Simple drug possession ?? my boys at Chino got a big laugh out of that.
With TWIC you go in apply pay you $136. and wait. If they send you a denial letter you have the right to appeal and ask for a waiver.
you then have to provide letters of rehabilitation and send in the waiver request.
They will then grant you a TWIC .
Chino Divers get TWIC cards .

This is gonna be tough for you. The best thing you can do is try. And it is becoming more and more important. Some companies will not hire anyone with out a TWIC. Your opinion, mine, and everyone else's will not get you through the gauntlet. The gray area is "smuggling". They don't like drug charges, but some can get a pass. Just try, the worst thing that could happen is they say no. Then appeal, and maybe you'll get some sympathy.
My personal opinion is that I like the TWIC. I really don't want any body on the crew who made such bad decisions. Every kid who went to school was bombarded with the message that drugs are bad and just say no. Sure, some learn from their mistakes, but most don't.
Sounds like your learning this the hard way.
Good luck.

If you dont know what a USCG license is then its a mute point.
A letter of rehabilitation means you have received training in a trade or drug rehabilitation program and are now on the straight and narrow.
If you need drugs as a crutch to get through the day, forget the diving business it has random drug testing . test dirty and your kicked to the side of the road and don't bother trying to get another chance.

i think you have to wait 5 or 7 years after you have the felony....but the twic card is not that important its for getting in to the ports and stuff so if you work inland it should not be a problem.....lucas

These days you need a TWIC card to enter any port, harbor, even board some vessels. Inland is your best bet but even then some compaines do work where twic is needed and they wont hire someone who might be not able to get in to the project.
