"Why did I lose my military driver's license if I was not convicted of a DUI?"
A conviction of a DUI or DWI is not required by the Armed Forces in order to implement military penalties. The military reviews each case and decides if administrative penalties should still be imposed. If you were acquitted in a civilian court of the DUI on a technical defect, for instance, a military court may still deem that there was enough evidence to uphold the arrest for drunk driving, and sanction you for the behavior, despite the acquittal.
Possible Consequences of a Military DUI
A conviction for a military DUI can result in many civilian penalties, including the loss of a driver's license, fines and jail time. In addition, penalties may be assessed by the military that will affect your future as a member of the Armed Forces. These can include:
- The loss or restriction of on-base driving privileges. In California, you can lose your military driver's license on the allegation of a DUI, even without a conviction.
- The immediate suspension of favorable personnel actions.
- The loss of future promotions or ranks.
- The restriction of access to outside a base or post and the restriction of leave or military passes.
- The loss of transfers or reassignments by means of a permanent change in duty station.
- Suspension or termination of military service, including a dishonorable discharge.
