I envied those guys walking the perimeter at Scampton with an alsatian.
So what did the guys in Wales walk with for their dates ?

Yeah I know, coat, hat

COULD cast DOUBT....!



WTF?
HR speak, tell someone they can't be because of a conviction and ambulance chasers would be on it quicker than a dog in heat with a nice £50k for wounded feelings for some absa scroat with menu of convictions.

If you remove definite exclusion then possibly someone could get through the system but many ways to prevent someone become a copper during application, training, probation etc.

Sadly lawss are written by idiots, voted on by idiots and rest is up to imagination.

TTN,

The officer concerned was SASO,1 Gp and from his obituary in 2005 it stated: After retiring from the RAF in 1967,

He had attended a dining-in night at Scampton and had declined a driver to which he was entitled. On returning to Bawtry he ran off the road and called the police.

Realising that Drink Driving would bring disrepute in the Service he did the honorable thing and resigned immediately and had cleared his desk by Monday. Of course as the judiciary got to grips with the new law so things became less draconian and initially DD was not seen as anti-social as it is now.

matty, having come a little late to this thread all I will add is that you seem a little sensitive and uptight even though you have been offered generally well meaning advice.

PN - Thanks for the info - interesting.

Concur with your remarks re the OP - I dont thing he'd find the rough and tumble of service life to his liking.
