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.
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
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.
