nope. you will be unceremoniously yanked in the middle of Basic training as soon as the charges are revealed. you will also nix any chance in hell of ever getting back in, because you will be tagged with a fraudulent enlistment.. even if the criminal charges get dropped, or are not a DQ factor and a waiver would be easy to get.

If charges have not yet been filed and no police report taken, then you're free and clear to do what you want. If the police report has been filed, but the DA hasn't charged you yet, you should have the recruiter contact the DA's office and leave a message for the Deputy DA assigned to the case, advising that you have a ship date for basic and are otherwise ready to go. The DA does NOT have to talk to the recruiter, and MAY not provide any information in return. If the charges are fairly minor, the DA may simply request confirmation that you've shipped to boot, and choose not to file charges with the Courts. If the charges are more significant, say, a felony... you will probably be charged, regardless of your wish to join the military. If you're charged, appear in Court, be respectful, and take your recruiter with you. He can testify to the enlistment information, and the Court may be willing to work with you. In our county, the Court indicates to the DA's office how it wants to proceed.. and the DA withdraws the complaint, but reserves the right to refile it, if you don't successfully complete boot camp.

When I was a basic training company commander, I had a county sheffif show up at my office withe the Military Police to take away one of the trainees. They can still get you.
The Air Force is expecially picky now since they are actually downsizing thier numbers. Also, if you job requires a security clearance, this can stop the process, voiding your contract and allow the AF to put in any job they want, without your choice, if they even keep you. There is also the posibility of federal charges for hiding information during your enlistment.
I dont reccomend it. It will look like you are running. If you did the crime, you have to accept the concequences. In the military, its the same.

I don't really like Rahm Emanuel but I don't see what law or laws that the man has broken. Just saying that he is maybe having "criminal charges" is why he is leaving is so far fetched kind of speculation that it makes me wonder if you have been smoking something. Absolutely no one on Capitol Hill, even his enemies, have serioulsy accused him of breaking any laws. And offering jobs in administrations to exit campaigns is not illegal. Most Republican and Democratic lawyers have scoffed at the idea that that is illegal. Only one senator in both houses of Congress has been trying to make a big deal out of that and it is going nowhere. Even the GOP leadership has abandoned this because their own presidents have done that. Bush's own attorney said that such a charge is meritless. If you are not a lawyer (and I can tell you are not) then you really don't have an idea of what you are talking about. The law you are implying was broken is about extortion and graft... in this offer an idea was proposed and it was declined. Simple as that. Are you telling me that simply offering a post is now illegal as long as a person is engaged in a senate race? That's ridiculous. It is very difficult to prove that such a offer is used to extort or buy a candidate off. This idea that if we hate anyone in government then he/she should go to jail is unhealthy.

If you are charged, then the local law enforcement will coordinate with the SP/MPs. You will be arrested, returned home for trial, discharged from the USAF with a minimum of a Dishonorable Discharge, PERHAPS charged by the military for falsifying your enlistment papers, your recruiter gets in trouble (big deal), and you may have ruined your chances of ever joining the services again.
Since you don't say what charges are pending, we can't tell you whether you should wait or go. Traffic ticket, for example, is no big deal. Assault, on the other hand...

Yeah, that's a bad idea. You could end up being caught in the middle of not only a civilian criminal charge, but have some serious issues with the military as well.
And to be honest, if you have any questions, the last person to ask about it is your recruiter. Talk to a JAG officer about it first. They will be up front and honest with you about the implications of the charges and their repercussions.

he is trying to fill a quota... once you are in basic, if the charges come up and you are discharged, no harm no foul for him... you on the other hand missed out... Even parking tickets have to be paid before basic training. My advice is see what happens and get a waiver if you have to. What are you being charged with? that would help people in giving you advice

If they are felony charges, you will just get sent back. Also, knowing they are coming, you could face federal charges for false enlistment.

it'll eventually catch up with you... the military is all about integrity.. you should probably get some before you join
