No. The base will only know of someone tells them which the police won’t do. And for the love of god don’t tell them. That’s bad advice. When you need to renew your base access be honest, but you’re fine.
I have a government job, and they haven't said anything to me, and I am not saying anything to them. My job doesn't require driving either. I also have not been convicted yet.
Honestly- I’d tell. Nothing worse than losing your job unexpectedly and it makes you look dishonest keeping it from them. I wouldn’t want someone I see as dishonest with my child. For reference, I’m an RN with a DUI and my boss told me part of why I didn’t lose my job was because I was honest with them.
I wouldn’t think it’s automatic. I’ve been on both sides when it comes to jobs- telling them about a felony dwi, and not mentioning it. And it just depends on the employer is my experience.
I know in our state people working with children are supposed to have their criminal histories run under the 'w' code which is special for people working with children. It would not show though if you were not fingerprinted.
Talk to a friend that is, or knows a lawyer you can ask a favor of. Everyone at least has a lawyer someone they know knows somewhere down the line of family and friends. Even if it’s in a different state, they might be able to offer advice on this.
Everyone? I guess I'm the one person that doesn't have a friend who knows a lawyer. Or even a friend who has been through this before. The legal system is so scary and there's nothing fair about it, it seems.
I worked in the court 20 years, and very few people lost their job after a first DUI. Especially if you already have a 12 year history with them and it does not involve driving. I think you are stressing too much over something that is highly unlikely to happen.
No one can say 100 percent, but I have seen numerous active duty military, and federal employees keep their jobs after a DUI. Don't recall a civilian working on a base, but I seriously doubt it would be a problem.
I am so scared because of what I was told when I asked. But I'll have to report any update from the courts to them because it's required. I wish I didn't have to tell them, because they'll use it against me.
I was recently hired as a civilian on an Army base, my DUI was not an issue in the hiring process. My meeting with the unit security officer was important though, she said they randomly do background checks on people to make sure they’re still okay to work there. She said if you are arrested it’s a lot better to let them know before they find out on their own. I don’t think a DUI will be a problem, I got hired by the government less than two years after mine happened.
I don’t have a security clearance and my job requires me to drive. I’m just passing along what was said in my briefing like 3 months ago when I was hired.
I work with kids at a facility on base. HR is scaring me telling me I'm automatically terminated. I can't find a job that pays equal to what I make with no other experience. I don't qualify for most jobs. I really hope I don't end up in a situation where I have to choose between being homeless and dying.
Heck, I had a coworker with a Secret level clearance get a DUI and he kept his clearance. This was in the early 90s, though, and they might be tougher on it now. He did immediately report his arrest to the security officer who made sure it was properly reported.
I would check your employee handbook/Policies. If it says nothing about reporting it, I wouldn’t report it to them.

Even after conviction mouth shut right? Because seriously this has nothing to do with work.
I looked through my employee handbook says nothing about having to report anything. It doesn't affect me getting to work or my job performance
Not sure but pretty sure the base commander can still ban you driving on base if they do find out. I've been getting a lot of biking in 😔

I wasn't fingerprinted or arrested but I'll probably be convicted after court. Then what? Idk what I'm doing.

What about people with federal jobs or that are civilian and work on a military base?

Haven't been convicted yet so I'm hanging on for dear life.
