Jersey City, NJ asked in Employment Law, Consumer Law, Criminal Law and Military Law for New Jersey

Q: An arrest record for an Article 15 was sent to FBI, what happens after 7 yrs? Does it show for employment in accounting?

During a deployment overseas, there was an incident involving multiple personnel. US Army CID took fingerprints and statements from personnel involved. The charges are shown on an fbi personal rap sheet few years after. There was no court martial. The disposition is only an article 15 ( non judicial punishment) and no conviction. It’s been more than 7 years, so wondering if it would show during employer background check.
