  • In the British Armed Services, jankers or Restrictions of Privileges is an official punishment for a minor breach of discipline, as opposed to the more severe punishment of "detention" which would be given for committing a more serious or criminal offence. To be "on jankers" means the serviceperson has been put on a charge by a non-commissioned officer (NCO) or occasionally a commissioned officer (referred to in service slang as "being put on a fizzer"), and so having the alleged offence entered on a Charge Report (Army or RAF Form No. 252). After appearing before an officer, the punishment might be ordered by the officer only after they have heard the evidence and had considered any mitigating factors. The British military, as many organizations are inclined to do both formally and informally, make use of acronyms, which in turn become conventional jargon. Potentially, this form of punishment could conceivably have been known formally as 'Justice Administered by NCO', and may account for a subsequent abbreviation to 'jankers'. (en)
