No. But it is better to refer yourself than to have your command tell you to go. There is nothing wrong with getting help if you need it. It shows you are mature and recognize a problem that needs attending.

It does not reflect on you negatively in any way.

This person needs treatment against alcoholism and I would like to know if he can take the treatment without loose his security clearance and/or his job.

My daughter is currently in AIT MOS 35MI, she recently got a counseling statement, on the document her sgt wrote “Recommendation for Article 92″. I looked this up online and the punishment seems really bad. She told me she has to go to UCMJ. The act she commited was as follows: Off duty, in uniform on base, drinking with other soilders in training, she got alcohol poisoning and was found face down in the mud by her sgt. who then rushed her to emergency. Can someone please tell me what can possibly happen to her from here? She also told me she will be chaptered out and will have to go to a Alcohol Abuse Program on post, the chaptering out was not officially documented yet. Based on my research online I am losing my mind back home worried sick that she does not end up in military prison. Does anyone have any information on what might happen to her? Please help.

Last month a dear close friend of mine passed aways. During that time Alcohol seem to be the answer I needed to forget the lose. Mental Lapse on my part and boom DUI. It is uncharacteristic of me and I don’t want to affect me later on the road. It doesn’t help that I am in the service as well. My life seem such a shabble right now and I can’t even deal with interaction with others.
It’s been almost 2 months and time has not made it better. I still feel depress and questioning if I do need counseling or not. I stop drinking since the incident and seeking help might jepordize my military career.
My mind is chaos and I don’t know what to do.
Any information in San Diego that can be useful, referral?
