    DUI: What it really costs

    When an Airman receives a DUI charge, they are eligible to receive both a civilian conviction if caught off base, as well as a punishment given at their commander’s discretion. The final sentence could cost thousands of dollars in fines, suspension of their license, negative paperwork, administrative demotion, and possible loss of career or reclassification.
  • Senior Airman Caleb Green and Airman Bryce Willsey simulate the walk-and-turn portion of the field sobriety test Dec. 10, 2014, on Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. The FST consists of three different portions and is used to test a subject who is believed to be intoxicated. During the walk-and-turn portion, the subject is asked to walk nine steps in a straight line, heel-to-toe, and then turn around and walk in the opposite direction in the same fashion with the same number of steps. Green is a 319th Security Forces Squadron base defense operations control controller/patrolman. Willsey is a 319th SFS alarm monitor. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Bonnie Grantham)

    DUI through a Defender’s eyes

    One quiet night while on shift, a security forces patrol leader and her partner witness a car rolling through the stop sign at a nearby intersection. With vehicle lights flashing, they initiate a traffic stop. After approaching the vehicle and requesting the required documentation – government I.D., driver’s license, registration and insurance card -- the patrol leader notices the odor of alcohol wafting out of the vehicle. The driver’s speech sounds slurred as he clumsily fumbles for his government I.D., which shows him to be an Airman. The defender suspects the Airman has been drinking and driving.
