I am planning to join the Army as a 96B, Intel Analyst, and will be up for a top secret clearance. A few months ago, I recieved a 3 month deferred judement for a charge of discharging firearms. This misdemeanor was accidental and very minor and was a violation of city code. This was also my first violation. I completed this deferred judgment and the case has been dismissed.
On my SF-86, I have to answer yes to the fact that I was charged for a firearms offense, and I can explain the circumstances.

1. Would sealing the records prevent the Army and clearance people from seeing the records?
2. Will this kind of charge keep me from obtaining the TS clearance?

Any thoughts are much appreciated!
