Can a lengthy juvenile record although expunged stop me from entering the military?

I AM A NAVY RECRUITER.  WHAT ALL IS GOING ON IN YOUR JUV RECORD? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE THAT YOU MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT?\n\nTHERE ARE WAIVERS AVAILABLE FOR SOME CASES BUT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON (SEE YOUR REC) WE CANT SAY!\n\nHOW OLD ARE YOU? HOW LONG AGO DID THESE THINGS HAPPEN?\nYOU NEED TO BE HONEST WITH YOUR RECRUITER BECAUSE OF A FEW REASONS.\n\n1. IF YOUR RECRUITER IS A GOOD ONE THEY WILL HELP YOU WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES.\n\n2.  DO NOT HIDE ANYTHING BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO MEPS (MILITARY ENLISTMENT PROCESSING STATION) AND YOU GET THROUGH MEDICAL ETC AND SAY OH WAIT I DID DO THIS WHEN I WAS...\nTHEN YOU STOP DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS AND THEY SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND THEY EITHER CAN WORK YOUR CASE OR NOT! SO MY BEST ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE TALK TO YOUR RECRUITER AND SEE WHAT THERE IS OUT THERE FOR YOU? WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU?  JUST BE HONEST YOU DONT WANT TO WAIST THE RECRUITERS TIME OR YOURS! IT'S A LOT OF PAPER WORK TO GET SOMEONE IN THE MILITARY!\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YOU KIDDO!

could depend on the nature of the reckless. Was a car or firearm involved. Security work, body guards, private detective are not ruled out. The rest of the positions rest on the rules of the force you want to join. Is 19 still considered a minor in your state. Most of these records will are sealed at adult hood & won't go against you. Try to find someone  or write directly to the desired department & ask questions\nThe lockout is not as great as most people think\nIt is what you do from then on, education, effort, try getting involved with some community work. Keep your nose clean\nBetter to not even have a traffic ticket until apply

It depends.\n\nIf crimes were committed before the person turned 18 years old, the record could be expunged when the person reaches his/her majority.  This is very common for misdemeanors, and a little less common for felonies.  It depends to some great degree to whether the person was tried as a minor or not.  (In other words, if the person was 17 but was tried as an adult, then the record may not be expunged.)\n\nAnother possibility for a minor is that his/her record could be permanently sealed when she/he turns 18.  This means that the incidents are still recorded, but no one other than the government has access to it (e.g. not employers).\n\nTo the best of my knowledge, criminal records/events after age 18 do not leave your criminal record, although many states have a petition process to have the incident expunged (regardless of your age) if you can demonstrate mitigating reasons (e.g. how long ago the crime was, how minor it was, how you've improved, etc.).\n\nFYI, below is some information on record expungement according to the State of Utah.  It could be that it's similar from state to state.

You don't.\n\nWell, you theoretically can, but under rare circumstances -- you have to either (a) be dead for three years;   or (b) be age 70 and have been clean for 10 years following end of sentence.\n\nArrest records that did not result in a conviction can be expunged and those expungements are commonplace.  But if there's a conviction, 18 Pa. CSA Section 9122(b) provides:\n\n"(b) Generally.--Criminal history record information may be expunged when: \n\n"an individual who is the subject of the information reaches 70 years of age and has been free of arrest or prosecution for ten years following final release from confinement or supervision; or \n"an individual who is the subject of the information has been dead for three years."\n\nNote the use of "may" above.  A judge is not required to sign the expungement order when there is a conviction, but is permitted to if so moved.

Hire a lawyer.\n\nIf your only issue is having your record expunged, you might contact the court that has jurisdiction and talk to the court clerk or district attorney's clerk.\n\nThey cannot give you legal advice, but they may help point you in the right direction.\n\nA petition is little more than a letter to the court making a request. But it must meet the requirements set by statute & the court regarding content.\n\nYou really should talk to a lawyer before you proceed since rules vary not only by state, but by court.

To answer your question:  MAYBE!\n\nDepends on the type of felony, how long ago was it, has it been discharged (no longer on probation, etc) and...depends on the RECRUITER also.\nMy friend's kid just signed up for the Army, he had a "young and dumb" felony, too, but he'd served his time. They made him take 3 "college level classes" (he went to a jr. college for that) before they'd sign him up. He's doing very well now.\n\nGood luck to your friend, and god bless the men and women in our armed forces EVERYWHERE!

Juvenile records are not automatically wiped clean.  You need to apply for expungement, which means they close the files and only let certain people see them, usually for criminal cases.\n\nContact the county were you were convicted and ask about the procedure for expungement.

I may be wrong but I do not think they ask for police certs. It is usual for areas near the US consulates to be surrounded by "Advisors" Ask one of them and let them help you out. It may be a shorter route.   After 17 years without any toher problems, I don't think they will bother oyu too much. \nhere may be a process whereby you may get that record expunged. Try to see what can be done.\n\nGood luck.

Yes it can, My advice would be to contact an Attorney, and the process will move much faster for you. You also might want to go to the clerk of courts and pull your file, which IS public record

As far as I understand an RE-4 just means you are not eligible for re-enlistment. I dont think it bans you from civilian government jobs.

First, provided you're upfront with your recruiter you normally won't get disqualified from joining the Navy for that kind of misdemeanor.  \n\nBut, before you plead guilty, I would encourage you to keep that court date, explain your situation to the judge, and very respectfully ask to be let off with a warning and no conviction.  Explain that you're about to go into the Navy, and you're afraid it might hurt your career...  Who knows-- it can't hurt.  If he says yes, great. If he says no, pay the fine right then and there.\n\nThe conviction won't disqualify you from serving, but you'll get asked about it over and over again, when you're up for re-enlistment, if you need to get a security clearance, etc.  If you can avoid that hassle, do.

First check that it is indeed a blemish on your record. Usually if your 18 or 19 it's a 50/50 chance of it remaining on your record. \n\nIf your certain that this is on your criminal record, try to have the case reopened and have a judge expunged this from your record. (tell him/her your potential endeavor with the military)\n\nTalk with a recruiter, and let them know about this "past instance". The military actually has waivers to overlook some offenses, even felonies.\n\n\nhope that helps.

Depends on what kind of record you have. If you have a felony it will be extremely hard to get it expunged. You will have to file a request and it will have to be approved by a judge.\nCall the prosecutor's office in your county and ask.

Expunged: Go to a Lawyer and ask him if you qualify. Some offences you can not have it done.

Once you are discharged or released from active duty you are no longer subject to the UCMJ.  The UCMJ is the only US body of law that is unlimited in jurisdiction (a [person subject to the UCMJ is subject to it literally anywhere) but limited in duration.\n\nIf you did something while in the military but did not get caught until after you left the service - the matter would be referred to the FBI.

You can contact the court, file papers, go before a judge, and request this.  \nDepending on the arrest type, length of time since sentencing, the positive changes you have made in your life, and how the record is affecting your future capabilities, you just might get it removed.

Six years isn't long enough to prove she's changed her ways. She shouldn't volunteer the information if they don't specifically ask for it.\nYou can't get a criminal record expunged just because you don't like it. You have to have conclusive evidence to prove you weren't guilty of the crime you were convicted of.
