Underage Drinking Fears (Merged)

[Leeworthy]

I think you OK

 

[ArmedAndUseless]

Short answer is no.

I just recently went through it, have consumed alcohol many more times than you, and my application is still rolling along just fine. If you were a crippled alcoholic at 16 it would be a different story, but twice seems quite minute. Don't stress it and keep focused on the rest of the process.

Good Luck.

Thank you for the response, I'm very relived to hear that!

Hello,
I am 17 years old and I have admitted on the substance abuse forms to drinking a glass of wine for christmas(under parental supervision).
Will this mess me over and force me and my application to be terminated?
Thanks and Hoorah Canada!

Are you being serious?  If so, no you'll be fine.

The rest of us are all perfect angels. Everyone of us. Never did a single naughty thing in our lives.

Relax.

[Jules Gittens]

Can my application be terminated because I admitted that I have drank under age once(17)?

 

[ModlrMike]

No.

Welcome to Army.ca, Jules Gittens.

It appears you may not have read "the rules of the road" here -- posting the same question more than once is considered spamming, something we don't like to see.

Happy to help you learn here, but please follow the rules - and patience is a virtue worth learning if you want to be in the military.

Thanks.

Army.ca Staff

If they really REALLY cared about all of the silly (read:illegal) things we all did in our teens, just about NONE of us would have valid security clearances.

When I had my interview with a CSIS agent for my Top Secret security clearance, I had a casual chat with the agent after about the questions and he flat out told me that they don't care about the stupid things we did as teenagers, as long as we've shown that we've matured and aren't, well, stupid anymore.

I had a guy i used to work with add stuff to the list that wasnt there....and he got in.

No one gives a shit about your underage drinking...we have all done it.

The other discussion you started on Underage Drinking in "Medical/interview help required". ( Locked )
"I drank alcohol once before on christmas (homemade wine) and I am currently 17 years old(thus underage)."

OP: "I'm currently 16, and asked if a glass of champagne on New Years counted (in 2014 and 2015 my family celebrated Xmas and New Years holidays in the Caribbean, and to ring in the New Year those times, my parents gave each of us a glass half full with champagne. I'm the youngest, the other two are adults; this was not a case of bad parenting I promise), and he said yes so I put down and X in the alcohol column, for consumption rate I put 1 x year, and the date range 12/2014 - 12/2015, and said I had it twice."

That's some solid honesty right there bud! I wouldn't worry about it at all buddy, best of luck through your process!

I didn't think much of it at the time, it was a small amount to celebrate a special occasion; I didn't see why it'd be a big deal. However, my parents got stressed when I told them, saying how I'm a minor and all that. Should I be concerned? Could my application be denied over this?

I do apologize for that, I was new to the site (asked one question previously but did not frequent it) and was unfamiliar with the policy to do the searching beforehand. I do fully agree with that rule, and since then all questions I've had (I've had a lot) have been answered by searching this site rather than posting.  I'm on here daily now and can assure you that I will not make any more repeat questions. I am also making sure to check with recruitment when the need arises.

No need to apologize, as far as I am concerned. 

I was just wondering how many pages this discussion would be if they ever raised the drinking age back up to 21?  ;D
