Florida,
Yes, I did have to deal with a character and fitness inquiry. When I applied for the exam I said yes to the "...have you ever been charged.." and attached an explanation but no documentation. Just after passing the test I realized that I faild to disclose a traffic ticket. I immediately sent them a letter with the corresponding addendum. After that it went like this:
1) a week later a got a letter asking for documentation for only one of the tickets
2) I acquired the documentation and sent it in
3) a week and a half later I was asked to submitt my Oath and Data Sheet
Altogether, it took less than a month from passing the test. IMO, the bottom line is that if you are honest, forthcoming, and you truly aren't a bad apple, then everything should be alright.

At the hearings, the board asked her very detailed questions about the arrest. Of course, after 8 years, it was fuzzy - unfortunately, they took the lack of memory as a lack of "candor." It really upset me. My sister is one of the most ambitious and honest people that I know. She actually had forgotten the exact wording of the arresting officer. It really was a one time incident and she had changed since college. She got arrested coming back from a Florida State football game; they were only two blocks from their hotel. I don't approve the behavior, but she really was different from her 21st birthday.
O.K., I apologize for the rant. |

What state was this in? Florida?

Your experience sounds altogether different than mine.

How much time has passed now since you got the letter asking for information/documentation/explanation?

Hey John Simmons, where do you find the published decisions of the C&F committee? I too am curious and wouldn't mind reading some of them. Thanks!
