If a veteran was to receive a DUI/DWI (ETS) when will they be eligible for reenlistment or is this up to the recruiter?

PFC Rayshad Washington I would gather all of your records and talk to a recruiter.

Can I Still Join the Army If I Have a DWI Conviction?
A DWI, driving while intoxicated, conviction may pose a challenge, but doesn't necessarily eliminate you from joining the Army. According to the website Military.com, some crimes are essentially automatic disqualifiers. Others require that a recruitment officer submit a waiver on your behalf to gain enlistment.

Regardless of your Reentry code, you're going to need a waiver for your DUI.

You can look at your RE-code and get an idea as to whether you will ever be able to enlist again and when.

PFC Rayshad Washington - Oh ok, after you have finished serving whatever time and you are off probabtion, go ask your local recruiter. They should know what the current regs say about that.

SGT Joseph Gunderson one of my old unit mates went active after getting a dui in the reserves and went to a local recruiter and got in but the recruiter I currently asked have told me to come back when the regs have changed

PFC Rayshad Washington you could attempt to contact a different recruiter but it may be that standards are such at the moment where they won't take you. The reqs for enlistment change all the time.

I can tell you this, things have changed. In the Air Force now, specifically Security Forces, if you go to enlist with a DUI/DWI (any) you will be told thank you, no. In 2016 things changed and the language now says "May Never Have Been Convicted....". If currently serving, you will have a tough road, because the language calls for the removal from the career field.
