question about declaring past convictions...
orite fellas im just wondering how strict and stringent the RM are on past convictions?ive read that you have to declare all,even spent convictions and that obviously some may restrict you being able to join certain units.
im asking out of my general interest and my mates,who was previously convicted under the vagrancy act(somethin bout flashin sum lasses for a laugh and he ended up getin done for it lol),its not a serious crime(think he did sum probation for it) and i think it will become spent when he applies for RT,but will this impede him at all and should he declare it or just keep his trap shut about it??
personally i wouldnt mind knowing if the corp check all your records both medical and criminally anyway,because ive heard of many people not being able to join due to having asthma for example when they were young-supposing you fail to mention this would they pick up on it anyway?

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'
generally 4 years ban from the last time you had an inhaler or asthma symptoms recorded on your record. yeh i would mention all convictions and all other medical conditions .
E.G - nut allergys , excema, stuff like that permenent ban to forces unless goes or clear for so many years.

Don't consider failure and then it wont consider you!

is it that you can even start your RT or do the c@#t a conviction is spent,or that you cant actually pass out until its spent ie/as long as its spent before the end of RT? im only asking cos it means like an extra year of waiting.
