i had a court date for playing with firework, never arrested though, i told the judge i wanted to go into the military and be a pilot.
he said stay outta trouble for 6 months and it will disapear. never put it on an application, so far it hasnt surfaced in any background checks for 2 airline jobs, or if it was the employer figured it was so stupid that every red blooded american LOVES FIREWORKS SO WHO CARES!

Well the shorter and the longer end of the stick.... And how I'd put it in an interview... I had a theift by taking which was expunged... Wrong place wrong people type deal... I take responsiblity for being with the wrong crowd and in the end the charges were expunged..... The second one was a little bit more stupid... with the Fraternity... visiting my previous school I attended... just again wrong place wrong time... but this time it was my fault I was not supposed to be on campus... lapse of judgment made me think running was a better idea than letting them escort me off campus so long story short got the Trespassing and Resisting w/o Violences..... Yeah... I'm a dumbass..... usually comes with the company I used to be around.
I've yet to put any the expunged stuff on record w/ my apps... however, I have been fessing up to the Fraternity BS... now it has been a year and a half and I was 20 then now going to be almost 23... so yes maturity has caught up w/ me and I'm kicking myself in the ass about it all... *grumbles*
All in all, I just wanted to see if anyone from the other side of the table had anything to say about it.... I guess the best bet is just be frank about it all and fess up.... I've heard the best thing is even if its not on there tell them and take full responsibilty even if it was BS or wrong place in time.... I mean I'm sitting on nearly 1000/150 and it would be a shame for this **** to come bite me in the ass.... I've looked into getting the latter two to be expunged but its like a min of $4k and its far from a sure beat.... that it would all happen in 6 months if not more....
So the way I look at it.... I try my damn best to get an interview... be on top of my game as far as the interview goes... be honest... give them the brief but full story.... take blame and remorse... and move on w/ the interview... Forest Gump said it the best.. "**** Happens" and all you can do is keep running....

I apperciate all of the help and information you guys offered.... I think I already had the answer I said above but I wanted confirmation that we were all on the same page.... again... hearing a guy w/ a Dui' got a job is kinda wild... but I guess its how you play your cards... my old instructor go a job with Express Jet w/ a Reckless Driving on the record.... I feel that is right below a DUI and both seem to me to be worse that what I would have... *shrugs* thats my opinion though so we'll see how the cards fall...

Thanks again to all... If there are any HR ppl w/ exper. I'd love to hear any information....
