    As long as you are upfront about it, when you do the fingerprint/background check they will ask you about anything they may find when they look it up, just tell the person about it and they will document it and go from there, I highly doubt it will be a problem.

    Assault charge? Not a conviction? No problem. Conviction? Who knows. Probably not if it's been a awhile.

    The excluding criteria only lists "Assault with intent to murder".
    So that begs the question... Well, did you intend to kill him/her??

    Seriously, simple assault charge should not disqualify you.
    Out of curiosity, was it deemed a felony assault? or misdemeanor?
