Honestly, if I were your recruiter, I wouldn't take you. If you were busted for a DUI while active duty, you would have been charged by civilian law and the UCMJ. It's nothing to take lightly.

Iman Miles - That wasn't an accident, Iman. Getting hit by an asteroid is an accident. Catching a DUI is a wilful disregard for other people. You could have killed someone. Don't try to pass it off as a minor mistake, like you forgot to turn off the stove.

SSgt (Join to see) not trying to pass it off as minor I know it’s a very serious thing I’ve had family members die from that but I’m not some alcoholic nor was I drunk I learned from it it will never happen again my dads a officer I’m ashamed and I take all the consequences and understand if I don’t get in

READ Kelly. Lack of in my day 73, some judges still have the option of joining or trial. These days they are likely to throw the book at him for enlisting. Nothing was said he was guilty, or is your Constitution different than mine?

Damn Lady, Who appointed you my guardian? What you think of judges sending folks into the service is immaterial, because it was/has been done all the way up to the 70's, maybe from as early as the 1800's- that is history, our history. Do you not see the news where Vets are losing their homes after fighting with HOA's on flying the flag- Memorials that have stood to honor our dead being ordered taken down by judges? I was saying that the days of judges perhaps allowing slack SEEMS to be replaced by many that think we should not be allowed on the grass! I have 2 judges in my Legion Post- yet they themselves have problems with fellow judges over handling Vets. His own recruiter in the same area advised against playing a Military card- probably for the same reason. As for the Constitution- YOU ARE CONSIDERED INNOCENT TILL FOUND GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW!. Oh by the way- my Patriotism or definition is not in question- my family as been serving this country since the French and Indian War- I lost 3 cousins in SVN (68) my dad was WWII, and my son-law is retired and my grandson is serving his 2nd hitch in the Army- NOW please get off my cloud- Thank you for your service.

Get a lawyer and he might get it dropped or reduced. Plan on paying at least $1500.00. Never face a judge without a lawyer for any offense.
