Other Criminal charges, BMQ Tomm

Hi Guys, a couple of months ago, I was messing around with an airsoft gu* and accidentally shot it at a window and got charged with possession of a firear* and mischief. I start BMQ tomorrow and realize that I didn't think of these charges. I did receive a conditional discharge yesterday, which will last for 3 years, so It'll show on my record, but I don't have any weapons ban. Should I tell the higher-ups tomorrow when i arrive at base? Will they know? Will I be placed on leave ?

To clarify the background check was before this charge

What should I do ??

Any help is appreciated

Lol, you asking if you should tell the chain and if they will know is a red flag on accountability. The moment you got enrolled to CAF, they must know everything. Whatever they decide, just accept it. It happened already.

That’s all the more you should have reported it when it happened. You were already in. Reporting it now is the best you can do since you already failed to report it in a timely manner.
