At least you are honest and up front. Don't get much of that here. It is usually "is my friend" etc.

 

Even people convicted of some of those disqualifying offenses could still possibly go through a waiver process to get it approved even if it automatically gets rejected in the beginning

 

You are fine. Don't worry

 

As long as it was just military ar 15 and not a courts martial then your fine. Ar15 offenses army reported nor can civilians readily without written authorization from you Obtain those records. Therefore whatever reason the OTH was given TSA won't be made aware. Like I said unless you were court martial and or arrested by a civlian authority

 

You should also apply for an upgrade on your discharge. I you have been a good boy since then you can have it upgraded to general and then later on honorable.

Don't do drugs while employed driving. We don't like that.

 

You have nothing to worry about.
