I got out of the army back in october 2005 due to pregnancy, wish I had never gotten out, but anyways, I did have an article 15 in basic where they revoked my ranked and deducted money from my pay and 2 weeks extra duty. Well I also got one in ait but it wasn't as serious i had my cell phone in formation and it went off all I got was 14 days extra duty. My question is i applied for the kansas city police department and i told them about my article 15s the first one was the bad one and I know it looks bad, but does it stay on your record after u leave there? I was told it wouldn't follow me, how would I check to see if it is still there? Thank you for taking the time to read this.

is there any way that I would be able to access it and see what it says?

They will always be part of your official personnel file, even if they are archived after your discharge.
They are not part of your criminal history.
They will only be brought to the investigator's attention if you or someone else brings it to their attention.
They can be accessed by the investigator, with your permission.
Depending on where you applied they may be used against you for hiring purposes, then again they may not.
If you lie about them in any you can pretty much guarantee that you won't get hired.

An Article 15 would remain as part of your military records. However they will not count as a 'police record.' Nor can civilian law enforcement access them - except as a background investigation.
Most people tend to give less weight to Art-15s that a soldier got in basic/AIT. The assumption here is that some people simply needed more of a 'wake up call' to adapt to military life.
I would not worry too much. The people doing background investigations are more interested to see if there is something there that may predict trouble in the future.

They remain a part of your record, but I seriously doubt the police would have access to that much of your file.
Not bragging mind you, but I had three non judicial punishments & two special court martials during my six years in the USN. But I toughed it out & earned my honorable discharge after completing my enlistment.
The only info available is the type & date of my discharge without someone being VERY well connected.

They are gone. They only thing that remains is what is on your dd 214, ie. the type of discharge you received. Unless you bring it up there is no way anyone can find out about that type of thing. Unless of course you are going to work with people that were in Basic or AIT with you even then most people forget about the things that don’t involve them personally.

OK, i call the bluff. I seriously doubt SantaBud received 3 article 15s and 2 special courts-martial. That doesn't happen.

Article 15 stay within in the company while you are in the company. Once you leave the company, they are "erased" from your record. Once you leave BCT, you are in a new company at AIT, and once you leave AIT, you will be stationed at your DS, and you will have a new company. So the answer is NO.

Nobody knows about them unless they can access you SRB, about the only thing they could get ahold of is if you were convicted in a court martial and it counted as a felony against you.

It is all in your jacket as a permanent record.
