    Need Secret Security Clearance

    I know you probably get tons of criminal records questions, but I have wanted to enlist for a long time and am trying to make it happen soon.  I was arrested for aggravated assault on a police officer but accepted a pre-trial program and completed the program, so I have no conviction for this felony, just an arrest record.  The whole thing has made things so difficult for me.  I was underage drinking and accept full responsibility for that, but in no way did I deserve the charge since the officer was injured by jumping to grab me.  My lawyer convinced me to accept the program but I wanted to fight it all, but I accept what I have to deal with, and that is this arrest record for aggravated assault (again, no conviction).  I know I can enlist in the Army still, but I hope to move into areas that require Secret Security Clearance, and was wondering whether this will make it nearly impossible for me to achieve this, and also if there is any way I can find an exception to the rule if it is impossible.  This has been my dream for a long time, and so any help is greatly appreciated.
