    My history/chances

    Hello,
    Question about my chances and any thoughts you might have. I have spent twenty years active duty military and will retire December 05. I have advanced on the enlisted side to Senior Chief (E-8) and then became a Limited Duty Officer. I will retire as an LTjg (O-2). I have a BA in Management.
    I will look for employment in southern California. My negative past history is:
    --1983: At age 16, I worked to deliver food and on Friday nights I would take (steal) my tip money from the till prior to receiving any tips. Throughout the night, tip money would go back into the till. Some nights did not come up even. The total that was ever stolen was less than $60.00 over six months. (I was never caught but will disclose).
    --1984: Two tickets for possession of alcohol as a minor.
    --1984: Ticket for discharging fireworks in city limits. (Fireworks were legal in the state, just not in city limits)
    --1984: One flashing red light violation in which I hit another vehicle. License was suspended two years for not having insurance. (Originally Careless and Imprudent driving was reduced to flashing red light)
    --1991: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Credit now is average, no past dues, homeowner.
    --1992: Ran a stop sign and was ticketed. Paid.

    That’s my issues; I welcome any thoughts on my chances.

    Your issues would only be of a concern if they happened within th epast couple of years. One side note, the bankruptcy is your worst blemish but again , the time heals MOST wounds applies here as well.

    With your military background and otherwise doing well on tests, you will make a fine prospect.

    If you havn't already, start applying NOW.

    The past five years would be what you need to worry about the most until you take the polygraph.

    You have so much time from your last problem I think you can easily demonstrate you've matured and are a better decision maker now.

    Star,
    Why would I have to worry about the polygraph?

    You won't, if you disclose everything. You should have no problems and I agree with Mcsap, you'll be a fine prospect. I took one for the State last fall, No big deal, just tell the truth and then sit there with a blank mind (as much as possible) until the next question.
