What are the militarys penalties for DUI?
Any soldier apprehended for DUI on or off post will receive a General Officers Memorandum of Reprimand, which may be permanently placed in the soldiers Official Military Personnel File. Also, the soldier may face UCMJ action, which may include six months in prison, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and a Bad Conduct Discharge. The bottom line is: dont drink and drive. Use a designated driver or call a taxi-cab or a friend if you have been drinking and need a ride home. The penalties you will face and the hardships your family will suffer are not worth the risk.
