Legal Question in DUI Law in Florida

I was arrested for a DUI and I am awaiting my arraignment. This is my first offense and can not afford an attorney. I am 100% service connected disabled veteran and think I will qualify for a public defender, however, I do not know how to plea at the arraignment. Not guilty or no contest? I blew a .22 and know that I was in the wrong but I am scared of what this out come is going to be because I know absolutely nothing of the court system. This was in Florida BTW.

Plea not guilty and the court will inquire about you getting a public defender. After speaking with your public defender, they can advise you about what to do.
