None of San Diego DUI defense attorney Rick Mueller's United

resulting in a plea to .08% BAC only: (1) upon dismissal
of critical penalty enhancements including a prior California
DUI conviction and a Refusal to take a chemical test (which
otherwise carries mandatory jail time), and (2) upon dismissal
of felony assault with a deadly weapon with a vehicle for

the civilian side.
If you are in the military and concerned about your Commander

CO a "Not Guilty" letter pointing out:
* Attorney Mueller will personally appear in court for you,
* Your constitutional protections include the "Presumption
of Innocence" in this San Diego DUI case,
* There presently exists no evidence of any guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt, and
* Lawyer Mueller will vigorously defend your DUI charge
so that it is not on your record!
This San Diego DUI consequence
list is probably not all inclusive, and not all actions
will be taken in every San Diego DUI case, but the ultimate
consequences could be severe.
There are some options available to the commander and what
may result, separate and apart from the civilian disposition
of the San Diego DUI case. A top San Diego DUI defense attorney
on the civilian side can really help.
Here is a list of common actions that the United States
Marine Corps or United States Navy may inflict on a marine,
sailor or airman, if arrested or detained for a DUI or Drunk
Driving charge in any part of the county of San Diego.
Immediate Suspension of all Favorable Personnel Actions
(Flagged):
No promotions
No leave or passes allowed
No transfer/reassignment by Permanent Change of Station
No Temporary Duty assignment
No selection to attend military schools
Relief for Cause from Duty Position with adverse Efficiency
Report filed for record.
Suspension or Termination of Security Clearance, which
bars access to sensitive equipment and information, prevents
performance of classified military duties, and causes transfer
or elimination from service.
You may need to consider these prospective security
clearance issues.
Bar to Re-Enlistment imposed, forcing discharge at end of
enlistment, ending career.
General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand filed in permanent
record.
Mandatory/Command referral to ADAPC/ASAP (Alcohol or Substance
Abuse Program).
Initiation of Reduction Board (to reduce in rank an enlisted
person) for inefficiency or inability to perform
at more senior rank.
Mandatory Separation if reduction causes Retention
Control Point to be exceeded, which sets limits on
length of service allowed for each rank. (For example, E-4/Corporal
limited to 9 yrs service, E-5/SGT = 13 years maximum and
short of retirement eligibility).
Administrative Elimination/Discharge Action, with likelihood
of stigmatizing Less than Honorable Discharge, which denies
veterans benefits, including Educational Assistance
(G.I. Bill)
Quality Management Program review initiates discharge as
less qualified for retention.
Upon Discharge, likely to be stigmatized with Re-Enlistment
Code of RE-3 or RE-4, which prevents re-entry into military
service (even in the Reserve Forces), despite a successful
rehabilitation period, effectively preventing later qualification
for retirement eligibility based on years of accrued service.
Punitive action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(10 U.S. Code 801 et seq.)
Article 15 (Non-Judicial Punishment action) imposed by
Commanding Officer, which may include reduction in rank,
forfeitures of pay, restrictions on liberty, and extra (fatigue-type)
duty.
Court-Martial, which may impose confinement, forfeitures,
reduction in rank, and either a Bad Conduct Discharge or
Dishonorable Discharge, both of which are stigmatizing and
disqualifying for military and veterans benefits.
