That question can only be answered with certainty by DA upon submission of your packet w/CofC recommendaton(s) and its request either being approved w/waiver(s) or denied.
IMO - based on the many things I saw, experienced, and learned over the years during and after my AD service - it would be doubtful that such a waiver would be granted...especially now and in the near future when the Army is planning to again 'draw down' and execute yet another RIF. All this means that right now might not be a good time to seek such a waiver and bring unnecessary attention to yourself from USAHRC.
I think you are lucky to still be with your current unit after having recieived a DUI and, if I were you, I would become the proverbial 'grey man' in the unit in regards to anything but being seen as the epitome of a motivating and professionally capable Infantryman whenever anyone mentions or hears your name.
Some choices in life are more limiting and difficult to overcome than others - good luck with yours.
