I know of people being fired due to such reasons as well; both in government and private business organizations.

On the other hand I know people who showed up totaly wasted in both kind of organizations and got away with it.

For example one of my former army buddies attended a wedding, celebrated and drunk till 7 am in the morning, went being totally wasted straight to his job in tax and revenue office, crawled under his desk and slept there until 5 pm without ever getting any trouble.

Things like this happen quite often and in general some get caught and fired and others get away with it and so it's not a special military thing.
