It was also disclosed that she had simultaneously been applying for work at up to £48,000-a-year job in Afghanistan making use of specialist telecommunications experience from the Army....
......In August 2007 she emailed a recruitment agent about a job as a senior systems administrator for a Nato telecommunications project in Kabul which involved being away for nine weeks at a time, the panel heard.
A few months later she applied for another similar post which required would have required her to be in Afghanistan for 12 week periods.

And here's the Tribunal's judgement - Telegraph
Quote:
the tribunal ruled: "Despite it being foreseeable that Miss DeBique could become a single parent while in service and if that happened that she would have difficulty with her childcare arrangements unless a member of her extended family who was a foreign national could live with her, the Army failed to make appropriate arrangements for such an eventuality.
"Bearing in mind the recruitment campaigns, the tribunal would expect that the Army would make those arrangements.
"The arrangements could have been to provide proper childcare provisions. But that was not done or done effectively.
"So, the tribunal would expect some relaxation of the usual immigration rule."

What?  The Army's only recourse to prevent this would have been sterilisation - what a stupid statement (imho).
