Defence Forces pilot to ‘retire’ after failing drugs test
It is understood the newly qualified pilot admitted taking cocaine the weekend before random test

I applied for the Air Corp maybe 6 or 7 times when I was eligible. It's kinda gutting to see somebody who got there just throw it all away after only a short while.
Awful waste of career and the thrown away training costs (if facts borne out)
I'm surprised he's being allowed to "resign" rather than being dishonourable discharged if he failed a drugs test. As you say what a waste of a career and the investment...
What a waste. Surely he /she will have to pay back all of the tuition costs. Hard to read given long term dream of serving as a permanent member of the defence forces. Appitude tests and evaluations etc are not all that there are made out to be.

Officers aren't discharged they retire or relinquish their commission
Enlisted are discharged as a result of testing positive.... (Or something along those lines)
Stupid f**k shouldnt bounce until hes clear of the gate!
"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
