has been to war?

Thanks for the replies! How about the bankrupcy?? I know it'll be a negative factor, but is it a big negative factor that'll get him rejected??

I know they do a credit check before you become an officer, but I don't know how important it is.

If the bankruptcy is discharged, it shouldn't prohibit him from being accepted. It won't be a positive aspect, but at least they'll see he was mature enough to handle it appropriately and get it legally closed. Also, as we tell everyone when it comes to odd situations, HAVE LOTS OF DOCUMENTATION. Good luck.

With the whole bankruptcy thing: Someone struggling with money is an easy target for a rich bad guy looking for some information. I believe that this is the main concern.
