You can bet any security clearance you have or want will be affected greatly

If the spouse has a record, you can also depend on them not being hired by FMWR or as a DA/DOD civilian employee.

Steady! Be professional and fully aware of his background . SPC (Join to see)

One of the kids’ from the old neighborhood went to a Psychologist
for confirmation of success and long term prospects before he married his second wife.

Current cost and delay is nothing compared to long term havoc!

EDIT — Bobbie also had the prospective bride undergo compatabile testing.

Yes it could have implications. He might not be allowed on a military installation, it could effect your security clearance process. If you get orders overseas it is almost impossible for him to get command sponsorship (not even to mention a U.S. passport). Being married to a criminal like this is not all that conducive to a military lifestyle.
