Facts about Military DUI charge »
There are differences among Military DUI charge and civilian DUI charge. If you are in military and have been caught for DUI then you have to keep in mind that the process and consequences of a Military DUI charge can be much different than someone who faces a civilian charge. So here I have mentioned some important differences that you need to understand when you’re dealing with a Military DUI charge.
Fact # 1: Alcohol Intoxication Limit for a military DUI
A military court can use the state’s legal blood alcohol limit for a military DUI for the members of the military. However, this does not happen every time, as military courts aren’t limited to the state’s legal limit. If in case you have a blood alcohol limit that is lower than the state’s legal limit, but if the military court feels that it was enough to impair your ability to operate a vehicle, then you can still be charged with a military DUI.
