Greetings, I am considering applying for LE locally in TN. In 2019 I was arrested for Agg Assault, when while blackout drunk I recklessly attacked our Uber driver after I perceived he slighted my then fiancé. I also applied to the Guard recently, and within that application disclosed the arrest, which after a Pre Trial Intervention, I was fortunate to have dismissed and expunged (firearms purchase and ownership therefore okay now). I say this to demonstrate that I am the type of person who will always tell the truth during these processes. The Guard is currently in a holding pattern for waivers both related to the above, and medical-related items. I wanted the team here’s take on the scenario. The initial application just asks about “felony convictions”, to which I accurately and honestly answered “No”. However, will this arrest come up in later BI, and therefore likely bar me from acceptance? As a follow up question, therefore, would it even be advisable to apply at all? I just don’t want to waste the department’s time either; want to be fair to everyone including myself. Thank you in advance and thank you for your service V/R, Brian |

Blackout Drunk AGG Assault OP…..you have exhibited behaviors that you need to address to ensure a long, productive, and happy life. LE and SF is all about controlling a chaotic situation and restoring order. Self control, discipline, and maturity are must haves. Ask yourself, do you have these traits? 18Z50…. |

I appreciate it sir, I haven’t drank since 2018 and have started a family, church group avid member, etc. I completely understand and am on board with why the process is the way it is and accept it. Just wanted to confirm with you here to make sure. Appreciate it guys, again thank you for your service. Brian |
