NZDF captain facing court martial for negligence

NZDF captain facing court martial for negligence | Stuff.co.nz

A New Zealand Defence Force officer is awaiting court martial at Linton.

The NZDF captain will appear before the court martial on August 23 at the Linton Military Camp, facing charges relating to a failure to store two pistols securely.

He is accused of negligently failing to do his duty by leaving the pistols unsecured between November 19 and November 24 last year. He also faces a second charge after telling a preliminary investigation that he had put the pistols in a secure room, which he allegedly knew not to be the case.

He should apply for a position with the Prime Ministers security team...

Just a tad more serious than a conduct to the prejudice of good military discipline charge.

The military should have their potentially dangerous toys taken off them (sarcasm).
