If an individual receives a DUI, it should be mentioned specifically on his or her NCOER. You may not mention disciplinary action such as an Article 15 or a Letter of Reprimand; you should, however, mention the offense that led to the disciplinary action.
Consider using something similar to one of these example bullets:
- Used poor judgment by operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol
- Apprehended for driving with a blood alcohol content of 1.5 (.07 above the legal limit)

Retired helping a Soldiers
I would definitely mention the DUI, Personally I would rate it under the responsibility and accountability, as a needs improvement. If the Soldier is otherwise excellent, their performance is otherwise not affected and they don’t let it interfere with their duties; I would rate them accordingly in the remainder of the evaluation. You want to evaluate the NCO appropriately based on the year, not on the lack in judgement.

I think putting it on the NCOER or OER is the right thing to do. The event shows a serious lack of judgement. Just my two cents.

Even with the case still being resolved in court, you would not give a soldier the chance at due process of the law?

James,
Perhaps the questions should be worded better. This assumes the Soldier was convicted of a DUI. Usually comments will not be made regarding legal issues that are not fully adjudicated.
Thanks for your feedback!
