<p>Alcat the Academy knows young adults make mistakes. They are also very specific in the application questionaire for a reason. Even if it isn’t a problem in the application phase, if accepted he will be screened for security clearence. The Air Force usually screens for at least a “Secret” level security clearence. During that screening any violation he may have as a part of public record would be discovered. That could present problems later. Review everything with the ALO, and if you have questions call the Admissions Counselor. Most of all remember what Patriot said, you can make that type of mistake and still be accepted. As for the nomination more information maybe needed. Did he apply for the Congressional and Presidential nominations available to him? Was he rejected by all nominating sources? Is he waiting to here about a nominating source? Many still have not completed their process, and you should be aware they can nominate more than one candidate for each slot they have available. Some nominating sources may not use all the slots available to them, others may have multiple candidates against an available slot.</p>
