    Is this an obstacle I can overcome ?

    Any feedback will be appreciated. Law enforcement is something I’ve been wanting to do since a began college 3 years ago. I have never done any drugs, I have no traffic violations and never been arrested. My problem is a couple of months ago I was terminated from my part-time job that was on campus. The job was called UPSA which stands for University Police Student Assistant. I was fired for poor performance. This included getting caught talking on a shift, arguing with a coworker which resulted in him getting fired not me and having a complaint against me when I was driving the shuttle. I have worked the job for two years. I’ve had 3 other part-time jobs in the past in which I left on good-standings with. My excuse for when this comes up in my background check was that I was overwhelmed with ROTC training, which is a job since they pay me and my school studies. Next year I will graduate with my bachelors degree and a officers commission in the United States Army as a 2nd Lieutenant. I have a 70 % chance at being sent into the National Guard which will enable me to pursue a carrier in Law Enforcement. My question is will ROTC and my officer’s commission compensate for my job termination? And how big of a red flag is this?

    Please don't ask the exact same question in more than one forum here at RP. It is considered extremely rude and bad form. I'm closing this one and you can check the thread in the Ask-A-Cop forum for any more answers you may receive.
