Question
Yes;will the army or air force take an individual who has a misdemeanor larceny charge at the age of 16?
The army will. Depending on how the charge reads and whether or not you were charged as an adult or a juvenile you may need a moral waiver to get in. Talk to a recruiter and bring all the pertinent paperwork with you so they can properly apprise you of your situation.

Expertise
I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
