Appreciate the contributions of all in this matter. As noted previously, the OF-306 was submitted - with a “NO” to question #9 _[9. During the last 7 years, have you been convicted, been imprisoned, been on probation, or been on parole]_ Placing a in the box for “NO” was the response (1.) because it is wholly truthful and accurate … and (2.) because the form **only** provides two ways to answer the question either place in box for - [YES] -or- place in box for [NO] Did not attempt to insert any comments into #16 - because the instructions clearly indicated that the box for #16 was only for use if one had answered “YES” to a prior question and based upon the helpful comments above, am assuming that this will be sufficient at this point in time - Yes, there may be subsequent forms that may ask about other matters - and those will be answered fully and truthfully. Absolutely & emphatically intend to be truthful and accurate - and would be willing to expand upon items outside of the specific questions - but - Honestly - after very thorough review of the current OP-306 that was provided and requested to be completed as a part of a tentative job offer: _( Optional Form 306 - Revised October 2011 - Previous editions obsolete and unusable)_ cannot find any way to introduce information into the OP-306 regarding events that **clearly do not rise to the threshold of matters set forth in the form** - or matters that have not been requested. Again - thanks to all for your thoughts. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.clearancejobsblog.com/t/of-306-dismissed-misdemeanor/5701)._
