Whether or not this affects your application to USAFA, a felony is a serious crime, that if convicted can follow you around as an adult for a long time. But you have not been convicted of anything yet -- as I read your post, you haven't even been charged yet. Even if charged, there may be things that can be done/negotiated to reduce that charge or charges. You don't identify the "person" who told you this would be a felony -- depends on where you live, but, in most places, the police make a charging recommendation to the District Attorney's office which actually determines what charges, if any, should be filed. You need a lawyer now --regardless of your future college plans and what impact a conviction might have on those plans -- a felony conviction can affect not only college plans, but work applications, your hireability, etc. even in the civilian world. You need your parents involved to help you, if possible, in finding a lawyer. Discuss these issues with your parents and your lawyer -- for now, your big issue is whether you are going to be charged with a felony crime and if yes, what are the potential penalties if convicted. As for USAFA --it's mid-March -- this kind of criminal case might drag on for a while -- decisions re notifications about charges, etc. will need to be made as soon as you, your lawyer and parents know if/what you are being charged with.
