Another month and more USFK court martial statistics.  If you read the ROK criminal prosecution statistics below you will see all them are driving related to include two more DUI’s. That is 28 DUI convictions in 23 months, plus now four total DUI convictions just this year.

This tends to validate what I concluded in my recent posting that totaled the ROK criminal prosecution cases to determine that there has been an increase in off post incidents because of the fact more servicemembers are driving.

If you haven’t already make sure to read my 2008 Statistics By Unit of USFK Court Martial Results posting as well.   Below are this months court martial results:
