just joined the air force, need a top secret clearance will my past haunt me!?

[Lucy S]

I went to school in the UK for a year as an exchange, while there i got a bunch of charges for a stupid drunk night, i was put in jail to the courts could see me, and given a court date to return, however, i was due to be back in the US and had my tickets only a few weeks later and at the time figured skipping the court date would'n't effect me since i live in the US.

Fastfoward, I now have a warrant for my arrest for a lot of charges, some legit, some BS but in the UK. I enlisted in the air force space program because i needed to pay off student loans and hope to work in the industry so figured i could kill two birds with one stone. I need a TS clearance, the recruiters told me not to mention the legal issues in UK that no one iwll know. Further, they did the initial check and nothing came up in the US, so they said they won't check anymore records, just check my references. and i'll be good, i was told this by a lot fo people in the recruiting office. . .
so will this open court case come out, i know there is a warrant for my arrest but it's in another country, but they know i lived there for a while with school and all so won't they check it out? or is it hit or miss, they may or may not check? i saw they checked my credit report about 2 weeks ago. They did my fbi and local checks and found no warrants or issues, now i just need an interview and such. I'm still in DEP. I didn't think about it but because i'm in a field that requires a TS clearance won't they check really deep? is there a waiver for an open court case?

I tried asking the recruiters by the way at, seperate offices to top it off and they ALL keep saying it won't effect me! only if i wasn't a us citizen.

I want to come clean but i can't afford to fly to UK spend time in jail while htey process me again and all that!
and FROG good point lol, i get in get the job and then get arrested at my duty station!
