Will an Article 15 stop me from becoming a warrant officer?

Depending on your rank at the time it was administered... and how well you have progressed since …

Go with the advice from the WOs and I would recommend talking about it with the SR WO who you are asking to write your recommendation letter and get their take on the matter. I’ve witnessed past matters force former WOs out as NCOs since they were beyond their RCP when it was discovered. Although it may seem counterintuitive, honestly is the best policy. Even if it prevents you from becoming a WO, it’s better than what can happen later on if it is discovered after the fact and you didn’t disclose it.

You need to submit a moral waiver with your packet, and the waiver gets approved/disapproved by someone at the pentagon. There is an example on the USAREC website. If you don’t submit one, you run into the risk of them finding it, which will instantly disqualify you from becoming a WO, but that’s a choice you must make.

I think the army should reinstate pro pay for e4 through e6? Thoughts?

I had one for speeding ticket in Germany. Got a verbal.

Chances are your Article 15 was local. That means that is stays with the unit you got it in. If you have changed units, changed states it is gone away. One of my soldiers asked me the same thing today. You should be fine, good luck!

Not necessarily.

If it is not in Iperms, then no one can see it. If it is in the restricted section in iperms, then it is in iperms and open to derog investigation for centralized boards. I see you are USAR, if you wish to further discuss a Warrant Officer career, you may contact me at [login to see]

Most likely no at most they will ask for your last 5 NCOERs.

Note the five areas that are in my board file (scroll down) https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Selection%20Boards%20Frequently%20Asked%20Questions

That was eight years ago. A board considers how you have grown, what you have achieved, and so forth, during the years following the incident. If you were rehabilitated from the incident, meaning additional derogatory information is absence during the subsequent time frame, you’ll be fine. You will need to address the incident honestly if required. The primary concern is related to the security clearance, but it related to the aforementioned context. Hope this helps.
