    Service Academy Requirements For A Security Clearance
    Hello everyone,

    I was recently informed that many of the service academies requires a security clearance, which (I believe) gives the government the power to view Juvenile records for misdemeanors. When I was 15, I received Stolen property from one of my friends (It was a 10 dollar BMW hood ornament that he nicked from someones car a couple miles away) I later came to the police after I heard that the police were questioning a lot of the local kids in the neighborhood and returned that hood ornament. My friend (luckily on his part) flew back to the U.S. the following morning because his family were already in a hotel and ready to fly back. The military police however interviewed me, and made me file a report. I was extremely cooperative and basically did the entire case for the police. The originally gave me 50 hours of community service, but I write a letter to the commander of the military garrison, and he subtracted 40 hours, and I only had to do 10.

    -----------

    I'm terrified though. I want to apply to a service academy, the application reads as follows:


    "Include any cases in which the record may have been expunged or sealed, including juvenile records. NOTE: FAILURE TO REPORT ANY SUCH INCIDENT MAY BE GROUNDS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF AN OFFER OR AN APPOINTMENT OR MAY SUBSEQUENTLY RESULT IN DISMISSAL FROM THE ACADEMY. A police record check is required if you are offered an appointment. A complete background investigation will be made if selected as a Midshipman for purposes of granting a Security Clearance.

    Give a complete description of the incident(s). State where and when each incident occurred, the nature of the offense(s) and the date and disposition of the case(s). Your application will not be evaluated unless a complete description of the incident is provided."



    --------------------------------


    Now also take note. I live on a military base OVERSEAS within Europe. Would people have access to background checks on military garrisons overseas? What does it mean to get expunged? Could I get expunged? Im a community leader and currently have a mayoral position, and have done many great things. What should I do? Help?

    The availability of expungement, and the effect of expungement, varies by state.

    Okay sorry for spamming the same type of question. I'm desperate for legal advice of some sort. I thought juvenile records were protected and that no one can see them unless they go to court first. I want to apply to a service academy and through ROTC, but I know for fact they WANT to look at police records and do like a confidential security check. I'm going to try to get this expunged so that it can be deleted.

    You were instructed to identify your state when you started the thread. After you posted, I expressly reminded you that the availability of expungement, and the effect of expungement, varies by state. If you are desperate for this information, do you think you could help us out here by identifying your state?

    I'm an overseas military dependent living in Korea. I turn 18 in three months, and the time I was "cited with the infraction of receiving stolen property" was when I was 15. The only form of law that we have is under the law and order office. They told me that all records within the law and order office are shredded every 3 years; however, they mentioned another record existing in some location in the U.S. (I'm going to find out where, and who exactly has it. Thanks Aaron.

    You were cited by what authority in what state?

    No, not state. A U.S. military base overseas on Korea.

    Be honest about the incident and, if given the opportunity, explain how hard you've worked to reform yourself.

    If it is expunged and deleted, am I still obligated to tell the school directly?

    "Include any cases in which the record may have been expunged or sealed, including juvenile records."

    That's pretty clear, isn't it?
