Let me give a bit of detail, here.
Firstly, I have over a year in college credits (if that has any bearing at all) and I'm enlisting in the Navy Reserves. I scored over a 90 on my ASVAB and more than qualify with my line scores (over 120) for the IS job.
Now the stink of it. Firstly, I have a disorderly conduct on my record (a plea bargain I took since they legally couldn't prosecute me for having a DUI, yet I didn't want to deal with the other 3 charges they were threatening to drop on me at the time) and a second disorderly I got when I was 17, but was expunged before my 18th birthday (in addition to being sealed once I turned 18). I was once dismissed from school for a three month period and sent to rehab for smoking cannabis, an aspect I have not disclosed to any military personnel. In addition, I was once prescribed ADHD meds and anti-depressants, the latter of which was mainly due to my father dying at age 8. This last bit I also failed to disclose, but for your own comfort, I have been off all medications and counseling for over 3 years.
If you can get past that (please no flaming), my understanding is that, basically, my job depends on the needs of the Navy Reserve unit I'm going into. I also understand, Navy being the branch it is, that most jobs are full up and they aren't taking people.
So I guess my question has two parts:
1) Will they find out about my undisclosed past (I'd prefer to hear from people with experience in this field on that)? I've been clean as a whistle since I turned 18 and everyone they could interview on my person would back that up.
2) Will I be able to secure a job in IS given my ASVAB scores and aptitude? Do the fact I scored pretty high on that have any bearing at all or is it just based on the needs of the service?
If there are any further questions about me needed to answer, I'd be happy to reply before you can give me a full answer... I just ask for respectful responses that are backed with some level of knowledge and/or experience.
