What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania.
Heres the story.... I signed my army reserve delayed entry papers in november of 1999 at the age of 17. I was only a junior in highschool so had to go to basic training in the summer of 2000. I attended it and all was well. I then had to go back to school to finish 12th grade and get my diploma. I was suppossed to attend drill one weekend a month while still in school. I ended up not going to a single drill, mainly bc my parents didnt care if i went or not, so i basically (not using my crappy upbringing as an excuse) didnt really care that i didnt go. Well before my senior year started, i was scheduled to return to AIT almost immediatly after i graduated. long story short, i didnt go. Dont recall the reason i didnt, but i didnt. The strange and astonishing part to me now is that i dont recall ever being contacted by anyone about my failure to report to drills or AIT for that matter. Its almost as if i never existed. Anyway, ive read some other posts and came to the conclusion i may have a warrent out on me by the government. Hears where it gets weird though. Ive been wrongly accused and arrested on a very serious charge, went through a trial by jury and was found not guilty on all the charges i was charged with. Ive also been pulled over 2 times, and have had two basic background checks done on me. I was even audited by the IRS once. Through all that i have not even came close to hearing my name and being AWOL in the same sentence. After 13 years i pretty much spent 11 of them without the thought of this in my mind. I recently decided after 8 years at my current job that it was time i look elsewhere for employment. I have a few freinds who work in a federal prison who claim they can have a good influence in getting me hired. So my real question is, should i even put on the app that i was even involved in the military? Should i just turn myself into an army unit and put this to rest for good? I mean 13 years is a long time. In retrospect i probably should have gone through with it, but i do not have any regrets that i never went back. I am not a coward and will do what it takes to resolve this, if there is even anything to resolve. Basically i was young and dumb with no guidence in life. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
