Yeah just ask Pete Rose
I’ve a friend that worked under me & was hired by Northrop Grumman as a QC Supervisor in El Segundo with a broad security clearance & he’d been convicted in his early 20’s for dui & possession of a controlled substance (coke) & got the job. It had been more than 2 decades, he was honest about it. FBI still asked him about it & I’m sure they researched. So you never know. Hell we had former Nazis in the early space program.
I feel like this thread is missing something… such as a complete first post.
