Hello-
I understand that this was a massive mistake, but I was pulled over for speeding. I was ticketed with Reckless Driving after going 80 in a 55 zone, on a clear day, with very little traffic. I was very cooperative with the officer. This is my first ticket, and besides this I am completely clean.
I am extremely nervous about this whole situation. Given how serious my state takes Reckless Driving, if I am found guilty of this, do I lose all chances of a Marine Option NROTC Scholarship? Does it matter if I am able to get the charges reduced? Even if I am not found guilty of the Reckless Driving, will it remain on my record and possible take away the Security Clearance? Is there some sort of waiver one could receive for either Reckless Driving, or Speeding? What fines need to be reported to the NROTC board?
I understand these are quite a few questions, but as I said, I am completely terrified by the prospect of losing my goal as a Marine Corps Officer.
Thank you for any advice.
Sincerely,
Prospective USMC
