I was in the USAF as Security Forces (A Cop basically) from 2004-2008. With my experiance this is what I can tell you. Chances are if he has been in trouble with tardiness or alchohol related incidents, he would not deploy. Things like this reflect on an Airman in a negative manner. The USAF only wants to deploy those with a clean record for the most part. He is most likey going through some type of disciplinary action, rehabilitation, or therapy.

I would go to the Luke AFB web site and find the base operator number. Find out if you can speek with his first sergeant.
