Recent felony and has cdl class A already

The passage of time helps a lot. The average person just wants to see a history of learning from past mistakes and for the person to walk the straight and narrow. To that end, people can be very forgiving. I won't list the things I will not forgive, but I generally won't hold a mistake made in youth against someone today 30 or more years later. My first NCOIC (Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge)I served under once I got to my first duty station was a convicted felon. He actually shot a man near New York City in the 50s and went on to be in and out of juvenile facilities and then later as an adult. A NY judge gave him an option the service or Prison. He chose the service and enlisted in the Air Force. I served under this man for almost 18 months until he retired in 1977. One of the finest men I have had the pleasure to have known and I when I discovered he died in the late 90s I cried. People can change, but ALL of us are prisoners to our past!

 

Very well said sir.

 

The part that always amazes me about these “forums” is if people haven’t shared the same experience or had a different outcome, you are a liar, a moron etc. so much for adult conversation....
