Well we know about the mandatory weekend training ordered by USFK Commander General Sharp because of the steep rise in incidents since he lifted the curfew.  The March 2008 court martial results give you some idea of how sharply these incidents have increased.  Incredibly there was a total of 4 DUI’s last month.  That makes 32 DUI convictions in the past 24 months and a total of 8 already this year.
