CDL Student with a bad conduct discharge. Any hope? My story with questions?????

Thank you for responding to my post. I haven't been in trouble since and have been told Hazmat wouldn't be a problem because it is a misdemeanor. To the vets responding about choosing to leave this one alone, I encourage you not to. To help someone else who has served with the intent of doing it honorably should not be considered any less of a person. Before my second tour in the middle east I made a mistake, I was 21 years old and i'll regret it for the rest of my life.

 

I agree the instructor will tell us students whatever we want to hear. Just wondering if there is any truth to what he says about only going back 7 years in the background check.

 

Unfortunately yes sir..the "big chicken dinner"

 

Thanks for your post. Its not as if i'm trying to become a truck driver with a medical card to get high on 95. That chapter of my life has been closed for years. Regardless of laws it doesn't make that OK nor does it change the s*it stain on my dd214.

 

@chinatown- Since I am new to the forum I am unable to send a PM. However, Thank you very much for the info. I've put a good amount of things in the plus column since my mistake so hopefully they'll look past it. I still have 3 months of class left, I'll call them tomorrow and inquire about starting the hiring process. Thanks again and I'll let you know how it works out for me!
