I am reminded by TTN's post re a trainee nav being chopped because he fiddled his astros.
I was on the equippers course when we had a guy who was chopped for that sin and allowed to remuster in a ground branch. He proved an unpleasant individual who, whilst unable to do drill/AOCs parade was able to play cricket for the station. He was compelled to repeat the last module of our training course. He went on thereafter to enjoy some rather nice pieces of career planning and ended up fairly high up the food chain. In retirement, he had a "nice little earner" but was subsequently invited to do something else with his life, when questions were raised over some things he did, which eventually reached the national press.
Some of us, like TTN, took the view that his dishonesty rendered him unfit to hold Her Majesty's Writ!!!
