Thread: LS&GC - Why did you not get yours

Not enough time in and got charged as a Nig for being a drunken tw@t anyways... Didn't even get exemplary on me conduct the gits. Have to make do with Very Good.

So me thinks you are talking crap.

How come? I only did one 28 day stint at the CO's pleasure and was not eligible

I hadn't really thought about it because I didn't do enough time, but i'm not sure if the bouncing I got in Aldershot would have ruled me out.

Me and one of the other lads decided after a night on the pop to commit an act of mindless vandalism by tossing a cement mixer into a great big excavation hole outside E Block, Monty Lines. I got bubbled and bounced the next day, receiving a £50 fine for not shaving and 7 days ROPs for the vandalism. I take it that would have ruled me out? Having said that, i'm so massively gonged up, there wouldn't have been any room on my sunken chest for any more medals.......all two of 'em.

You can be locked up in the cells overnight without getting a Regt entry. It's a Regt entry that bars you from the award of the LSGC not being locked up for the night.

Works both ways mate

I wouldn’t want to go on the p*ss with someone who was too much of a dullard to ensure he didn’t get caught

I did 28 days in depot nick and still got mine :D

Were you under 18 at the time? If so, that's why. Only man service counts towards the LSGC.

And that's despite getting lots of letters and not getting shot.

Generally (and I haven't got one either) a misdemeanour as a 'young and daft' squaddie can be overlooked on appeal. The higher up the rank structure you go then misdemeaning lessens your chances at appeals. From my experience, if you misdemean as a SNCO then forget the tailor's bill for your hook to hang it on. It's always worth a try in your last year as well (if you have an otherwise 'exemplary' record. (Still didn't work for me though!).

Bottom Line: Regtl Entry (and your Regtl Conduct Sheet stays with you forever) = No LS&GC (subject to Appeal).

Some top blokes have it and some equally top blokes haven't - it doesn't change them. I'd go on the pish with all of 'em regardless of ribbons and silverware.

It's because it wasn't a cold dark night :D

I am woundering if any of you out there have had a stupid charge which has effected your application for the LS and GC, No rape or GBH please......

if it was in basic training then the regt entry would not have carried forward to trained soldier service...something not right in your dit?

As an aside to the have you/haven't you got one, the next question is how many years did it take to get yours.

I was never eligible due rank and service time but am personally aware of a family member who took 25 years to get his, no entries on his RCS but a run in with an OC whilst a Cpl and the jungle drums beat.........

Can anyone beat 25 years.

He did manage to serve a total of 37 years, Reg and TA before being forced to 'retire' at 55

Not strictly true, hi-jinx in basic can result in action be carried to your first unit. i.e getting into mischief on your final night results in your first reporting unit dealing with the fall out.
