What is the name of your state? Washington

Five years ago, as a juvenile, I plead guilty to five misdemeanor charges. Now, I'm trying to enlist in the military, but my juvenile record (even sealed) is still keeping me out. I'm told by my recruiter that the only way I can serve is to have one or more of those charges dropped completely from my record, but despite rumblings that it's been done before, no one has been able to help me figure out how I can do this. If there's anyone out there who can please help me with this, I'd be eternally grateful. Thank you.

Your recruiter and the military might be able to lead you in the right direction.
Have you done your online research? Not like this fourm, but actual reading and such?

YOu already plead guilty to these crimes, sealing a record or expungement won't do it either, not will a pardon. You might contact the prosecuter and see if they can help you but I doubt it. It is time to grow up and get a job in the real world, now you will understand what they told you then about how your actions would follow you the rest of your life.

This kind of online statement is what got you into trouble at your former school. You have also claimed to have gone to law school, please reassess your calling as your advice is not appropriate and disparaging this forum because you don't like the advice you received is inappropriate and a disservice to the posters comming here for help.
