Will a 3rd DUI conviction prevent enlistment into the Army

DUI and Enlistment: I stumbled onto your site and am impressed with the wealth of information available here. I am an attorney in Georgia, and am doing a pro bono case on behalf of a 29 yr old man who just got arrested for his 3rd DUI. He is interested in joining the army, but was told that the 3rd arrest will preclude his from being able to enlist. I have spoken with the solicitor and he seems to be willing to assit in any way possible (e.g., nolo plea or maybe reducing it to reckless). My question is how should I strucutre the plea so that my client is still able to enlist? - Is this your question? Add additional information

I am not sure the particular circumstances of your client but your query seems to answer the question itself. If client has been told that the 3rd arrest precludes his enlistment then it seems client is going to have a problem getting enlisted. If it is a conviction to a 3rd DUI that will preclude his enlistment, then you would want to secure a result that does nto involve a DUI conviction. Having said this, I would suggest that you and your client go meet with the recruiter and get a straight answer from the recruiter as to what resolution of this matter will be acceptable for enlistment
