He enlisted in the military after high school, and didn't make it through boot camp because of this problem. What he says happened was he was owed money by another in camp and so he took one of his checks from his locker and filled it out and cashed it. Dumb thing to do he admits, and now he is paying the price. He decided to be a pilot a few years later, got a 4 year degree and his ratings and CFI'ed a bit and then got a 135 job.
He faxed me a copy of the record and it doesn't say anything about convictions but says "charge: larceny and forgery, administrative discharge in lieu of court martial, no further prosecutory action required.
He's trying to talk himself into it meaning that was no conviction.
Also he says he never signed anything admitting guilt.
Simply, I told him to get a good lawyer who knows military law, but I also told him this is probably going to be hard to remove. Probably impossible!
