Sarboy:

The only reason he didn't get kicked out of the Factory was because he was a diversity poster-boy. HIs list of misdemeanours included:

1. Telling Gold Stick (the Maj Gen in charge of the Household Div) he wanted to join HCR after being ranked "bottom third" and expecting that he would get in by playing the race card. urban myth has it GS told him "we don't take people who have been back-coursed" and he subsequently found that he had been backed the following day (suspect though the truth is he was turned down just before being backed)

2. Got caught on a speed camera and tried to claim his car was in Germany at the time. When the case went to court and the police proved that it was his car (not a similar one on cloned plates as he claimed) he tried to get his girlfriend to state she was driving. She refused and he was prosecuted. he was about to be dismissed from the RSigs for conduct unbecoming, but got away with it because he claimed he was being victimised because of his race.

3. He was RTU'd from Boz after rocking up in a staff post wearing an RRF hackle behind his Sigs "Jimmy" claiming he had some reserved rights to wear it having served with them on attachment. He was given a media ops job and caused a near diplomatic incidient.

4. Rocked up at MW claiming huge numbers of RAF hours gained in a UAS that meant he would have been exempt grading. He got as far as Shawbury before he was found to be totally barking and unsafe in the air. Caused huge amounts of grief with AAC who had to clear whole mess up. Put on administrative leave pending dismissal when he went for his jolly to SA.

I'd heard more about him along the way. A total legend!
