Nervous about my reckless financial history
Hey all,
Currently in the process of enlisting in the US Army to be able to better provide for my family. Since I am recently married and have a daughter to be born in the coming months. Looking into doing something in the cyber field that requires clearance since I have about 5 years IT Experience and the sec+.
Pretty much good with all other aspects of documentation regarding my frequent moves in the last few years, jobs, and etc.
I am nervous about my financial history. I have been late with my utility bills in the past, late on rent a few times, didn't file taxes last two years, and haven't made payments on my credit card the last 2 years. Writing it down I see how careless and stupid this looks.
So far, I have filed my late taxes, I'm current with my bills these past few months, and I'm currently on a payment plan for my Credit Cards.
So even with all of these sorted or planned, will this still disqualify me for being financially reckless in the recent past?
