More details to this question:
I was only 19, at the time, made a stupid mistake, while in the USMC, but I have no documentation whatso ever regarding this event. The lawyer, who I do not remember who it was, handled everything, and got a suspended sentence, due to the circumstances that I was serving.
i am in PA and cannot address VA law. however, you should find a lawyer to obtain your criminal history from VA or the FBI, see what shows, then consult with the lawyer as to whether any of it can be expunged.
