in reply to Jason Burns .. the people that took the test and failed must
be pretty dumb .. Both my mother and father took the test and past ...
in my mothers test there was 24 people and only 3 failed... and my
father there was 19 and only 1 failed... So to all of you people don‘t
worry about your marks .. You only need to worry about them if your
applying for a technical trade.. The army won‘t be too picky, especially
since the numbers are so low ... bye for now .. Shawn Barber

If you are monitoring this page there has been some considerable

I know this question has been asked b4, but does anyone know approximately
how long it takes to be shipped off to basic ? I handed in all my paperwork
about 2 weeks ago.

Recruiting Woes
The system has sure changed over the years. I read the inserts in this
forum from aspiring soldiers and can almost feel their frustration and
anxious waiting. Here‘s one for you. 23 April, 1964 I arrived at the
recruiting centre on St.Clair Ave in Toronto at 0900hrs. Between then and
1200hrs I had been shipped up to 6 Personnel Depot and completed my
testing. Shortly after 1400hrs I had completed my medical and by 1600hrs was
on a special four day leave from the Canadian Army Regular.

Well, if this is in fact an interested applicant who may just have a former
problem with substance abuse, I‘ll bite.
If this is another Burgess, consider yourself COMPLETELY told off.
I was told that if you‘ve used drugsspecifically pot within the last 6
months, the medic who does your medical exam will be capable of detecting
such use. However, apparently your body is completely rid of traces of the
substance after 6 months.
I personally wouldn‘t recommend you advertising such use through a medium
such as this, and definitely do not lie about your ‘partaking‘ during your
interview with the CFRC Offr... Be completely honest. Guys like me, whom
you‘re going to be rubbing shoulders with, deserve to have competent mates
when the going gets tough.
It sounds, tho‘, that this was strictly a thing of the past...
That being best case scenario.

Good question!
Why should the Forces hire a doper?
Being honest enough to admit it may well be an extenuating circumstance,
admittedly...because if you are both a doper and a liar, that‘s plainly at
least one strike too many....
But if it was my butt on the line, and I was being caused to execute a
Command Decision that was made by someone that was known for substance
abuse, poor judgement, mental problems, or whatever other excuse led to
unlawful experimentation with narcotics...
Well, leave that thought hang, shall we?
Does the CF hire people to be Privates? No, not really...they hire them to
be all they can be...meaning they WANT to promote extend and get all they
can out of every individual.
So someone that would break laws, lack a self control in making that
"experimentation" in an illegal drug, whatever, must be viewed with some
askance...
Now, its not heroin, will give you that, and its possibly not immedately
addictive, and certainly more than one individual has come back from it...so
being honest would give you a pretty good head start on gaining any
forgiveness available...
But if you "did the stuff", and failed to admit it, well the System is
especially unforgiving to liars....and in my view, rightly so....
Not that I make the rules...
John

I guess that I have to echo. The system is extremly unforgiving for liars
and the tests will find you out anyway. Admit the last time you used it and
for God‘s sake don‘t do it again. Once you are in you could very well wind
up in 7 CFSD military prison.

John - I agree with your opinion, but not your substantiation. Illegal?
Irresponsible? Poor judgment? Maybe this is hallowed ground, but I saw many
a soldier - OR, Snr NCOs, and, yes indeed, Officers, drive while impaired,
and/or otherwise abuse alcohol during my 13 years in the Armed Forces.
Though not as heavily enforced as it is these days.. at the time, it was
illegal DUI. It also exhibited poor judgment, and irresponsibility. I
don‘t know what the answer is, but selective enforcement of existing laws
certainly isn‘t one in my book. By the way, I am not without sin, so don‘t
consider this a cast stone.....I just plain don‘t like potheads, or any
other dopers.. I look forward to experiencing the barrage, not unlike the
ones John usually endures....
Gawd.. I‘m sounding more like a hippie, every day

Well, Mac...
I can agree that it seems pretty flimsy if utter "common sense" is applied
regrettably, I live in a province where "Common Sense" is the government
theme...and everyone gets their butt kicked...having made this "political
statement"...well...
Sure, I saw, and likely did like likely..oh yeah over .08 driving...and
saw any number of others do the same...
Would I countenance them doing that TODAY?...Likely NOT!!!
I‘d conform to the Law of the Country...you can screw up on the alcohol
issue...but try okay soft word......"banned drugs", and if your *** is
hung and dried, I‘d say "Fair Ball"
And just for the record, the Airborne in Somalia, witness the report of the
CO and Sgt Major, well, it was beer, and it was wrong...
As a supervisory position, beer or booze is fairly easy to see on the
job...dope is not. But the effects are fairly dramatic, are they not?
Will now stand back, and take my barrage, as you suggest...

Naw, John... I think as usual.... we are in agreement, somewhere in
there.....Coincidentally, I am implementing a "drug-free work workplace"
program, where I work - for precisely the reasons you indicate - lack of
detection being one. If people saw statistics of what drug-users cost
businesses, families, and communities...........Anyway - I think,
fundamentally, we are in agreement. "There can be a lot of roads leading up
the sides of a mountain, but they all end up in the same place"

In any case, you will be required to take urine tests, and blood
tests...Metabolized THC is evident in your body for a time period
proportional to the amount of dope you have smoked.... As is cocaine,
heroin, ecstasy, and everything else they might care to test for...If
you smoke dope every day of your young life, it could take 6 months to a
year for all traces to disappear..so if you have done it..fess up and
let the chips fall.
I served with people who have since been commissionedmajors and capts
now..during training they bragged about doing dope and coke, one even
sold it....rightly or wrongly, they passed RMC, and all their training.
The scary part is, that you don‘t know what the person next to you does
in their spare time....
I will go on the record saying that alcohol consumption has had a bigger
impact on the forces, than a handful of dopers ever could. I find it
hypocritical for people to think that it is okay to consume any
intoxicant while on duty....that includes lunch hours at the mess....You
are on duty after lunch are you not......
awaiting the fallout...

In any case, you will be required to take urine tests, and blood
tests...Metabolized THC is evident in your body for a time period
proportional to the amount of dope you have smoked.... As is cocaine,
heroin, ecstasy, and everything else they might care to test for...If
you smoke dope every day of your young life, it could take 6 months to a
year for all traces to disappear..so if you have done it..fess up and
let the chips fall.
I served with people who have since been commissionedmajors and capts
now..during training they bragged about doing dope and coke, one even
sold it....rightly or wrongly, they passed RMC, and all their training.
The scary part is, that you don‘t know what the person next to you does
in their spare time....
I will go on the record saying that alcohol consumption has had a
bigger impact on the forces, than a handful of dopers ever could. I find
it hypocritical for people to think that it is okay to consume any
intoxicant while on duty....that includes lunch hours at the mess....You
are on duty after lunch are you not......
awaiting the fallout...

Dave really explained the drug testing well, but I what chaps my *** is this
After enrolled, and cleared as far as drug usage is concerned, one is bound
only by his word is he not? Is there any further REGULAR testing after the
initial medical exam, or is it left up to, "No, Sir... I‘m clean"...???
Don‘t know how readily I‘d take the word of a guy who clearly has
compromising integrity in the first place.

Just de-lurking briefly...
I know several people in the Forces about 4 of them who are very good
friends who, when they were ‘young and crazy‘ smoked pot, back in the
70s when they were in high school.
They admitted to such during their interviews now granted, this was
back in the 80s, so I daresay recruiting has changed since then and
they were accepted - they just had to be able to honestly say that they
had not touched the stuff in years and would never do so again.
So, at least in the past, the CF accepted people who were honest about
their past experiences with drugs. Whether this is still the case
today, I have no idea.

I saw some numbers I teach Human Resources Management at a college in
Edmonton that say drugs cost Americans about $30 billion per year.
