Recruit them for Top Gun!

Suspend the pilot from school ... ten send him to the astronaut program at NASA. :)

This kid may have some good flying skills and some great big kahoohnas (something that a good fighter pilot needs) but I would hope he has a lot more growing up to do and demonstrates a lot better judgment and maturity and understanding of personal responsibility and integrity in the future before our Navy or USAF would consider him for flight school.

The military is a great place for kids with spirit but our military is not and should not be a reform school for malcontents, sociopaths and criminals.

We sure don’t need more Lisa Nowak types in NASA.

Maybe this kid was only engaging, one time, in what he thought was a harmless prank and if so, he shouldn’t be punished too severely.

But if he has a past pattern of flaunting the law and the safety of others, I don’t think he is military material.
