My son is home on leave for 15 days right out of sub school. In his first 3 days home he got his first ever DUI. He is leaving to his first command in San Diego in a few days. What does this mean for him? Will he get kicked out? Should we get him an attorney or does the navy handle it? I dont know what to do!! We are scared to death and have no idea what to do our expect!!!

The Navy won't handle the legal out in town, that is a civilian matter, if he wants a lawyer he should get one.  BUT he needs to call his command ASAP (both the school he left and also the command he is going to).

After he gets punished in the civilian sector the Navy will punish him also (no it isn't double jeopardy, even though it may seem like it is).

No idea what will happen to him in the Navy, but I can tell you it won't be good...showing up to a new command with a DUI he got while on leave. 

How old is he?

He called command right away after they released him. He is 22. Never been in trouble. Luvs the Navy. He is devastated.

Your not going to like my answers....

Sorry to say with a DUI, it doesn't matter how great a Sailor he is, he will get in trouble with the Navy...how much is up to the command. If they have had a lot of trouble, they could make an example of him. 

He will most likely get 45 days of restriction, 45 days of extra duty and loose 2 months pay (1/2 of each months pay for 2 months).  Also NOT a good way to start out at a new command...he will get a really bad eval, which will hurt him when he tries to go up for advancement, and it will stay on his record for 3 years.  If he is to reenlist in those next 3 years...odds are it will be denied (as he has to ask approval to stay Navy and with a DUI on his record, not good....doesn't matter what he did before that DUI...it helps a little what he does after that DUI)  Odds are he will be sent to classes for having a drinking problem (even if he doesn't think he has one, the Navy will tell him he does as he just got a DUI)  If they tell him to go to classes and he refuses, he will be separated with in a few weeks for refusing treatment.  Recommend he asks to go to the classes before they tell him to go to the classes, as that will look good on him for the new command.

Now if they want to make an example of him....they can do all of the above and than separate him.  He won't know what will happen tell he gets to his new command.  He better show up on the quarter deck to check into his new command with a perfect uniform, fresh shave and haircut, and be on full military bearing.
