That is a misdemeanor that could end with you having a permanent criminal record. It is unlikely that will receive any jail time if this is a first offense. You need an attorney.

Are you currently in contact with a recruiter for the Navy? If so, you should notify them of this because they will find it anyway. This will likely be a disqualifying event but you would need to discuss it with the recruiter. While a waiver is possible, it is unlikely at this time as the armed forces are still operating under a philosophy of lean budgets and staffing. If you are a highly desired candidate for whatever reason (intelligence, physical ability, aptitude for some difficult to fill field), that might save your bacon.
I have never been in any legal trouble and it was less than half a gram. *facepalm* I've taken my asvab and qualified, I just want to be in my daughters life the first year so she remembers that I'm her daddy. She's everything to me.

I've NEVER been in any legal trouble, and hope this doesn't stay on my record. I'm trying to find my own place, so don't really have the money for an attorney. I know getting a lawyer can be very expensive.
