- One’s mindset is "make money." That’s it. Get something up and live, launch the features which will bring in the most dough and optimize it over time.
- Others – ‘make money from the publication and then use that to build a better site.’
- Others – ‘take the time now to go through a full architecture and development now, so the site is positioned to grow and scale as the publication and user traffic does.’
- Others -’choose us for our proprietary content management system.’

!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is part of this my fault? i.e. not being specific enough?

What’s the most important criteria? The people? Making money? Catering to business needs? Keeping users first?

HELP!

instead of thinking from ur point of view of making money, position yourself as a student, which one of these ideas will benefit or attract you most. alternatively, conduct surveys with students to get their opinions.. that way u know that ur website will catch students attention when its launched.

Anyways I need to pick 4 jobs as a member of the Softbook program. One is for sure fire protection apprentice. I do not like to do paper pushing jobs or sit in an office all day. I like to do hands-on, challenging, and interesting NON-COMBAT jobs. More than anything though, I like to help people and to make a difference. I also want something that has a good translation to civilian life.

I was thinking possibly as the other three:

Aerospace Maintenance/ Jet Mechanic/Crew Chief

Emergency Management/Readiness

Aerospace Propulsions Systems

Air Traffic Controller

Security Forces

Integrated Avionics Systems

space systems

aerospace physiology

EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal[probably more of an impulse choice])

If I had to pick today i would put:
Fire Protection apprentice
Crew Chief/aerospace maintenance
integrated avionics systems
emergency management/readiness(I would really like to know more about this job in particular)

I dont know much about these jobs and I could use a lot of first hand info about them and others you would recommend. Thank You and God Bless.

nice choice on the air force. based on your firefighter quals I would recommend training to be a pararescueman (PJ). they seem to be very undermanned right now and you are able to help others, get full paramedic qualification and do some really bang up sh*t. granted, it is the hardest training in the military with around 80% wash out, but hey, risk/reward right? unfortunately it looks like you are not interested in combat so all the special tactics jobs might be out of the question as they are balls deep in it sometimes. With firefighter or PJ you will be a highly qualified firefighter in the civilian world but if you are already a FF2 then Fire Protection Apprentice might seem a little boring, I dont know. EOD looks fun and rewarding and contractors pay good for your service on the outside. Air Traffic Controller will get you a six figure job in the civilian world but I hear that working for the FAA is pure hell. I’m weighing the same options as you my man, and I’m 24. Good Luck.

PS: I have also thought about the coast guard as an AST (Aviation Survival Technician) and more minor as Damage controlman
Can Anyone tell me more about Chaplain Assistant?

Suggestions:

1. Firefighter
2. SERE – http://www.gosere.com
3. Air Traffic Controller
4. Chaplain Assistant
5. Aerospace Physiology – Medical Person that deals with Pilots and Aviation personnel. You deal with altitude chambers and flight physical stuff.
These based on the stuff you said you wanted. Also the SERE job sounds like the coast guard AST.

EDIT:
Also putting Security Forces down on your job sheet doesn’t automatically get you selected for it. I did that on mine and got my second job selected from a list.

Mine when I went through the job selection:
1. Imagery Intelligence
2. Operations Intelligence
3. Life Supoort
4. Firefighter
5. Security Forces

BTW, What is harder to become SERE, EOD, or PJ

PS: I have also thought about the coast guard as an AST (Aviation Survival Technician) and more minor as Damage controlman
Also I have have thought about going into Intel, as one day I would possibly want to work in the CIA.

Chaplain Assistant – there are usually one or more chaplains assigned to a base. You will simply be his or her assistant – this is definately not the kind of thing you have in mind.

Aerospace Maintenance/ Jet Mechanic/Crew Chief – I did this on F-15’s. Great job, lots of hand on but can get tedious and monotonous unless you volunteer to go TDY frequently.

Emergency Management/Readiness – As readiness you would be in an office more than you like. You would probably be writing policy, developing evacuation plans for the base, helping to evaluate excercises, and training troops on Nuclear, Chemical and Biological warfare.

Aerospace Propulsions Systems – jet engine mechanic. You’d be the guy the crew cheif called if the engines didn’t work.

Air Traffic Controller – high stress job, probably wind up sitting down more than you’d want to.

Security Forces – really a lot more boring than people would think. Not a lot of crime on a military base (especially AF). You’d wind up patroling the flightline, the perimeter and the front gate. While deployed you would be doing the same thing.

Integrated Avionics Systems – more electronics than mechanics. These are the guys that I used to call if I got an indication that there was something wrong with the avionics – they would come out, pull a box out of the nose cone and take it back to the shop to work on it.

space systems – FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T PICK THIS! I’ve only met a few people in Space Systems and they all work at missile bases in the middle of NOWHERE. The generally do not deploy frequently. I really don’t know what they do but one guy I met spent so much time alone in a bunker that he had HORRIBLE social skillls. He had volunteer to deploy with the Army to get out of his "hole in the ground."

aerospace physiology – This job is more in the medical career field.

SERE,EOD and PJ [probably more of impulse choices] – EOD has a 85-90% wash out rate. As a crew cheif I met several guys who had washed out of PJ school and SERE school and got transferred to being crew cheifs. As a PJ you will not spend a lot of time at home – one of the girls I was deployed with had been married for 3 years and spent about 6 months of time with her husband. Immediately after she returned to the states her husband was deployed for another 6 months. SERE is actually an instructor position. You will be training aircrew and intel troops on Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape. Public speaking is part of it – I knew one guy who got washed out because he couldn’t give a 5 minute speech without cursing.

That governments have permitted terrorist acts against their own people, and have even themselves been perpetrators in order to find strategic advantage is quite likely true, but this is the United States we’re talking about.

That intelligence agencies, financiers, terrorists and narco-criminals have a long history together is well established, but the Nugan Hand Bank, BCCI, Banco Ambrosiano, the P2 Lodge, the CIA/Mafia anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra and the rest were a long time ago, so there’s no need to rehash all that. That was then, this is now!

That Jonathan Bush’s Riggs Bank has been found guilty of laundering terrorist funds and fined a US-record $25 million must embarrass his nephew George, but it’s still no justification for leaping to paranoid conclusions.

That George Bush’s brother Marvin sat on the board of the Kuwaiti-owned company which provided electronic security to the World Trade Centre, Dulles Airport and United Airlines means nothing more than you must admit those Bush boys have done alright for themselves.

That George Bush found success as a businessman only after the investment of Osama’s brother Salem and reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mahfouz is just one of those things – one of those crazy things.

That Osama bin Laden is known to have been an asset of US foreign policy in no way implies he still is.

That al Qaeda was active in the Balkan conflict, fighting on the same side as the US as recently as 1999, while the US protected its cells, is merely one of history’s little aberrations.

The claims of Michael Springman, State Department veteran of the Jeddah visa bureau, that the CIA ran the office and issued visas to al Qaeda members so they could receive training in the United States, sound like the sour grapes of someone who was fired for making such wild accusations.

That one of George Bush’s first acts as President, in January 2001, was to end the two-year deployment of attack submarines which were positioned within striking distance of al Qaeda’s Afghanistan camps, even as the group’s guilt for the Cole bombing was established, proves that a transition from one administration to the next is never an easy task.

That so many influential figures in and close to the Bush White House had expressed, just a year before the attacks, the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" before their militarist ambitions could be fulfilled, demonstrates nothing more than the accidental virtue of being in the right place at the right time.

That the company PTECH, founded by a Saudi financier placed on America’s Terrorist Watch List in October 2001, had access to the FAA’s entire computer system for two years before the 9/11 attack, means he must not have been such a threat after all.

That whistleblower Indira Singh was told to keep her mouth shut and forget what she learned when she took her concerns about PTECH to her employers and federal authorities, suggests she lacked the big picture. And that the Chief Auditor for JP Morgan Chase told Singh repeatedly, as she answered questions about who supplied her with what information, that "that person should be killed," suggests he should take an anger management seminar.

That on May 8, 2001, Dick Cheney took upon himself the job of co-ordinating a response to domestic terror attacks even as he was crafting the administration’s energy policy which bore implications for America’s military, circumventing the established infrastructure and ignoring the recommendations of the Hart-Rudman report, merely shows the VP to be someone who finds it hard to delegate.

That the standing order which covered the shooting down of hijacked aircraft was altered on June 1, 2001, taking discretion away from field commanders and placing it solely in the hands of the Secretary of Defense, is simply poor planning and unfortunate timing. Fortunately the error has been corrected, as the order was rescinded shortly after 9/11.

That in the weeks before 9/11, FBI agent Colleen Rowley found her investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui so perversely thwarted that her colleagues joked that bin Laden had a mole at the FBI, proves the stress-relieving virtue of humour in the workplace.

That Dave Frasca of the FBI’s Radical Fundamentalist Unit received a promotion after quashing multiple, urgent requests for investigations into al Qaeda assets training at flight schools in the summer of 2001 does appear on the surface odd, but undoubtedly there’s a good reason for it, quite possibly classified.

That FBI informant Randy Glass, working an undercover sting, was told by Pakistani intelligence operatives that the World Trade Center towers were coming down, and that his repeated warnings which continued until weeks before the attacks, including the mention of planes used as weapons, were ignored by federal authorities, is simply one of the many "What Ifs" of that tragic day.

That over the summer of 2001 Washington received many urgent, senior-level warnings from foreign intelligence agencies and governments – including those of Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Afghanistan and others – of impending terror attacks using hijacked aircraft and did nothing, demonstrates the pressing need for a new Intelligence Czar.

That John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircraft in July 2001 on account of security considerations had nothing to do with warnings regarding September 11, because he said so to the 9/11 Commission.

That former lead counsel for the House David Schippers says he’d taken to John Ashcroft’s office specific warnings he’d learned from FBI agents in New York of an impending attack – even naming the proposed dates, names of the hijackers and the targets – and that the investigations had been stymied and the agents threatened, proves nothing but David Schipper’s pathetic need for attention.

That Garth Nicolson received two warnings from contacts in the intelligence community and one from a North African head of state, which included specific site, date and source of the attacks, and passed the information to the Defense Department and the National Security Council to evidently no effect, clearly amounts to nothing, since virtually nobody has ever heard of him.

That in the months prior to September 11, self-described US intelligence operative Delmart Vreeland sought, from a Toronto jail cell, to get US and Canadian authorities to heed his warning of his accidental discovery of impending catastrophic attacks is worthless, since Vreeland was a dubious character, notwithstanding the fact that many of his claims have since been proven true.

That FBI Special Investigator Robert Wright claims that agents assigned to intelligence operations actually protect terrorists from investigation and prosecution, that the FBI shut down his probe into terrorist training camps, and that he was removed from a money-laundering case that had a direct link to terrorism, sounds like yet more sour grapes from a disgruntled employee.

That George Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan on his desk before 9/11 demonstrates only the value of being prepared.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.

That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.

Mahmood Ahmed, chief of Pakistan’s ISI, must not have authorized an al Qaeda payment of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta days before the attacks, and was not meeting with senior Washington officials over the week of 9/11, because I didn’t read anything about him in the official report.

That Porter Goss met with Ahmed the morning of September 11 in his capacity as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has no bearing whatsoever upon his recent selection by the White House to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

That Goss’s congressional seat encompasses the 9/11 hijackers’ Florida base of operation, including their flight schools, is precisely the kind of meaningless factoid a conspiracy theorist would bring up.

It’s true that George HW Bush and Dick Cheney spent the evening of September 10 alone in the Oval Office, but what’s wrong with old colleagues catching up? And it’s true that George HW Bush and Shafig bin Laden, Osama’s brother, spent the morning of September 11 together at a board meeting of the Carlyle Group, but the bin Ladens are a big family.

That FEMA arrived in New York on Sept 10 to prepare for a scheduled biowarfare drill, and had a triage centre ready to go that was larger and better equipped than the one that was lost in the collapse of WTC 7, was a lucky twist of fate.

Newsweek’s report that senior Pentagon officials cancelled flights on Sept 10 for the following day on account of security concerns is only newsworthy because of what happened the following morning.

That George Bush’s telephone logs for September 11 do not exist should surprise no one, given the confusion of the day.

That Mohamed Atta attended the International Officer’s School at Maxwell Air Force Base, that Abdulaziz Alomari attended Brooks Air Force Base Aerospace Medical School, that Saeed Alghamdi attended the Defense Language Institute in Monterey merely shows it is a small world, after all.

That Lt Col Steve Butler, Vice Chancellor for student affairs of the Defense Language Institute during Alghamdi’s terms, was disciplined, removed from his post and threatened with court martial when he wrote "Bush knew of the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. What is…contemptible is the President of the United States not telling the American people what he knows for political gain," is the least that should have happened for such disrespect shown his Commander in Chief.

That Mohammed Atta dressed like a Mafioso, had a stripper girlfriend, smuggled drugs, was already a licensed pilot when he entered the US, enjoyed pork chops, drank to excess and did cocaine, was closer to Europeans than Arabs in Florida, and included the names of defence contractors on his email list, proves how dangerous the radical fundamentalist Muslim can be.

That 43 lbs of heroin was found on board the Lear Jet owned by Wally Hilliard, the owner of Atta’s flight school, just three weeks after Atta enrolled – the biggest seizure ever in Central Florida – was just bad luck. That Hilliard was not charged shows how specious the claims for conspiracy truly are.

That Hilliard’s plane had made 30-round trips to Venezuela with the same passengers who always paid cash, that the plane had been supplied by a pair of drug smugglers who had also outfitted CIA drug runner Barry Seal, and that 9/11 commissioner Richard ben-Veniste had been Seal’s attorney before Seal’s murder, shows nothing but the lengths to which conspiracists will go to draw sinister conclusions.

Reports of insider trading on 9/11 are false, because the SEC investigated and found only respectable investors who will remain nameless involved, and no terrorists, so the windfall profit-taking was merely, as ever, coincidental.

That heightened security for the World Trade Centre was lifted immediately prior to the attacks illustrates that it always happens when you least expect it.

That Hani Hanjour, the pilot of Flight 77, was so incompetent he could not fly a Cessna in August, but in September managed to fly a 767 at excessive speed into a spiraling, 270-degree descent and a level impact of the first floor of the Pentagon, on the only side that was virtually empty and had been hardened to withstand a terrorist attack, merely demonstrates that people can do almost anything once they set their minds to it.

That none of the flight data recorders were said to be recoverable even though they were located in the tail sections, and that until 9/11, no solid-state recorder in a catastrophic crash had been unrecoverable, shows how there’s a first time for everything.

That Mohammed Atta left a uniform, a will, a Koran, his driver’s license and a "how to fly planes" video in his rental car at the airport means he had other things on his mind.

The mention of Israelis with links to military-intelligence having been arrested on Sept 11 videotaping and celebrating the attacks, of an Israeli espionage ring surveiling DEA and defense installations and trailing the hijackers, and of a warning of impending attacks delivered to the Israeli company Odigo two hours before the first plane hit, does not deserve a response. That the stories also appeared in publications such as Ha’aretz and Forward is a sad display of self-hatred among certain elements of the Israeli media.

That multiple military wargames and simulations were underway the morning of 9/11 – one simulating the crash of a plane into a building; another, a live-fly simulation of multiple hijackings – and took many interceptors away from the eastern seaboard and confused field commanders as to which was a real hijacked aircraft and which was a hoax, was a bizarre coincidence, but no less a coincidence.

That the National Military Command Center ops director asked a rookie substitute to stand his watch at 8:30 am on Sept. 11 is nothing more than bad timing.

That a recording made Sept 11 of air traffic controllers’ describing what they had witnessed, was destroyed by an FAA official who crushed it in his hand, cut the tape into little pieces and dropped them in different trash cans around the building, is something no doubt that overzealous official wishes he could undo.

That the FBI knew precisely which Florida flight schools to descend upon hours after the attacks should make every American feel safer knowing their federal agents are on the ball.

That a former flight school executive believes the hijackers were "double agents," and says about Atta and associates, "Early on I gleaned that these guys had government protection. They were let into this country for a specific purpose," and was visited by the FBI just four hours after the attacks to intimidate him into silence, proves he’s an unreliable witness, for the simple reason there is no conspiracy.

That Jeb Bush was on board an aircraft that removed flight school records to Washington in the middle of the night on Sept 12th demonstrates how seriously the governor takes the issue of national security.

To insinuate evil motive from the mercy flights of bin Laden family members and Saudi royals after 9/11 shows the sickness of the conspiratorial mindset.

Le Figaro’s report in October 2001, known to have originated with French intelligence, that the CIA met Osama bin Laden in a Dubai hospital in July 2001, proves again the perfidy of the French.

That the tape in which bin Laden claims responsibility for the attacks was released by the State Department after having been found providentially by US forces in Afghanistan, and depicts a fattened Osama with a broader face and a flatter nose, proves Osama, and Osama alone, masterminded 9/11.

That at the battle of Tora Bora, where bin Laden was surrounded on three sides, Special Forces received no order to advance and capture him and were forced to stand and watch as two Russian-made helicopters flew into the area where bin Laden was believed hiding, loaded up passengers and returned to Pakistan, demonstrates how confusing the modern battlefield can be.

That upon returning to Fort Bragg from Tora Bora, the same Special Operations troops who had been stood down from capturing bin Laden, suffered a unusual spree of murder/suicides, is nothing more than a series of senseless tragedies.

Reports that bin Laden is currently receiving periodic dialysis treatment in a Pakistani medical hospital are simply too incredible to be true.

That the White House went on Cipro September 11 shows the foresightedness of America’s emergency response.

That the anthrax was mailed to perceived liberal media and the Democratic leadership demonstrates only the perversity of the terrorist psyche.

That the anthrax attacks appeared to silence opponents of the Patriot Act shows only that appearances can be deceiving.

That the Ames-strain anthrax was found to have originated at Fort Detrick, and was beyond the capability of all but a few labs to refine, underscores the importance of allowing the investigation to continue without the distraction of absurd conspiracy theories.

That Republican guru Grover Norquist has been found to have aided financiers and supporters of Islamic terror to gain access to the Bush White House, and is a founder of the Islamic Institute, which the Treasury Department believes to be a source of funding for al Qaeda, suggests Norquist is at worst, naive, and at best, needs a wider circle of friends.

That the Department of Justice consistently chooses to see accused 9/11 plotters go free rather than permit the courtroom testimony of al Qaeda leaders in American custody looks bad, but only because we don’t have all the facts.

That the White House balked at any inquiry into the events of 9/11, then starved it of funds and stonewalled it, was unfortunate, but since the commission didn’t find for conspiracy it’s all a non issue anyway.

That the 9/11 commission’s executive director and "gatekeeper," Philip Zelikow, was so closely involved in the events under investigation that he testified before the the commission as part of the inquiry, shows only an apparent conflict of interest.

That commission chair Thomas Kean is, like George Bush, a Texas oil executive who had business dealings with reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mafouz, suggests Texas is smaller than they say it is.

That co-chair Lee Hamilton has a history as a Bush family "fixer," including clearing Bush Sr of the claims arising from the 1980 "October Surprise", is of no concern, since only conspiracists believe there was such a thing as an October Surprise.

That FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds accuses the agency of intentionally fudging specific pre-9/11 warnings and harboring a foreign espionage ring in its translation department, and claims she witnessed evidence of the semi-official infrastructure of money-laundering and narcotics trade behind the attacks, is of no account, since John Ashcroft has gagged her with the rare invocation of "State Secrets Privilege," and retroactively classified her public testimony. For the sake of national security, let us speak no more of her.

That, when commenting on Edmond’s case, Daniel Ellsberg remarked that Ashcroft could go to prison for his part in a cover-up, suggests Ellsberg is giving comfort to the terrorists, and could, if he doesn’t wise up, find himself declared an enemy combatant.

I could go on. And on and on. But I trust you get the point. Which is simply this: there are no secrets, an American government would never accept civilian casualties for geostrategic gain, and conspiracies are for the weak-minded and gullible.

I want to talk about Text messaging While Driving.Can anyone tell me if this is enough information should I include anything else. I live in NYC. I got only 3-5 minutest to talk about it.
Any opinion would be great. THANK YOU.
Text Messaging While Driving
SOURCES:
www.switched.com
www.nytimes.com
www.news.com/

I’m doing my Oral Presentation on text messaging while driving. Driving while texting is dangerous and illegal in many places. Sending SMS messages while driving is just plain suicidal. People must really not value their vehicles, their own personal safety or the safety of others to drive while typing a text message on a numeric keypad with a car in motion. If you really must text or talk on the phone without a handset, pull the car off of the road and stop.I think texting takes more concentration than just talking. So Text messaging while driving should be banned and everyone who is coughed text messaging while driving should be punished.

According to the ABC, On April 2006 study found that 80 percent of crashes, and 65 percent of near crashes, are caused by distractions from putting on makeup to writing and eating. Many states, including New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, have already placed restrictions on cell phone use while driving and, in May 2007, Washington was the first state to specifically ban texting. Since texting is more prevalent among teenagers.

Driving While Texting is a growing danger. In various accredited published studies, some 46 percent of drivers ages 16 to 17 admit to texting while driving. One study by Nationwide Insurance suggests DWT is generational, with 37 percent of people age 18 to 27 saying they text message while driving, while just 14 percent of those ages 28 to 44 and two percent of drivers ages 45 to 60 admitted to it.

Text Messaging while driving is dangerous, For example: In June, a group of five teenage girls were driving to a vacation home along a road in upstate New York when their sport utility vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic and slammed head-on into a tractor trailer, killing all five of them. police say was caused by three factors: her inexperience at the wheel, driving at high speeds and the text messaging that occurred while she was driving. Two minutes before the accident was reported, the driver had sent a message to one of her friends.
Months after a horrific highway crash killed five high school graduates, a state senator is proposing a ban on text messaging while driving in New York.It’s a good thing that NY is considering the banning of texting while driving. In New York, much like speeding and other moving violations, driving while texting is one of those offenses that asks police officers to use their judgment. In general, police have indicated warnings will be given in most cases, with citations going out to those caught texting in heavy traffic or anyone causing an accident.
Under the proposal, those nabbed texting while driving could be hit with fines of up to $100 – the same penalty that applies now when police catch drivers talking on cell phones.

A Solution: The smart folks at Virtual Management, Inc. thought so and went about developing the Electronic Virtual Assistant (EVA). EVA offers a live transcribing service which can send and receive e-mail or text messages via voice mail. The system reads all-important e-mail or text message back to you on a hands-free kit. It will also back up to its database any data given or received by voice over the phone for a period of 10 years. "When you’re driving and you want to respond [to a text message or e-mail], most people will thumb [type] a response, which is a little dangerous. With EVA you can dictate a message and it will be sent as an online WAV (digital audio) file as an e-mail attachment.

More than 158 billion text messages were sent in the USA in 2006, says USA Today, quoting CTIA-The Wireless Association figures. More than a trillion were sent worldwide, says an Ontario business school. EVA says its sales have grown by more than 300 percent since December 2006.

Check your spelling — there are a few errors, like ‘coughed’ instead of ‘caught’.

I’d lead in with the 2nd paragraph (According to ABC), it seems to be a stronger lead. Then follow up with your opinion. Don’t need the first sentence at all (I’m doing my presentation . . .) unless required by the teacher.

If you have the extra time — and the nerve! — try a quick 10 second intro of pretending to text on your cell phone while turning a corner, complete with squealing tires, crashing noises & a look of horror on your face. THEN, start your presentation. That will get their attention, for sure! Good luck!

Now i’m older (25), I haven’t been arrested a single time since, finished university (i’m an economist) and I work at a commercial real estate investment and management firm. I have never even recieved a traffic ticket. I’m married now with one kiddo on the way.

About a week ago the wife and I came home and our house had been burglarized. I don’t really mind, having grown up in neighborhoods where this happened to me all the time but my wife is absolutely new to this, petrified and she demands I apply for a firearm’s permit. Yet she doesn’t know the history of my arrests when I was 12, 13 and 15.

I can legally vote and all my charges were handled in the juvenile court system (NOT as an adult). I do recall having to take a DNA swab test tho due to the charge being a felony.

Am I eligible?

what you need to do to find out is actually go to the police department and fill out the forms and they will run you through the computer then and there and they will tell you if you can purchase a handgun or not. I don’t know for sure since you were charged as a juvenile but due to the nature of the crimes i would think they would show up. Unless during the court proceedings they judge decide to seal your record if you stayed out of trouble. If not you can get a lawyer and file to have your record ex-sponged with clears it or for michigan laws i don’t know about your state you can still purchase a shot gun or rifle just not a pistol if your a convicted felon
