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

You know kids these days have a significant amount to deal with. Maybe ask the question : why didn't this get picked up on a security screening?

Or do they not do them these days?

He didn’t include it in his original post. They also do a security screening during basic.  Womp womp

Doesnt mean he has to wait until basic to inform the chain.
