I was recently discharged from Sandhurst after nearly a year (got backtermed 1 term) and was given Service no longer required without the right to go in as a regular soldier or reserves.
Is there any form of appeal or challenge process as the grounds are so vague and loose it seems to confirm the believe this was more just a case that certain people weren't fans of myself and wanted me out.
My original plt cmdr had put some false statements on my review board statement (when was back termed) that brought my integrity into question. Explain these were not true and was told would be removed from my report but it had already gone to the Review Board. Assistant Commandant was obviously not impressed and threatened to discharge me there and then.
Since the back term I did a lot better in my new plt and the guys backed me up and worked as a fantastic team, best group of people I know! But the plt cmdr (a foreign military officer) wasn't my biggest fan. Believe he had some issue with me, potentially culture related or just because I had raised some questions in class regarding British Doctrine and what was being taught (as I had already had the lessons before). He basically ranked me bottom of the plt below all oversea cadets etc and this was the point Ast Cmdt stating "I just wasn't getting it maybe not right fit for the Army" which just isn't true and the entire plt made their thoughts clear to the plt cmdr after that this was completely over the top and unjust.
Is there any way I can challenge/appeal this and look to re-enlist either Sandhurst or Officer Reserves??
