I didn't intend to have attitude in my post, if it was perceived that way, sorry. It just seems that anytime a question is asked about criminal record someone always posts a link to the recruiting FAQ, and them someone else posts a metaphorical pat on the back and a thumbs up even though it doesn't answer the question. I know it's always better to go in and ask a recruiter but I don't see much point in bothering them just to satisfy curiosity.
It just a question out of curiosity, when I got in I don't think there was a waiting period not that it pertained to me. I had seen it mentioned on here before with no answer. Say it was just something stupid like a DUI, or driving while suspended; everything else on the individual checked out ok, good head on their shoulders, good physical condition. Just a hypothetical situation right.
