Hi,

I would like to join the Peace Corps, but I was charged with
a misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana a
few years back, long enough that it will be expunged by the
time I would apply. I realize that I should declare this and
explain myself but what are the odds that this is disqualify
from serving?
