Legal Question in Military Law in New York

Re: Court Martial record

I would need more facts to answer this.

If the question on the application was, "Have you ever been convicted of a crime, excluding minor traffic infractions," the answer appears to be, "yes."

If it is, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony," Special Court-Martial convictions are usually treated as misdemeanors (but it depends on the offense).

Just because there may not be a record does not give you license to deceive and some people do extensive background checks.

Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you have a follow-up question.
