We understand your concerns. First, try contacting the court or probation office that your case went through. It sounds like you completed some sort of diversion program. You can request a copy of your record to make sure that there is nothing on it. It likely won’t come up, but every state has its own laws on how these types of “records” are maintained. You can also try looking through the court’s website for any information. Here is a link to each state’s link for public access to court information – just click on your state and then see which counties, courts, etc. have such information available online. Finally, here is another resource that has some information about joining the military with a juvenile record. Best of luck.
