Normally I would start with my name is ... but in this case I won't. Not that I have anything big to hide, but I don't want my name to be known just in case.
I've dreamed about joing the FFL (LLE) since a couple of years now and 2019 is the year I want to give it a try. I am confident about being accepted. Because even though I don't work out at all, I am still fit if I want to. There is just one tiny little problem that bothers me. In 2016 I was arrested in another country (in Europe) for a minor drug related crime. I was arrested with a few grams of cocaïne, a cellphone and a small amount of cash (400/500eu). I was sentenced for 1 year due to a lack of defence from my lawyer back then. In the country where I was sentenced, 1 year means 4 months so 1/3 of your sentence you have to be in prison. There was a huge lack of evidence that I was dealing there (even though I was...), but if this happened in my country "The Netherlands", then I wouldn't even been in prison. I paid my parole and was a free man. Until 2018, when suddenly I had to go to prison in The Netherlands from the crime I commited back then. The country where I was arrested and sentenced gave the case to The Netherlands and they accepted without checking if I had a fair trial. I did some time in The Netherlands and I was done I thought. But then this year I was in prison ALSO because they caught my cellmate back in 2016 with 3 grams hasjish on our cell. They also sentenced me for that 3 months and I was in prison in The Netherlands for 1 month for this so called crime. Now, I don't do drugs. I never did and I know I never will. I was young and naïf in 2016 and was in need for money. I haven't done anything wrong since 2016. My question now is... I know there are probably some similiar threads to this, but I want to make sure because I've read a lot.
Is the FFL going to check this or will they find out about this without me telling them??
I don't wanna lie but I saw on another thread from a legionnaire who said "lie, look him in the eye and say no I have no problems with drugrelated crimes. Honesty will get you no where".
I have no blood on my hands. I am not a hardcore criminal not at all. I just work now.
Thanks in advance, merci d'avance ou comme on dit à Marseille "Mercé" haha...
