Security Clearance and Convictions

[PERSEC]

I've just rang the Security Clearance helpdesk, explained to a very nice lady what the exact problems were, she said 'as long as you are completely honest with us and don't leave anything out at all you should be fine'.

And the Sticky Thread, I did not, apologies.

28 pages of exactly the same situations and associated advice would have saved you a lot of time.

Please tell me that you're not expecting the worst? lol..

It's worth noting that the rehabilitation of offenders act changed in March this year, so some convictions are spent much sooner than previously.

Is it spent now? A brief guide to changes to the ROA - Information Hub by Unlock - Online self-help information for people with convictionsInformation Hub by Unlock – Online self-help information for people with convictions

May or may not have a bearing on SC, but on other stuff where you don't need to list spent convictions (home insurance etc) it can make a big difference.

Good luck!

(Edit: And get your act together - think of the stress you're giving your mother!)

Yes! Very true! Even after losing the Army, girlfriend and hope you always still have your family there for you! Suppose that's something to be very grateful for! But as you say SC advisor said no dramas, I checked your link and read up on it, these convictions will be completely spent in 2 years as of now. SO thanks for the words

Sorry if I'm being thick, but what's the SC for? You don't get SC by joining the military by default.

Oh, just seen your other post and apparently you do now for some bits.

For the Royal Navy/Royal Marines you do.

One last point. My Father is a habitual criminal, with more convictions that I and every body on this thread has fingers and toes (I'm being honest there) he's currently in prison for affray/shop lifting and has burgled houses, armed robbery on post office's, assault, GBH, drink driving, theft, drugs, car seized by customs for massive amounts of cigarettes from Europe, he's on drugs and I have no idea how many convictions he has. It's probably more than 100. Will he stop me getting in the Navy? Although I don't have that much contact with him, if at all any... it's not unusual for a year to go by without talking to him...

I would say that any chance of progression through the ranks would leave you stymied. It sounds as though you have some problems of your own that need to be dealt with? You are either brave or ignorant posting on this forum?
