    I wouldn’t put my own name on myself, let alone anyone else’s.
    If anyone wants to remember me, take what I’ve taught them and pass it on.
    And the occasional story of the stupid things I did will surely be around long after I’m gone.

    I hear moderator status on Tacomaworld wipes out past transgressions. Truth?

    Not a chance. My chances with the DEA went to zero after they seen my background check. :rofl:

    True story. I was in an interview and the hiring authority just closed my interview packet and just smiled.

    A few minor things on a background check isn’t always a bad thing. It proves you’re willing to do a few things other folks won’t:D The more options you have to complete the job, the better the chances the job gets done.

    You’ve mentioned this before. I am surprised you even got an interview with the kind of record you allude to!
    Depends on the minor things. Some things that are minor to you can be a huge red flag to others.

    This is true.
    The definition of minor can change depending on the circumstances as well.

    It wasn't the going to jail that was the problem. The second time I was being arrested it was by a rather smoking hot officer. I mean she was...damn.
    Anyway I was giving her a hard time and said "after this, would you wanna go out with this sailor on a date?"

    She responded "are you trying to bribe an officer of the law?"

    I responded "ohhhh noooo. I wouldn't do that. Would 20.00 help get those digits?"

    She laughed and that was the end of it until after it was over.

    During FBI background checks, they ask all past coworkers and associates a series of questions. One of those questions is "have you ever tried to bribe an officer of the law?"

    Now there was no record of it other than what someone might say, but plenty of people get walked off the job 3-5 years into your career for not disclosing something like this. I would trust the squids with my life, but never my girlfriend or money. So I was honest about it up front and it disqualified myself.

    Interesting. Good on you for being honest. General rule of thumb for those inquiries is “DO NOT LIE.”

    I am however surprised that such an event DQ’d you. Given your checkered past (common for Sailors), owning up to your drunken stupidity could have gotten you past the background check.

    Like he said, 3-5 years later when someone doesn’t like you anymore, they have a reason to fire you.
    Not only you, but the guy above you that knows, but didn’t tell anyone.
    Now he has to watch his back.

    I’ve literally had a police officer tell me not to tell them anything other than what they needed to know. Once I told said “the wrong thing”, the had do “something about it”. I’ve been serious the whole time I said, “I don’t know anything about it”.

    If I don’t know anything about it, and you don’t know anything about (because I didn’t tell you), then how can anything be done about it? :thumbsup:

    That's a pretty good offense in LE. It was totally a joke and I did get her number a few days later.

    To be honest, I have mad respect for first responders, military, etc. I would not have made a good LEO and glad I found out early.

    Unless…….hear me out.
