More details to this question:
Felony convictions happened when I was 15. Night time B/E and LARC (all one arrest). I have been in the USMC for over 5 years now, have a top secret clearance and now guard the embassies around the globe. Spotless record since.

Juvenile records are not disseminated to the public in Massachusetts. If you were not indicted as a youthful offender the matters will automatically be sealed. If you were indicted as a youthful offender then the matter will appear on your adult record. Felonies can be sealed 10 years from the termination of jail, probation and/or parole administratively through the Office of the Commissioner of Probation. They may be sealed by motion through the court before the 10 year period. For further information on sealing a record see my website at www.johnedevito.com.
