SPC Norris, you are being counseled today to reflect your actions over the past weekend and to inform you of the actions I require of you. On 11 January, 2018, you were taken into custody for a potential DUI where SSG Roberts was required to pick you up from Fort Campbell Provost Marshall.

If you are convicted of a DUI, you may be punished with penalties including fines, jail, and driver’s license suspension.
“Illegal per se” provision: Degree of impairment is determined by the blood alcohol concentration (BAC), tested by blood, breath, or urine. With a BAC of 0.08% or more, a person will be presumed under the influence. This is considered a “per se” violation (on its face of or by itself). This means that it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC at that level, even if there is no evidence that the person’s ability to drive is actually impaired. The BAC limit for commercial drivers is 0.04%, and for persons under age 21 it is 0.02%.
Implied Consent Law: Implied Consent means that when a person operates or is in physical control of a vehicle, he has been deemed to consent to one or more tests of blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining alcohol concentration or presence of a substance which may impair one’s driving ability.
