DISGRACEFUL

[Gil Boyd]

Filing for Citizenship is done by MOD as you reach the end of your tenure in the UK it is usually successful but for these eight time out and not being around to properly assist with a signature due to operations in Afghanistan caused a hole to appear in the "filing" system. Most of the paperwork ironically is done when you join up from these countries , otherwise you wouldn't get in to UK Armed Forces.
It is the MOD then with those papers complete or not in their hands who make the decision as the soldier reaches the end of his service. The soldier has to go along with the judgement.

Identical to the Gurkhas, who were also made to look as if they to wanted to change the rules....NOT so!
They were treated like an empty carton being put in the rubbish............"you have served your purpose now go back to your own country".

Didn't the one fellow not return within the required 2 years? It also sounds like they didn't have the monies required. Is that not the case?
