Military Service And Expungement

Summary

Joining the military does not automatically expunge your criminal record. In Georgia, expungement is referred to as record restriction and involves a legal process. You must first check if your offense is eligible, then file a petition with the court. The court will review your petition and decide on the restriction. This process is separate from military enlistment.
