Still looking toward prime, the recruiter says my past shouldn't be a problem at all due to they are so old. But I also don't to get to Springfield just to be sent home.

Basically don't lie and don't try to hide anything because they will find out. They do a preliminary background check before inviting you to orientation and a more thorough one at orientation. If you told your recruiter everything and you get invited to orientation, you should not worry about being sent home because of your background checks.
