That's correct, you can't join while you're still on probabtion.

Yes they will say something about it. Self mutilation (cutting) is a DQ. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge than me will be able to tell you if it's possible to get a waiver.
the self mutilation is the largest and most difficult hurdle. it is a PDQ with no waivers authorized. once you are off probation,everything else is waverable( no promises that they WILL be, of course.
you should be aware that getting off probation JUST to enlist is a DQ as well.
in other words..you can ask the judge to let you off early cuz you've been a good boy. you can't ask him to let you off early so you can enlist.

MEPS will definately catch this and PDQ you. You more than likely had some sort of medical care for this as well. The probation is the least of your worries. You would be wasting money on the lawyer. CPO Kalbach
