Re: The Not So Well Deferred Adjudication
I cannot for the life of me think of how you got into the military with a felony on your record! You may want to have an attorney assist you. It may well be that while the initial offense was filed as a felony, the deferred adjudication reduced it.

Re: The Not So Well Deferred Adjudication
I "have a friend" who had a deferred felony conviction from late 90s in Texas and about 6 years ago got it expunged. If you completed all the conditions, then I believe all you need is a lawyer to fill out some paperwork and do some lawyer magic and they can get it off your record. Send me a PM and I can refer you to "my friend's" lawyer who accomplished this previously.
Re: The Not So Well Deferred Adjudication
It is possible to petition to have the record of a successfully completed deferred disposition sealed after a felony conviction, but for expungement it is necessary to first obtain a pardon.

Re: The Not So Well Deferred Adjudication
Some states have laws that specifically address the issue of felonies and peace officers.
For example in California, any person convicted of a felony (or of a crime in another jurisdiction that would be a felony in California) is prohibited from employment as a California peace officer [
Cal. Govt. Code §1029(a)].
With few exceptions, this prohibition holds even if the conviction was sealed, expunged, or set aside. It may also apply to any convictions that were subsequently reduced to a
misdemeanor occurring on or after January 1, 2004.
Perhaps it would be better to see if the state in question has a similar law. The OP may wish to call that state's Peace Officer Standards and Training agency and inquire as to what state laws address this area.
