COPS ONLY and some civilians apparently,Going for my CJBAT and PAT test

Posted almost 4 years ago I am going to test for a LEO for the Florida Highway Patrol July 29. My only concern is my military history. I was in the Marine Corps for 6 weeks. I got ELS (Entry Level Separation). I didn't get failure to adapt or anything like that. Its really a long story. My recruiter told me that because of the Civil Service Act Form, My family could not be evicted, my car cant be towed and ALL my utility bills would be put on hold until i return. My spouse could even use the wages that i earned in boot. Just take my information to boot and have it directed deposited in my account. My recruiter had severely lied to me and my family.It left my family (girlfriend and my two little girls) without water, electric, and a roof. My car even got towed. I found out that i HAD to use the marine corp recruit bank account. I could not direct deposit my money into my joint account with my spouse. On top of that, I was the only one with a job! So NO money was coming in while i was gone for 2 months. After telling my story to....at least 5 SDI and 3 Capt's. They too could not believe what i was told. They said that he SSAF was for people that get drafted!! One DI ( a Kill Hat) told me to see the mad doc and tell them whatever i could..just get home to your family. So i came up with every story under the sun. Still they would not let me go home and get my family off the streets (well they went from friends house to friends house). They said they had to have a legal reason to send my home. So i told them that " I just cant take it anymore" And BAM! Those were the magic words. I was ELS and sent home in 2 weeks. They did give me a ELS, Uncharacterized discharge, RE-3F re-enlistment code, Fraudulent Enlistment (prior medical history) and Erroneous enlistment and very nasty bus ride home with my war bag and some stamps. To get to the question. Should i or should i not go to Orlando to take the test and risk humiliating myself? This is what i really want to do for the rest of my life. Maybe step up to U.S Marshall or Game Warden. Any information at all would be great. Would i be fine if i just explined what happend to me? Thank you for reading. I was also told that since it was ELS (under180 days) i didnt have to ever list my military journey. Is this true? |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Ummm I am not an officer and i am new to this but i have read up on alot of things because I am Trying to become an officer . But what i have learned so far is to not lie and to be honest . If you want to move up you will be checked out ,, So if i was in your position i would take the test and release all information if you have nothing to hide dont leave anything out. Plus you should have some sort of discharge papers shouldn't you.. explaning the situation? |

| Posted almost 4 years ago I have discharge papers. I couldn't read them until i was on the bus. ( didn't have time) When i finally did read the 80 something page packet. There was nothing in there about my story. I didn't get mad. I mean, do you think the Marine Corp would admit to any blame. NO WAY!!! So the only proof that i have is a very nasty credit report I was just one of those unlucky people you hear on the news about recruiters trying to do anything to enlist recruits and make there quota . |

| Posted almost 4 years ago The whole point of this was to see what would happen when they see Uncharacterized discharge. I know they will ask. I just wanted to know if they would let me explain or would they throw it to the side. I dont know how it got like this........amazing..... Man iam not lying.
but.....yeah.....thats pretty much it.
Thanks once again Fruad elist / prior medical history (had counelsing when i was a young lad.) = enlisting and not leting my recuiter or MEPS know. Let it out during boot when i found out that everyone turned down my CSAF and told me that was for people getting drafted. So i told them the one thing that i knew could get me out. Oddly i got a re-3f code...so the wait time is up, and she is a nurse now. i was thinking about going back. Since i dont have to worry about bills.....anyways. Thanks. You didnt catch anything..... |

Since you are new here this is just a piece of advise for you. When the thread says cops only...LEOs only...That is what it means....Doesn't mean for a civilian to answer the question. In the old days this mistake would get your account suspended. Please don't do it again! |

Coheedisdead: You want a straight answer...yes, that is going to stand against you. Not only because of that slip of paper. But getting hired is a process I doubt you will endure. Most academies aren't a walk in the park either, IF you get hired. I've been through more than one academy and I've seen plenty of washouts. You admit you omitted vital information from the USMC, so that doesn't say much for your veracity. Integrity is something any department will look for. Oh, so you have a DD-214? Considering the description of service is one line long, I wouldn't go barking about that too much. Shock, myself and many others here have considerably longer 214s. I bet you go around wearing a Marine tee-shirt or have a Semper Fi window sticker on your car. Maybe I'm being harsh but seems like you're looking for someone to tell you your choices were alright and it will all be okay. You want to apply to a highly regarded LE agency and you are hoping they won't care about a fraudulent enlistment? Like me, I'm sure they want to know that they will be backed up by someone they can count on. So yes, that might just affect your application to any agency. I pull no punches. If I think someone has a chance, I will tell them so. If they are wasting their time, I tell them. You are wasting your time. Aspire to another line of work. Best of luck in whatever path you choose. |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Regarding public trust and the LEOs character, please allow this civilian leniency in this "COPS ONLY" topic - coheedisdead - Anyone considering law enforcement careers quickly learns LEAs place high ethical standards at the top of the list. LEOs, witnesses for the State, must maintain unsullied character. Your casual admissions of lying to the military offends sworn officers and military here at PL who take their oaths seriously. A red flag. Apparently, you never bothered to get any idea of what the job entails. Another insult. And red flag. You describe enlisting in the military as a simple matter of financial convenience. You casually describe using the discharge process as a convenience. This admission of using the military as a revolving door for personal gain is a slap in the face to the PL community, many of whom have lost friends and family in war! You never bothered to get any idea of this community. Another insult. And red flag. See a pattern? Worse than your oafish opportunism, you lied about your psychological medical record rendering your enlistment fraudulent. You sullied your record foolishly for gain. This appalling combinaton of dishonesty, negligence and opportunism is precisely what the application process seeks to screen out! Yikes! |

| Posted almost 4 years ago Another straight answer...If your credit score is in the toilet, most agencies will not hire you. You are seen as a high risk for corruption, ie. stealing. |
