Hello everyone. First post here, and I'm sorry that it has to be regarding this.
I'm looking into getting into Metro State in Denver's aviation department and learning to fly. I know another guy in the school and have heard that he is worried about getting clearance to fly because of his MIPs and traffic violations (don't know the details on those).
I have 3 Minor in Possessions (2 in one county, 1 in another). They were from when I was 18 and 19 (I'm now 21). I received a deferred sentence on all of them, and so far one has been dismissed. I was getting a background check for the military and my recruiter said none of them even showed up, so I'm not sure what the deal is, but my other 2 should be dismissed within the month (I was tried for both at once).
My big concern when reading the other posts on this topic were the being detained. Like an idiot teenager, I skipped my court date for the first two. When I got the third one, I was taken to the drunk tank to sober up and then I was held for a day until my $700 bond could be paid. I went to court, got the classes and community service, got my license taken for 3 months, and was on my way.
I worry that, if I do decide that I love this enough to pursue it as a career, that I will have to check the dreaded 'have you ever been arrested, detained or indicted' box and I will be screwed.
Will the MIPs not show up since they have/are being dismissed? My recruiter at the time, as I said, told me none of them even came up on a state background check. And how about the day in jail?
I know it was dumb and I learned from it. I finished everything and haven't had so much as a speeding ticket since (about a year and a half now).
Should I forget this whole deal, or is it possible that this isn't as big as I think it is? Thanks so much.
