I got a DUI this weekend. I'm probably facing the QSP board based on what my first sergeant told me. Is this something that can be overcome? I am set to get looked at for 7 next year.

I'm no longer in but when I was (4 years ago so it's been a minute), a DUI was a way out. Probably should start looking at insurance premiums now because it's way expensive once you exit those gates for the last time....

Todays Army, I would say your career is over. I would be planning for your exit.

Joseph, I think that the possibility of making SFC is not going to happen, at least not in the near future. It was a bad decision and you will be scrutinized from above obviously, but as a STAFF NCO, you might also and probably lose confidence from those below you. Those youngsters need to be able to trust and confidence in their NCOs. Bad decision, wish you the best though.

I am not going to lecture you on the morality of driving under the influence. I will tell you that it would probably be in your best interest to talk to legal and not share anything more about this on social media. Every situation is different , we have all made mistakes in life. Learn from this and don’t let it be a situation that is the beggining of worse things. About 15 years ago, when I was a young SSG in Germany. I saw a peer go from E6 to E5 to E4 to E1 to chapter. It was sad to watch, because the guy was a genuine good guy that made some bad decisions. It started after a DUI.

Its a zero tolerance here on fort bliss in 1st Sustainment Bde. Automatically initiate separation regardless of rank. Junior Enlisted get hammered to the wall for this and for senior leaders it's the same thing.

As others have said, you're definitely not going to get looked at for your 7 next year. Prepare yourself to be completely removed from the military for your selfish and stupid decision. And you deserve it. Sorry, no other way to put it than to be harsh. You did exactly what you told junior-enlisted soldiers not to do and you deserve everything that comes your way. The military doesn't need NCOs that make these kinds of decisions.

Oh Listen to you BUCK Sergeant!! Glad you showed up! What are you a barracks lawyer?? Do you personally know this NCO? Then you don't know What he deserves, nor do you know what he told his Soldiers unless you were one of them and stood in his formation, so let me tell you what YOU deserve pal, unless you have some words of advice, then why don't you STFU!! Are you Jesus H christ? I'm sure you've stepped on your pee pee a time or two.. he will be scolded and punished plenty by his chain of command!! I'm sure he's plenty embarrassed and ashamed of himself for hi actions WITHOUT your BS Tough guy comments!! So Again, unless you have some experience or some good advice for the guy, Shut Your pie hole buddy!!
