After a few hours of poky drill (Whilst Pissed very funny) we were left till next day where the Camp Comandant decided to make examples of us and Jailed us for 10 days under sect 69 Army act 1955 for being in an out of bounds area and causing a scene outside camp... :(

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?

And even if it was counted, surely the delay in qualifying would only be a matter of a few weeks?

i think I must have posted this before but whatever.

19Years old - p1ssed and stupid = regi entry = 14 days SUS.

Couldn't be fecked writing a begging letter for another bit of tin that had been IMO devalued while I wasn't looking. When I joined it was 18 years of not getting caught and then after just 15 I was supposed to beg for one?

If there had been a cash value to the pension maybe I might have bothered but as it is I didn't think it was worth it.

Not quite. I witnessed a one-star pinning one of them on a rather puzzled SNCO a few years ago. It had come as a total surprise to the bloke as he had copped a Regimental Entry some years before. When he finally reached the bar (we'd been waiting half an hour by that time) he was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. After a few phone calls, he discovered that his mate (now retired) who worked in the Bn Orderly Room had *ahem* intercepted the paperwork immediately after the award of punishment and filed it in the shredder.

Which only goes to show that it's not what you know, but who you know. I once lost (or thought I'd lost) my ID card. Horror of horrors, automatic charge and fine loomed up. But, no, the squadron clerk was angling for a retrade and just put it down as "replacement required, original destroyed". Found the original later in one of my combat jackets so had an "insurance" in case there was no such friendly clerk available.

As a recipient of the LS&GC after 18 years service, I can confirm that a night (or two, or three) in the nick doesn't disqualify you. I got stuck in on a Good
Friday for being, shall we say, a few sheets to the wind, and ended up being looked after until the following Tuesday. OC thought I'd been punished enough for spending 4 nights in nick so just gave me a bollocking, or admonishment as he put it. No Regtl entry, no fine, medal given.

Swedish comanders staff car

A&Sh nick
Still no idea wot append
Honest guv

A brush over a certain Bandsmans head followed, by a few sharp thumps to his body/head emjoyable at the time, he did lie to me. I had just been promoted to Lance Jack my punishment was a full months pay and severe bollocking i.e. you should know better, l could demote you for this etc...

I did appeal towards to the end my service the Chief Clerk was impressed with my submission..didn't get the medal though.

However, I do know one of our number who was charged with an ND in Northern Ireland he appealed and got his LSCG.

Not ashamed of my actions these things happen.

I suppose submitting an application would help.

It's a grey man's medal anyway but do you think it's worth appealing these?

Regt'l Entry 1: Found asleep outside block after falling off (nicked) Provo Sgt's bicycle (4 am and anything outside the guardroom's fair play). Got me 14 days ROPs.

Regt'l Entry 2: 21 Days SUS for being lifted by the Feds for doing a 'Naked Marketplace) downtown. Probably would have been laughed away (it was a very cold night) if I hadn't been celebrating finishing 14 days ROPs for lifting the Prov's bike.

AGAI 67 Major Sanction: No names or indications of time and place but it involved my calling a Lt Col a "right fooking twunt" who I "wouldn't follow out of curiosity" before projectile vomiting half a gallon of vino aggro over him.

Personally I think all the above show character and that if you read between the lines it's pretty obvious that I am in fact an all round good egg and snappy dresser.

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

Simple really. They didn't have one in my size.

MsG

Have to agree with Exbleep, it's all about who you know.

I can remember a certain SSM getting his bang on the dot of his 15 year point despite having a conduct sheet with more holes punched through it than Helen Keller's diary. Seems it just disappeared.

Strangely same bod turns up on other pages of ARRSE as a Lt Col with sticky fingers (allegedly)

For the record. Didn't serve long enough and suppose mullering the OC's driver wasn't going to bring it any closer either.

Because I had only completed 9 years.

How many years service are required to get one?
