Must Read for Teens & Parents of TeensIn this blog series I discuss the legal, financial, and career implications of getting a DUI as a minor.What if I don't have plans for college? I have nothing to worry about, right?Not quite. Most employers do background checks, and a eorgia DUI conviction will certainly show up there. Take heart; while the DUI never completely falls off your record , it does become less important over time. Most employers, for instance, only check three years of your driving record. Having said that, many employers will ask point blank if you have ever been convicted of a DUI. And you will have to answer "yes" if you have a DUI conviction. Does a DUI affect enrolling in the military?Federal law requires you to disclose any incidents that resulted in arrest or in charges being filed when you enlist. It does not matter how old you were when the incident happened, and it does not matter if your record has been sealed or expunged as far as the military is concerned. Sealed and expunged information only holds for civilians. One DUI arrest or conviction will not affect your ability to enlist. Two or more convictions for DWI/DUI requires a waiver in order to enlist. If one or both of the DUIs are recent, you must wait one year from the date of conviction before you can receive a waiver.
