My roomate got picked up for DUI St. Patties day. He blew a 0.12 We've had a few too many alcohol related incidents lately and I found out we are holding an open mast (NJP) with my buddy. So on top of the civilian fines/punishments he has to face the command with whatever comes his way. I'm guessing the minimum is busted down to E-4, restriction and half months pay for two months. That's the typical punishment out captain hands out. If it truly is an example, he may face losing his NEC or getting the boot altogether. I can't afford the apartment if it comes to that.
Sad thing is, this isn't the first time he's drivin like this. I've warned him many times about this shit and we agreed that if he gets a DUI I get to punch him in the face. It was said in jest, but I'm gonna hold him up to his end of the bargain. He even gave a ride home to another friend in the barracks, but they were doing breathalysers at the gate. So he dropped him off outside base and the buddy walked in. So he knew he shouldn't have been driving. I'm fucking furious. Now the CO brings in all the E-7 & Above along with all the officers and states, "I want a policy in place by the end of the week to prevent ALL DUI's." Not sure what's going to come out of this, but I have a feeling it's going to be a pain in the ass. They're talking about liberty buddies and logs while in our home port
As for the buddy who got the ride, I can't really hold him responsible. It was his birthday and he was trashed. He didn't know night from day when he got home. My roomate was meant to be the DD for him. Luckily I chose not to go out and called it an early night due to duty the next day. So I'm not getting drug into this mess.
