A mate of mine served in the TA but got into trouble and ended up in a civilian prison for a few months (no court martial). That led to a dishonourable discharge. He's gutted about his mistake and letting people down, but he's trying to make the best of things.

Here's my question. When he was arrested, the Army owed him some wages. Quite a lot. Has he lost them because of his discharge? Or can he claim them somehow?

Really welcome any advice. Cheers.

Why can't you admit it was you?

Actually J, I think the "mate" aspect has a certain "je ne sais quoi" don't ya?

It wasn't. Really! I'm not in the Army, and I'm bound to show myself up. Trying to find out for a friend.

Dirty lying criminal.

Can't he just go into the TA center and ask the admin officer ?

I don't think that a civil conviction would result in loss of pay owed to him.

Are you sure it was a "dishonourable discharge" rather than SNLR?

Tell him to write to the adj of his former unit.

Thanks alot.

Not sure if it was SNLR. An Army rep just turned up in prison with discharge papers for him to sign. I'll get him to write.

Cheers.

I'm surprised you know what SNLR means, did your 'mate' tell you?
