I am Ensign and i recently got a dui. i went to captains mast and i got 30 days restriction, punitive letter of reprimand and detachment for cause. my skipper has endorsed the detachment for me to stay in the navy. but it stills has to go to bupers to be approved. i was wondering if it has happened to any of you and what you know about. this is my first offense of any kind. but i do not know if i am getting kicked out of the military. i am looking for some good gauge. i was tranferred TAD to another command and i am waiting for the detachment for cause to be approved to get new orders. please let me know if something like this happened to you and how this works. i am lost. i have been told that i am going to stay in by my chain of command because that is their recommendation and that is what they have seen before. but what do you guys think. please e-mail me whenever you can. i have been in the navy for nine months because i was commissioned in January 2006 and i did the BDCP for two years.
