At one time I was the Browns Ferry Maintenance Manager and was involved in the hiring of all trainees. Your one event would definitely not be a deciding factor in the hiring factor. The others are correct - honesty is a must. I hired a number of people who were good workers where several years after hiring it was found they had exagerated about their education or past work and they were let go. The logic being if you lie on your application you can not be trusted and they take your security clearance away.
My best example of it pays to tell the truth is when I was the RPM for Browns Ferry I had one HP tech who had past drug and firearms issues but listed them all and listed his parole officer as a reference. He got his security clearance. On the other hand I hired one HP tech who said he had a degree whwn he was 2 courses short. A degree was not required and he would have been hired without it. He was a great worker and quickly made supervisor. Two years after hiring the final security clearance was completed showing no degree. I was forced to fire him for losing his clearance.

I saw a fellow offered a job with the degree listed on his resume (final 2 classes in progress, and he thought he would complete them prior to the anticipated hiring date). Based on some good advice from friends, he clarified it prior to accepting the position. He still got the job, and doesn't have to worry about keeping it.

Man I wouldn't sweat it! So long as you placed it on the security form AND are otherwise capable of getting a clearance what you did was minor in the general scheme of all things nuclear.
