Joining the British Army?

You will still have to reveal that conviction so they will say the same thing.

H-man

Basically come back in 2016, if you chance your arm at another office they will find out as all applications are linked on a database these days. No it isn't really up to the 'guy' in the office, those are guidelines that are laid down to him by HQ Recruiting Group, he is merely following him. However you are allowed to enlist with no more than two unspent convictions, provided you have no other convictions and this was the sole thing you were charged for then you should have met the eligibility criteria.

You can try, however its unlikely. You will have to reveal your conviction, if you don't and they find out later then you're done for. Until the criminal conviction ends I doubt any recruitment office will accept you, the army doesn't let in everyone like they used to, especially the kind that are charged with assaulting police.

Its done on a case by case basis, get proof of your conviction, as much detail as possible and take it with you. People do get in with unspent convictions, but like I said it all depends on what they did and when...

I've never heard of anyone spitting at a policeman, so can't give you any help with that one, it's probably worth a try though.

if you were told to come back in 2016 by a real recruiter then that explains you fate right there

Try the Spanish foreign-legion, The British army and the French foreign-legion don't take lager louts any-more.

Spat on him? Wow that is scummy. I feel no pity for you hopefully you learned your lesson

No your be wasting your time
