David wasn't actually arrested for it before he joined the military. No lie, my sister dated David in high school, so this story kept me on my toes.

The worst part is that when/if the guy gets out of prison they'll have raised the enlistment age so many times that he'll STILL be eligible to serve. Susan,

The Department of the Army and the Department of Defense do perform background checks on applicants for enlistment, including FBI fingerprint comparisons of applicant cards submitted against criminal cards on file. Such records do not exist until a suspect is arrested, if cards are not already on file. It could be that David Crawford had an extensive criminal record prior to his enlistment, or it that he had no record at the time of enlistment, or even after that date but prior to his eventual arrest. It is not likely that the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense could have known in advance that he was an unidentified or identified suspect, nor could they have handled this matter in any other way than they apparently did.
