Employment with a felony? (Thank you everyone who helped me, I appreciate it very much)

First I would like to thank anyone and everyone who responds to this message. When I was 19 back in 1999 I was arrested for unlawful possesion of drug paraphenalia and possesion of a controlled substance. To make a long story short I was driving with "friends" when I was pulled over for speeding, my "friends" hid their contraband in my car without my knowledge and since it was in my car and they denied owning the above mentioned articles, I was arrested and charged. It has been 10 years since then and now that I know I want to become a firefighter I am afraid that this will keep me from obtaining my dream...so I guess my question is, am I screwed? Should I just try and forget about becoming a fireman? What if I can get this felony expunged? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and God bless

Hey Nick, maybe Scott just never got caught. I'd love to dig through his background and post all the dirt I find right here.
dry no ice
Amen to that!
OK Scott....Cut the crap....Now you are showing the PIG and asshole that you really are....NOW you are making guys who love the job and are proud of it look bad by your acts and words here....Grow up mister......You reflect poorly on yourself and your Department

Amen to that!
LOL, thanks Brian but it's not worth it. Would just cause more drama.
Excellent point, Ben. I never thought about that.
HAHA...You guys are making me wish I didnt have to be at the office by 7
He's not the only one.
How long have you been out of the Navy? Have you passed a criminal background check since then? Was it a federal check, a state check, or just a privately-contracted one?

A security clearance that has expired doesn't really mean much, especialy if you're no longer with the agency that issued it.
Little joint up the road "Lorenzo's"

Say, 5 minutes?


I'm coming from Illinois, I'm gonna be a little late! lol
I'm right down North Ave. I'll pick you up before I head out.
