Vinny 0 Posted April 15, 2017 They only charged you with infraction? Not a misdemeanor or felony? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyking89 0 Posted April 15, 2017 Marijuana is federally illegal, What was the charge on your record? Yes it could affect you because things such as acts that show " bad moral character " fall under DUI's, Drug possessions, firearms, violence etc. Those could of barred you from qualifying in the past, however it may be worse now with the new memos. You will know once they tell you if you qualify or not. It all depends on when they do their background check and if your citation will even show up. You really need to speak to a lawyer to see how this can affect you. It might not even be an issue since you stated its just a citation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
