2 years ago I was arrested for DUI and plead guilty to BAC over .08%. I was also arrested for domestic violence but I will most likely plead guilty to Disturbing the Peace.

Oh, yes. What else do you expect??
If you self report chances are better to keep it. If you don’t report and they find out (and they will find out) you will absolutely lose it and you may also be arrested and charged with a felony for failing to do so.
I know a federal officer who was fired for failing to report a DUI, and a federal agent who got promoted to the senior supervisory position in the agency after a DUI.
The DV situation will need to be resolved in court and your agency will need to make a determination, based on guidelines and the specific facts of your case.
