Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

My Soldier is in the trial process for DUI in the state of Washington. One of his options is deferred prosecution, which is a program that includes rigorous alcohol and drug education and counseling. The problem with this program is that a probation of 5 years is added to the mix. I don’t want my Soldier to be ineligible for promotion for 5 years if he will be flagged for the entire period of his probation. The reg on Suspension of Favorable Actions doesn’t say anything about probation from a civilian court. Anybody have any experience with this sort of thing?
