When they actually get around to picking up your file and doing your name check, it takes only seconds to return pages upon pages of your most personal information. Your name is ran through several databases.

Now when you say possession of marijuana...several facts will affect you. the primary concern is the weight.

1. How much marijuana? MJ possession can vary between a minor administrative code violation, to higher felony charge.

2. Who busted/ adjudicated you? The Military? Civil Law enforcement? UCMJ conviction is different than a civil conviction. Usually UCMJ records will not come up in a routine FBI name check, they'd have to be looking for it to find it.

In the end, if you had a small bag of weed...welcome to America lol. It's nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't worry about that. So apparently you were arrested for it but not prosecuted. Definitely not convicted of anything. This is really nothing.

Whe you go to an ordinary FBI name check and nothing raises their concern, it stops there with no further checks. If something like a felony comes up, the they keep digging in other databases.

And how do you know your mj arrest was even an arrest? Did they tell you that you were under arrest? And if your were arrested, what's the disposition? Decline prosecution? And how do you know anything was entered in any other databases?
