Replacing Ajax async: false with Promise anyone?

[beantownace]

I am trying to do the following function and I need to make sure I don't pass back the pass variable until it is done and I can't run this as async: false how can I do this without making it sync?

function checkResult(id) {
    var pass = false;

    $.ajax({
        url: myurl
        contentType: "application/html; charset=utf-8",
        data: { id: id },
        type: "GET",
        dataType: "json",
        success: (function(result) {
            pass = result;
        }),
        error: (function(result) {
            pass = result;
        })
    });

    return pass;
}
