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

I DID NOT POST THAT!!! WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA BLAME ON ME? WAS I THE OTHER GUNMAN ON THE GRASSY NOLE???? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I MAY HAVE A FELONY BUT AT LEAST I KNOW IM A STAND UP GUY AND PROUD OF IT, SOMETHING YOU CAN NOT SAY.
AGREED all the way from Ireland.
Scott, please go away. You have been nothing but unhelpful and degrading. I am pouring out my heart here by telling everyone my dream of becoming a firefighter and even telling everyone something that I am not proud of even though that has never been the man I am. Pleae leave this thread, I can not take it anymore and do not want to say something I will regret. Stay safe and god bless.
Turn it in, I do not care. I received great info from great fireman like Art, Michael, and Paul. You are a disgrace and your attempts to put me down wont work. I will always fight for what I want most, it's called being a man, you should try it.
two wrongs don't make a right, if i was either of you i would walk away, i've never seen crap like this on here befor !!!
yes expunging would help but dont give up start out as a vol. and get a feel for things first take it from exp.
And I thanked you for your opinion OVER AND OVER, yet you keep coming back to tell me I'm not good enough or that I am a liar. What is your problem?? Just please go away now.
Not to digress from this charming and insightful discussion but is it possible for someone to actually gain access to someone else's site and post inappropriate comments? With passwords and such, I didn't think it was possible... and Scott, as much as I love being called a fireman (nostalgia), the accepted terminology is now firefighter... and as far as Scott, he's actually a really nice guy who just is not in the best of moods today... for the love of God, please both of you, stop the bantering and move on.

"It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice..."
I somehow got on your name????? So lets see, I am a felon, a liar, an ahole, and a hacker. Keep digging that knife in Scott.
"you are correct....this is a shame....so i will stop but i hope Nick never gets into any FD..."

WOW! Like I said, thank you to all who have given excellent advice, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Scott, you are a peice of work (and a peice of something else) I hope you are wrong and I get on somewhere, cause i will be the best FF in the world. I wish you the best, Scott. Stay safe
Scott, LOL, I do not have a problem with you! After every insult you slung my way, I was still man enough to thank you for your insight and wished you nothing but the best...feel free to look back at my past comments and see for yourself.
SCOTT! YOU WERE CALLED OUT BY EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL AS ME. YOU SAID YOU WOULD STOP POSTING HERE, SO PLEASE DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU WOULD AND GO NOW. I DONT NEED ANY MORE OF YOUR IMMATURE INSULTS OR ACCUSATIONS. AND FOR THE LAST TIME I DID NOT MAGICALLY SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT (WHILE YOU ARE LOGGED IN, MIGHT I ADD) AND WRITE THAT YOU SUCK LOL WHATEVER. THATS YOUR ISSUE NOT MINE. How did I become a scapegoat for this guys horrible day???? THANKS
