Highschool dropout helms navy frigate
Command of the navy's most prestigious warship Te Kaha has been handed over to a man who was once a high school dropout.
Commanding Officer David McEwan, 47, was registered unemployed when he joined the Limited Service Volunteer scheme run by the New Zealand Defence Force in 1984.
''When I left school I didn't have much of a focus. I wasn't really the academic type, I just wanted to have a good time,'' he said.
