It has long been an inside joke (for lack of a better term) that "zero tolerance" in the CF is far from it.
It is extremely rare statistically in the last decade to get the boot right out the door for drug use. There are three levels of disciplinary action taken against a member (multiple terms because they've been named lots of different things):
1. Initial / Verbal (ironically "verbal" must be written);
2. Formal / Written / Recorded; and
3. Counselling and Probation.
(Level 4 if there were one would be release from the CF).
Usually something like a Drunk Driving charge will land someone on level 2. Something like poor performance at work will be level 1 to start. Theoretically things can be serious to send a member to immediate release such as drug use because it's "zero tolerance", but the vast majority of cases I have seen have gone to L3 and the member has stayed in the forces.
It's not rank dependent either. Three years ago a deploying infantry officer failed his drug test and was kicked off the tour, but was actively employed on the rear party and not released.
Hey PM, thank goodness its zero tolerance here, seen it in action many times. :nod:
Hey Tess, those 'chicks' are sure ugly. It would have to be a very VERY dark night and/or a very VERY long deployment both scenerios fueled by my 'fren' Jack ;D
Cheers,
