    Can I be flagged for employment for past UCMJ?
    I got into trouble back in 1998 because my roommate was money laundering and I didn't say anything. He was dishonorabley discharged and I was given UCMJ and 40-40. That's 40 days punishment and 40 days loss of pay and kept my rank. I finished my contract and was Honorably dischared in 2002. So I worked a bank and did the whole finger print thing and passed. I applied for another bank and was told I can't work for them because of my background from what happened back in 1998. Can civilians see that? How can one bank not see that and another see that? I thought it would be closed afterwards. Thanks for any help.

    Not all companies use the same back ground search firms, and of course they can see this criminal charge if they use the right search companies.

    One background check was more thorough than the other.

    Did anyone tell you that your record would be sealed?

    Yes I was told it wouldn't effect me as a civilian. I don't understand the bank said I am a convicted felon?

    My feeling is it isn't about the discharge, and that the problem is with the "punishment."

    If you've been denied employment based on a background check ask to see the results of the check. I've see people denied employment because of credit issues which were not the issues of the person applying but were, in fact, an error.

    They said I would get something in the mail. I live in FL and they can deny employment or fire you for no reason, so I have no chance in trying to fight it. Thanks for the info Judy.

    I wouldn't make any decisions until you get the paperwork. It could be wrong.
