Looks as though it's true.

How much does it cost to train an ADF pilot? One million? Two million considering three years of zero productive employment and ancillary training?

Recently graduated navy pilots are being offered release due training bungling. Devastating for the lads involved- and another expensive casualty of the Sea Sprite.

But guess what? This weekend they will still be advertising for military pilots in the national newspapers.

Taliban- religious indoctrination in Pakistani madrass, age 14 to 16, funded by Saudis. A few hundred USD. AK47 & a few goes at an RPG- another few hundred USD. IED training...... 1000USD per combat soldier?

Australia-..............
