Everyone joining the military now days has a background check done on them, this "tech check" taking about 3 days. Criminal records are looked at extensively, not just convictions but charges as well. Certain combinations or even single incidents depending on the law violation determines the enlistment elgibility. There really is no way to check what kind of groups someone has been associated with unless its by tattoos which are also checked or if it comes up in the background check. As with anything else there are ways to beat the system. The checks are there, it all depends on what shows up on them and how much a recruiter will ignore just to make quota.
