History of Drunk Driving Leads to Security Clearance Denial

I have to disagree with your statement “commanders give their troops every available option to rehabilitate behavioral issues before resorting to discharge proceedings”. As someone with 40 years of intimate experience with all 4 out of the 5 military branches I can say that varies widely from service to service and decade to decade. I have found the Air Force to be a very “zero defect mentality” and the Army to be on the other end of the spectrum, with the Navy and Marines in between. I sense the Space Force to be evolving into even more “zero defect” than the Air Force.
