It depends on the offense but you should be fine. Talk to an Air Force recruiter and be honest about your situation. I would also encourage you to look into all branches of service as some may have more strict requirements than others. But as a Marine, I'm obligated to try and lure you away from other services. J/k. Congrats on your decision to serve.
It depends on how your case was disposed. If you received a determinate sentence then you will probably have some problems. If not, generally you should have any problems but you should have your juvenile records sealed to avoid situation such as this.
The trend with respect to juvenile records has been moving towards allowing those records to become more readily available to the general public. I recently spoke to to a young 22 year old man who was attempting to join the Air Force and they did not allow him to apply due to a juvenile criminal record that he obtained when he was 14 years old. That is why I advise anyone who is being accused of a juvenile case to hire their own criminal defense attorney and fight their case up through a jury trial and not to accept a plea of being delinquent, whenever possible. It is my opinion that The juvenile system in El Paso County Texas encourages the use of a court appointed attorney who only gets paid $2,500 to handle all of the court appointed cases that were filed in El Paso County within a 2 week period, therefore, do you really believe that an attorney who is only being paid that money is going to take all of those cases (which could be 50 or more cases) to trial? Just do the math, do you think it makes economic sense for that lawyer to try all of those cases, so what do you think that court appointed lawyer is more likely to advise? To plead out or to go o trial? That is why I recommend for anyone facing any criminal case to hire an attorney who has vast jury trial experience and who has a winning record. Do this in order to help avoid exactly what you are now going though. It is my understanding that the armed forces can use whatever information they may have in their possession in order to make the decision to accept or to deny an applicant. There is something that you may be able to attempt, you can go speak with an attorney, such as myself to discuss the possibility of sealing your juvenile records.
