Question
I received a DWI approx 1.5 years ago and was wondering if this would prohibit me from getting hired with the FAA as an Air Traffic Controller.

Answer
Hi Steve,

   Sorry about the delay, but I wanted to check with the HR dept at work before I tried to answer you question.  I am afraid that I don't know.  HR was not any help either.  They suggested that you put in your paperwork and try.  

Again, Sorry but I can't help.
