You need to get a good defense attorney in that area and see what can be done.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The fact that you blew a .10 after drinking the night before is troublesome. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Get yourself a lawyer who knows the federal magistrate court system and the process for prosecution and defense of on-base DWIs. Former JAGS have often been on the prosecution side of these cases, so you might consider looking for one of them. There's real hope of avoiding jail time.

If you were pulled over on a Hawaii military installation, you need an aggressive attorney quickly. Especially if you have a prior DUI. Call the office ASAP. There could be questions regarding the SFSTs and the intoxilyzer. Don't just plead out.

If convicted, you willl loose your license and go to jail. I can't advise further because I do not know your criminal history.

I would suggest that you immediately engage an attorney. This DUI on a military base will most probably end up to be a federal charge.
