Jesus...Beginning to sound like the US army in the '70's!
This needs to be cleaned up...The problem that is.

PPCLI Guy said:Ok - how? Without resorting to mandatory testing, how do we go about fixing it?
How about testing for cause, whenever there is doubt? How about professional soldiers "narcing" on the unprofessional ones?

CFL said:Mandatory monthly drug tests ought to fix it in the short term. Do that for a year then start doing random tests. Send the dogs in the shacks, heck send them through the PMQ's. Oh BTW have the RCMP conduct the above. Any offenders put them in DB for 6 months min.
This is always available. A service member can approach the chain of command or seek help through the CF medical system.EXNovie said:If drug usage is as serious a problem with the CF as one may be led to believe, I suggest a one week force wide period of grace to turn oneself into ones chain of command so that treatment can begin and recovery to becoming an effective...drug free... member again, without fear of release.
GO!!! said:The Charter of rights does not prohibit the Chain of command from entering your room without you present, and yes, it happens - Sgts and up do it when they want to. So how could it possibly protect you from a dog search - which is done in High Schools?
MP 00161 said:The courts have made it very clear that just because you join the CF doesn't mean you give up any of your Charter Rights.
Well, nobody has mounted a Charter challenge against that yet though, give it some time! >Infanteer said:heck, the contract allows for the principle of unlimited liability

Shacks, someone correct me if I'm wrong, They are storeage containers outside the Base Main Gate for the use of personnel to store unnecessary gear or prohibited items ?. ( there like shipping containers in appearance).
Before anyone dies of laughter, my presumption was based on "CTDs" description of the location of the theft of his ATV, "Olly container - milk crates - ATV - shacks" ( in my day we referred to our quarters as the Hut, Re: "H" Huts and later the Banting Blocks).
According to KevinB's description of the present days quarters, the term SHACKS is certainly not complimentary but seems appropriate. He also makes some pretty good points
In all fairness to those that serve without blemish, it seems that other certain areas of the Army are sorely lacking in discipline. I applaud those now serving members of the MP & NIS who are faced with these conditions and restrictions.
True, however the Supreme Court has also ruled that certain curbs on those rights are demonstrably justified for service members (one such curb being the CSD applied exlusivly to service pers).MP 00161 said:The courts have made it very clear that just because you join the CF doesn't mean you give up any of your Charter Rights.
This principle would be upheld. Without it, the CF does not function.MP 00161 said:Well, nobody has mounted a Charter challenge against that yet though, give it some time! >Infanteer said:hell, the contract allows for the principle of unlimited liability
