I've looked far and wide on the forums for an answer to my question and on the web but cant seem to find an answer suited to the situation.
I have 1 speeding ticket which i got about 4 years ago and completely forgot that i had gotten and 2 violations(one for no proof of insurance and another for an out dated Tag, got both at the same time). All three fines were paid on time.
My problem is i didnt tell my recruiter about any of it during my interview before i went to MEPS. He never asked me about my driving record so i didnt think i needed to say anything about it(i really didnt think it was a big deal). Well the next day i went to meps and got through all my interviews just fine, no one asked me about my driving record except the for my last interview. I think it was the FBI guy b/c he was in a black suit and tie and took my prints, but anyways the only question close to my driving record he asked me was " Do you have any unpaid speeding tickets" to wich i replyed "No"(not even remembering i had a speeding ticket). Well after it all i had about a 2 hour wait in a room by myself watching CNN waiting for my recruiter to pick me up, i was nervous as im sure most are during that day and i started thinking about my interviews and then it hit me, I had a speeding ticket... i got real nervous and as soon as me and my recruiter got into the car i told him about all my 2 fines and if i should of told anyone and that i had a speeding ticket that i had forgotten about. He told me not to worry about it, that it wasnt a big deal and if they foundout and asked me about it to just tell them i had forgotten and that should be it.
I've been reading the forums for a few weeks daily and reading all the old posts, Now im kinda nervous about getting DQ after seeing all the stuff i can be DQ for and the "moment of truth" thing.
My questions are, what should i do in this situation? or should i even worry about it? and should i make my recruiter make some kind of amendment to my paperwork? or would that be like admitting guilt to fradulent enlistment?. I dont think i did anything wrong but i cant help but worry about it and feel nervous. Any help help or comments would are apreciated and may even make me feel better lol.
