I used to be an Air Force cop and we busted guys for DUIs all the time at Randolph AFB in the late 90s and a lot of them ended up flying for the majors.

But a DUI before the military? Forget about it, getting a UPT slot would be impossible. As a Lt I also worked in AFOATS and AFROTC and saw the process first hand.
