Applying with a prior misdemeanor

r/

Hey everyone. Currently applying to a few different departments in Florida. Background is 9 years military LE and a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I was arrested for a Drinking in Public 8 years ago as a junior marine (stereotypical) and haven’t been in any problems ever since. Could this affect me being hired ?

    It could or it could not. There’s guys with prior DUIs that got hired. Be honest and explain. I’m sure you’ll be fine

    Hold on…I want to get this straight… I’m literally shocked and am calling my older brother who just finished his last SDI cycle at Parris Island because I need some verification.

    A …..marine……got…..drunk ?
