Any kind of background check by a national agency, such as FBI or NCIS, will be seen by any other agency who runs your name for a background check in the form of a "flag"...for lack of a better term . An investigation can be anything from a routine clearance investigation to a criminal activity check by a law enforcement agency. This flag must be investigated manually by the agency who is running the background check and can cause a delay of anywhere from an hour up to several business days.

That said, manufacturing a fake ID from a military ID is quite a big deal. That is a federal crime. It will likely stay with you permanently. I would talk to a lawyer.
