A Pembroke man pleaded guilty in Magistrates’ Court yesterday to failing to attend Regiment training.Brian Martin, 27, also admitted that he failed to complete his military training over three successive years beginning in 2010.He was accused yesterday of failing to attend Regiment training on 20 occasions between January 7 and June 8 in 2013.He was also charged with three counts of failing to complete his military training, having neglected to attend enough days of required training from 2010 to 2012.Martin has previously been fined by the Regiment.Prosecutor Susan Mulligan said his Commanding Officer decided to bring the charges before the courts due to their severity.According to defence counsel Arisha Flood, Martin is now “willing to complete his service without any other incidents of not showing up”.“He has been given a wake-up call and is willing to do what he needs to do,” she added.Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner fined Martin $800 total for the four offences and gave him a six-month sentence, suspended for two years.Adjutant Major Ben Beasley explained that due to Martin’s failure to complete his military duty, he “was seen by the Commanding Officer and the Commanding Officer decided the case was so serious that he should be remanded to see a court of summary jurisdiction.”“The reason that that’s done in Bermuda is that there’s no court martial system in Bermuda and the magistrate has higher authority than the Commanding Officer,” he added.“That’s pretty much the last resort and something we do’t favor doing because it gives somebody a record, which gives problems for potential employment and sometimes travel,” Maj Beasley said.Beasley said the Regiment fully expects that Martin will now return to training and complete his required two years of military service.
