I got a DUI while on leave. What can I expect?

What rank are you? That makes a difference career wise. I’m a former SIGINTer and know how INSCOM units are.

better find a JAG thats versed in that part of the law. remember the uniform code of military justice has you guilty until proven innocent===

Just curious - what was the outcome? Good Luck!

I know someone that has a comparable situation and isn't sure if it will end his military career either. However, he has taken the initiative and put himself into an in-patient treatment program at the VA hospital. He hopes that might have an impact on whatever decision may follow.

Well...... you'll either be processed for discharge or you'll not be processed and be screwed for about Two to Five years or longer and not be advanced for Promotion or you'll get busted down to E-4 or less and banished to Latrine Detail.

Generally if your job is to drive a vehicle like a tank or a fire truck, and your license gets suspended, you cannot perform your job so you very well could be put out of the military or transferred to a position that does not require you to drive.

Something similar happened to me as a Sgt, Command SgtMaj told me I best get out of it and correct the situation, and I did. What I learned was a precious life lesson. Don't drink and drive, there is really no reason to do such a stupid thing!

Find a Good Lawyer, it will make all the difference in the world. dont hire the cheapest one.

I agree with the COL, and parts some of the other remarks. GOMOR could definitely be on the horizon, but again it depends on the CoC. Your security clearance will be suspended pending a relook and outcome of the charges. ASAP will be most likely automatic. Don't get down on yourself and keep your head up.

It probably won't end your career. But could be reclassified and lose your high security clearance and be reassigned to another unit. I would get a lawyer to represent you in court if you can't be there for court proceedings. More than likely you would be fined and maybe have probation time and or both. Best of luck to you.
