WASHINGTON—Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve this year after testing positive for cocaine, according to people familiar with the matter.
Hunter Biden, a lawyer by training who is now a managing partner at an investment company, had been commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Reserve, a part-time position. But after failing a drug test last year, his brief military career ended.
Biden, 44 years old, decided to pursue military service relatively late, beginning the direct-commission process to become a public-affairs officer in the Navy Reserve in 2012. Because of his age—43 when he was to be commissioned—he needed a waiver to join the Navy. He received a second Navy waiver because of a drug-related incident when he was a young man, according to people familiar with the matter. Military officials say such drug waivers aren’t uncommon.

That is a big F$#%ing deal!
I suspect he just wanted to be able to say he was a veteran. Always a good "vote getter."
Just to give a clue as to how bleeping stupid he is (but consider his sire) he was tested on one of the few days he was actually in uniform. Cocaine metabolizes fairly quickly meaning he'd been using shortly before reporting to 'work' as a reservist.
2/3 of Slow Joe's kids have patterns of serious drug usage.
Sad for the parents/step-parents; but they are sad, too.
JB's a piss poor excuse for a human being much less a parent.
He is proficient only at lying and when a father doesn't value honesty you can't expect anything out of the children.
And that wife he's got-supposed to be a PhD. She like Obama -uh uh uh, duh duh duh She goofy as hell.
Can you hear his political future blowing away? I can. Wait he's a democrat, never mind.
After seeing some of Bidens' actions and statements on TV and on radio, I would think its only smart money to get him to pee in the cup too!!!! Bob Aswell
