  3. One Cost of DUI:Loss of Base Sticker • Your sticker can get scraped for a variety of reasons, mostly related to traffic safety. • When you rack up up too many points for various violations on base. • Reckless driving or speeding 20 miles per hour over the limit costs you six points. • Talking on a cell phone is worth three points. • DUIs mean at least an automatic year without base driving privileges.

  4. How the Navy FindsOut About DUIs • Commands generally rely on the “blotter” report from local law enforcement to learn about these arrests.

  5. What HappensNext? • The Command Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor (DAPA) interviews the Sailor • Fills out a screening package (including a recommendation for treatment) • Delivers it to a Medical Treatment Facility to set up an appointment

  6. What HappensNext?, cont. • The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Management Information Tracking Systems (ADMITS) keeps track of all alcohol-related incidents in a Sailor's career • Command DAPAs have access to this information • Officer DUIs are reported to PERS 83 and stay in service records permanently.

  7. What Arethe Punishments? • Various penalties in civilian court • Non-judicial punishment (NJP) • UCMJ Art. 111 (drunk driving) or 112 (drunk on duty) are appropriate offenses • It may also be appropriate to administratively separate the Sailor.

  8. What Arethe Punishments? • Skippers discipline Sailors based on their potential for future useful service (free of any further alcohol-related incidents)

  9. Considerations forCommanding Officers • The Sailor’s disciplinary history, including prior alcohol-related offenses • Seriousness of the offense(s) • The Sailor’s blood alcohol content (BAC) when arrested • Injuries to the Sailor and/or other parties • Property damage caused by the Sailor’s DUI

  12. “My DUI” –What Sailors Said • “Having no idea what is going to happen to your Navy career—or whether you’re going to continue to have one—is nerve-wracking.” • “People look at me differently, and I’m not treated as the up-and-coming petty officer I used to be treated like by those who do not know me well.” • “I have put massive strain on my peers, work center, squadron, and family.”
