how can you get in the air force with a criminal background?

If you have a felony, you can't. If you have misdemeanors, you'll have to talk to a recruiter about it. Depending on how recent and how severe they are, you may or may not be able to get in. Considering how the AF is overmanned right now and there are plenty more qualified candidates wanting in, I wouldn't count on it.
