An Australian submariner who got so drunk on a US naval base he was rushed to hospital dodged disciplinary action and was promoted. Footage shows the man being restrained by US guards and has prompted a vow by the Federal Government to stamp out alcohol abuse in the Australian Defence Force.
The sailor was half-naked, sprawled on the grass and initially unconscious after a marathon bender. The leading seaman is shown apparently unconscious in a park area while HMAS Waller was docked at Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii in 2008.

Police, ambulance and even fire officers from the famous US port are called to help the man who was allegedly found with another colleague, slumped on the ground. He is seen scuffling with emergency staff as they try to put him on a stretcher.
A whistleblower who saw the saga unfold said: "This guy was a leading seaman, somebody with sailors under his command. It wasn't even midday and he was the second Australian to be taken to hospital by Pearl Harbor emergency services for intoxication that day."
