I've been doing research into how deep fire departments go into your records (including your medical records) and I'm in a bad position. One website created by a fire chief in California says that if they (the fire department) finds any information that you didn't tell them, it could be grounds for immediate disqualification. On said website, a man talked about how not hiding his criminal record got him major brownie points with the review board and probably earned him his badge and I was considering doing that. However, when I told my father, he reminded me about the military and insisted that I should keep it a secret.
If I keep it secret, they might find out about it and it could shoot down another career dream of mine (I'm trying to find out if being disqualified from one department disqualifies you from all, 'cause if it doesn't then I probably don't have much to worry about). If I tell them and I'm turned down, my father won't let me hear the end of it.
