Personally, I'd keep that part of my background on the "down-low" around military pilots. They might not think you were part of the team.
I've never had a dui but I've seen too many guys busted during the two block drive from the club to base housing.
Or had my designated driver dance a jig in the snow, then dragged down to the police station only to blow a zero point zero BAC, while I was locked up in the back of the cruiser.
And don't think that it has NO effect. It used to have less effect but it's pretty much career suicide these days.
But if you're the CEO of US Airways...
How true!!! Skycops are always itching to get someone. A bud of a bud decided not to drive and walked the 2-3 blocks back from an assignment night, only to be picked up by the cops of public intox. Same team, right guys?
Not to mention they are the the ones stealing sh!t from all over base a night! Or the classic, Skycop off duty comes through the gate wasted and instead of getting a DUI, he/she gets a ride home!
To add to the orginal question. I know a guy in UPT for a guard fighter unit with a DUI. It doesn't help but it's not impossible. As far as the civilian route, it isn't a career killer but again it doesn't help.
