law:dismissed charges

[boosteds13]

I had a run-in with the law about two years ago and got arrested for reckless driving and evade and arrest on my motorcycle. I hired an attorney and the reckless driving charge got dismissed however, I was placed on pre-trial diversion for evade and arrest charge. Greatly, I successfully completed the program and got the case dismissed. In short, I was never convicted guilty. Am I automatically disqualified for BDCP?

thanks

I would take this to an officer recruiter. But probably not disqualified, no.

If you weren't convicted, I wouldn't bring it up. But that's me. My morals are questionable at times.

wrong answer.

Very wrong answer.

Bring it up to your OR, he/she'll decided if it should go on paper or not.

It'll be worse for you later if you decide not to disclose it and they find it anyways. It also might help to get a copy of your own criminal record, see what's really on it, though only use this as a guideline because chances are it could be different than the one the military will be getting during your background check.

agree. I would also get any paperwork you have regarding the dismissal together. I had a charge on my record expunged, and technically no criminal record, but in the words of my OR, "that don't mean shit to the Navy." When I submitted my package, I also had to submit my expungement papers. Just write a nice paragraph explaining how you acted in an immature fashion, learned from the incident, and subsequently changed your behavior.

ha, I had to re-look at the name after I read, for I did think it was you by your avatar in my peripheral vision.

To the subject at hand, let them know whats up. Your OR will be on your side, and even if it is expunged there is still a paper trail somewhere. You should be fine with everything dropped; but if not, nothing time, smooth words and some extra references most likely can't smooth over. + what everyone else said.
