And for myself..someone who has been sentenced to DB for a few days as a NSmen...will my new employer know about my sentence but i doubt that is a crime right?

Jail - yes. Then again, if the employer doesn't perform background checks properly, no worries.
DB - no. If DB sentence is over x days, it is considered equivalent to a jail sentence and you'll know it.
