First let me apologize if you got this same thread many times. I thought my situation might be unique.
Back in 2001 I was very young, hung out with the wrong crowd and got charged with many things (all misdemeanors)
The charges were drag racing, graffiti, possession of marijuana, violation of a restraining order and indecent assault.
(with the last two charges I had a crazy girlfriend that was intent on crucifying me and I showed the judge proof of that, and that the charges were falsified)
Well I was never convicted of anything due to agreeing to a pretrial probation for everything.All charges were dismissed afterwards. I served it fine and moved on.
I then enlisted in the military for 8 years and got an honorable discharge and am a decorated combat veteran. I am currently going to school and want to become a nurse.
Will all of this behavior prior to the military affect me when it comes to the board? I plan on ordering my own FDLE check to see if that old stuff even shows up due to it being out of state. I have heard that it will and wont show up due to no convictions..i wont know until i receive it.
I have really changed my life around in the 8 years in the military and have helped save lives in Iraq (was a combat lifesaver-kind of like a short trained medic) from applying pressure dressings to tourniquets, and wanted to continue to help people after my service to my country. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am going to apply in floridaif that helps.
