Can you be a firefighter if you have an Other than Honorable Discharge?

I went AWOL from the Army because my wife had a miscarriage and they wouldn't let me leave. I was shipped off to basic training and I was there for only 4 days, so I really didn't do any time in the military.

Its not an automatic "no" but it may weigh against you.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

Most small depts might take you but if 2000 people are going for ten positions why would they want a quiter

It all depends on the dept your applying for, best thing is to tell them your siduation and see what they say.

You probably wont get hired in a major city, but yes, you can overcome that obstical. You may end up working in a town of about 10000 people for really low pay. Good luck. and, dont take my answer as fact. Who really knows?

I have a bad conduct discharge, unless you're applying for a high security job or federal position they take it on a one by one basis, I actually did brig time and I know of a person working today for the bureaus of prisons in Ohio who I was locked up with.
