Thanks for all the information everyone I will update this post once I get this all figured out with the BON (I have letters of recommendation from my former Commanding Officer, Professors,etc) All I can hope for is the best Worst case scenario, they say no and I go back to the service or fill a government job. I did speak with an attorney and got quoted around 2500 to seal everything. Pricey, but you cant put a price on your career though:up: Thanks Again! Great people here!

Thank you for all the prompt replies, this is good news. I had to disclose everything to the military, upon joining, and had to get a General to sign off on my enlistment. They gave me a chance, and it worked out great and I helped many people in the process, including myself. We'll see what the BON says though!

Hello All, 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. Thanks John
