Hello everyone-
I first want to thank the administrators for granting me access to the boards. There is a vast wealth of knowledge located on here, and I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to read, listen and learn.
A little about me-
24 yr. old recent college graduate with a B.A. in Criminology. In great physical shape, and want nothing more than to become a part of the TACP community. I understand nothing is handed to you, however I do believe I possess the motivation and determination necessary to excel in this career-field.
I recently spoke with a local recruiter, who after a couple quick questions, determined I was ineligible for enlistment because of a DUI, which occurred roughly 4 yrs ago. He basically said that this charge was disqualifying and I should try another branch. Now I completely understand that recruiting has slowed because of the draw down and sequester, and that the AF can be much more selective on who they accept, however I was hoping that a moral waiver for this could be possible. I completed all court mandated sanctions, as well as having the charge expunged from my record, but the recruiter I spoke with did not seem interested.
I apologize for the long-winded introduction post, however I am determined to make this a reality, and was hoping there might be someone here who can point me in the right direction.
Looking forward to keeping my mouth shut and my ears open.
