RCMP career chances RUINED?

Then don't lie about it. Nobody is squeaky clean. What you did may have displayed poor judgement, but you were a kid at the time.

Kids show poor judgement all the time, they're brain damaged until they grow up and care for themselves. Technically yes, it was child porn, but I don't think the RCMP would consider it as a major offense in view of the circumstances.

As recently as a few weeks ago you were a 15 year old kid eager to join the Canadian Army and filled up Y/A with questions about what army life would be like. Now - you suddenly want to join the RCMP but "when you were 15 or 16 you may have been involved in child porn. Just because these boards are generally anonymous, they're supposedly for people to ask legitimate questions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
