What actions are taken for the first and second Alcohol Incidents (AIs)?

The correct response is that the first Alcohol Incident (AI) requires administrative action and counseling, while the second AI leads to discharge. This approach reflects the importance of early intervention and the opportunity for corrective actions at the first incident. Administrative action typically includes documentation and counseling aimed at addressing the behavior and providing resources for rehabilitation or further education on the consequences of alcohol use.

In the case of the second incident, the more severe consequence of discharge underscores a zero-tolerance stance towards repeated breaches regarding alcohol use. This policy is designed to maintain discipline and readiness within the ranks, showing that repeated incidents will result in significant repercussions.

The differentiation between the first and second incidents emphasizes a progressive disciplinary model, giving service members a chance to correct their behavior after the first incident while making it clear that continued violations will not be tolerated. This structured response ultimately aims to support individuals while also ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the organization as a whole.
