3 DUI’s, with the last two being back to back and only a year ago will be extremely difficult to overcome. Best thing “your buddy” can do is enroll in out patient alcohol treatment, complete it, and wait a few years.

So bascially what you are saying is in your professional opinion; my friend will be unable to obtain a public trust in the next 3 years because of 3 DUI(s)…
So in other words…my friend who has YEARS of experience and a MASTERS degree will be unable to pay his bills because of 3 dui(s)…and that makes sense.
Man what happened to the days when if you can do the job you are hired?
Thats kinda of like all that should matter.
So what is the thought process? Hes gona sell company secrets for alcohol?
Is that it? This is absurd…and anyone who would deny him a badge because of it is just plain morally wrong and discriminatory.
@DaveSmith001, your friend is free to apply elsewhere. U.S. Government understands that we are not perfect creatures and we are bound to make mistakes. In your friend’s case, three DUI’s in 6 years, raises serious concerns (substance abuse, personal conduct, criminal act, just to name a few) for any employer.
As @dave019 said, your friend can apply again AFTER he sought the help that he needs. This is not simply for the sake of the employer, but for the sake of his own well-being.
So . . . We have a repeat offender, someone who has shown that they do not learn from their mistakes and you wonder why he shouldn’t hold a position of public trust?
He has a problem with alcohol, continues to get behind the wheel and drive in a fashion that draws the attention of the police? Three DUIs? How many times did he do the same thing in between? How many time was he not caught?
Personal behavior plays into the work that is done at these jobs. Personal lives have been shown over and over to bleed into professional lives in bad ways.
These rules aren’t arbitrary and they aren’t some sort of secret that they don’t tell about when we first apply for clearance. They remind us regularly.
If your friend can’t follow the rules, he can’t work in the industry. That’s pretty simple and, I’m sure, was laid out for him many times over the years.

Due to unproductive comments from @DaveSmith001 that I have rejected I am locking this post down so it does not slide further down the "rabbit hole’.
