Earned a felony in Iraq 2003, need help finding a company!

I myself was in the army, don't bring it up unless they ask. If they do ask on this specific mission discuss it with them. I think they will understand. My opinion.
If others ask you specific details on your mission from this post. Do they (you) have a need to know?:smt068

 

Army vet here too... I agree raise it if it is brought up only.

Most companies want felonies to be either 7 or 10 years old... you are close.

Try Western Express, I have heard they work with felons.

 

Check your record sometimes that doesn't show it might be considered out side the country

 

I dont think it will shop up, what kind of UCMJ did you receive? I dont see how anyone should have a problem with that. Do you have prior trucking experience?

 

Keep it quiet ! It is not a felony in the sense they look for. this was a military tribunal and most never show on your background due to security. If they ask then by all means tell them. Been there done that !

 

Here is an idea. Apply for your TWIC card, and Hazmat if possible. They will do the background checks on you, if your not a threat they will issue it. Don't say a word about your military. With my military and civilian background I won't travel outside the states. I worked for prime and told them no Canada, and they understood....

 

If I was in charge of hiring someone, that story would cause me to bump you up to number 1 on the hire list. I don't know why you left your post, but dam, you served and was resourceful enough to get out of a jam. I can't hold it against you, now if you did that same crime in the US that would be different, but you were in a war --- It's not for me to judge.

 

Here's a thought. If they do find out, and you never told them, you are liable to be fired for with holding the fact you had a felony. Your Felony is over 7 years. Doubt that would keep you from getting a job.
