Cnuts are useful. This creature is not. What a waste of skin.

A DEAD STATESMAN
I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
Kipling: EPITAPHS 1914
New him when he was at 43 Bde and although no one would have thought this of him at the time, suprisingly i'm not shocked. Always came over as a bit self obsessed.
He was my RAO 2003/2004 and was I thought was a really nice guy and would look after the guys who were in financial trouble etc, but now what an utter cnut. we served in Iraq in 2004 and was incharge of cash for the guys and paying the LECs etc, I wonder just how much money he got away with then.
You may have a point here. In the early eighties, my Dad did his last 2 years as a PSI at a TA unit. There was a Major who was on the mega fiddle with his expenses and claimed thousands saying that he was at such and such a TAC etc. My Dad ended up being one of the prosecution witnesses at his Court Martial but wasn`t called to give evidence because the Major pleaded guilty. He was fined and given loss of seniority. Should have been jailed and discharged in my view.Originally Posted by JJ_Wrinkly_Old_Git
On the other side of the coin a mate of mine, a WO2 with 21 and half years service fiddled his travel expenses to a much lesser degree. He was made an example of, discharged with loss of pension.
One rule for officers and one for OR`s.
Majority rank - shed loads of them about in 'career ceiling' mode, some will obviously have a sense of narcissistic sociopathy about them, right? World owes them something? Should have been promoted to Colonel by now? "Why can't you recognise how great I am?" Obviously this is only a tiny fraction, but in media terms, a lot of Majors have been caught on the criminal fiddle and prosecuted. If the Army was the private sector, a significant number of the very same Majors could have found themselves out on their arrse years before.
There does generally seem to be a 'softly, softly' approach to dealing with the same indiscretions committed bu an Orifice when compared to the punishment of an OR. Thats just life I suppose, but in real terms it could just be that extra little incentive to commit the crime if you know you can get a less severe punishment.
Cnut needs a flogging, simple.

I know a civvie MOD worker done for the same
Over 30 counts of fraudulent claims
Accepted a civvie police caution for fraud
Sacked by MOD
Lost 2 appeals
Lost a 3rd civel service appeal
The union took it to civvie tribuneral
Their own lawyer said it was unwinable
They turned up at the tribuneral and walked away £25,0000 richer
Seems a good old fashioned sob story and the SIB losing your original paperwork works
We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.

I am very sad to learn that he is a former Sapper. But then the Corps is representative of all walks of life in the UK and beyond. Innit.

This pond life should be sentenced by his peers, not a civilian court. He should be stripped of his badges and symbols of rank , etc in front of his entire unit and flogged into a guardroom on his way to Colchester. After a lengthy stay at MCTC he should be made to slop out at Hedley Court for the next 30 years ,even though he's not fit to be in the same building as the in-patients. He is not only a disgrace to the uniform , but makes it all that harder for the rest of the fundraising community due to the adverse publicity he's attracted.Whoever saw fit to commission him want to ask themselves a few hard questions too....
Overactively underachieving for almost half a century.
