Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was charged with Possession of Cannabis under 20 grams Misdemeanor in the state of Florida in Spring of 2006. It was my first charge and I was able to qualify for a Pre-Trial Intervention program. I completed the 6 months probation and rehabilitation and the terms of my PTI were met.

Does this mean that the charges were dropped, so there for, the arrest is not on my record at all?

If not, should I proceed and get the incident expunged?

Just want to know what may come up on a background check, and if a waiver is needed to enlist in the military.

Thank you

Yes it will show up. You need to contact a lawyer right away to get this sealed or expunged.
