What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? LA
Please dont lecture it has happened and I am going to be punished.
So, I received a DUI coming through the gate on my installation. They decided to let Federal court handle it. I was issued Federal citations for drunk driving and refusing the breath test ( later agreed to a blood test). I have hired an attorney for the Federal court, we are awaiting the report filed and BAC level. My command has charged me with arcticle 111 (Drunken or reckless driving) and 92 ( Failure to obey order or regulation). My command has removed my eligibility for advancement to E7 with a page 13 entry and an eval to reflect the same.
I am pretty certain I am going to be removed from service I have served 16 years+. If I go to NJP and my CO is gracious I will be busted down and in turn be High Year Tenure and will have to get out in 180 days but can keep some of the benefits I have worked for by hopefully keeping an honorable discharge. There is other ways to do it too, that is what scares me. What are the other ways? Can I be charged and punished twice on the same two FEDERAL charges? I dont know what will happen with the military side it the one that worries me the most. I have wasted 16+ years this is going to throw my family into financial destruction, especially if I get removed from service. I have seen 2 prior junior ARI cases get the boot at NJP. My CO doesnt play with this - period. Thanks for your consideration.
