Air Force Category 2 Criminal Offenses

AFRS Instruction 36-2001, Air Force Recruiting, lists the below offenses as Category 2 Moral offenses. This list is just a guide. The Air Force will consider violations of a similar nature or seriousness as a Category 2 offense. When in doubt, the Air Force will consider any offense in which local law allows for confinement for a year or more as a Category 2 offense. A conviction or adverse adjudication for any of the offenses listed is disqualifying for entry into the Air Force. The waiver approval authority is a recruiting group commander or vice commander.
