A female recruit is appealing after she was kicked out of army training in Germany for having breast implants.
Alessija Dorfmann, 23, who has a D cup after the operation, said: "I am devastated - it has always been my dream to be a soldier and have a great figure - and now my fake boobs have cost me my job.
"I could not stop crying when they told me. I wanted to work as an army medic and help save lives."
The brunette who earned the money for the boob job working as a carer in an OAP's home before joining the army has now appealed the ruling - and military chiefs have pledged to review the situation.
Army spokesman Harald Kammerbauer said: "The rule that was brought in because of the increased risk of an injury is under review.
"It was introduced more than a decade ago and it may be that it is no longer relevant in the modern army. In future we may be prepared to make exceptions."
Nuts, how can we make a call on this without the evidence?
What would Chesty Puller think?
Sometimes it is too easy... :)
She can join my army :)
Gee. How would this delicate flower do on the battlefield?
That’s Alessija Dorfmann, 23, who has a D cup?
Why do you have pictures like this? Much less post them? :)
She should sign up with the US Military, where not only de we allow it but give it away in certain circumstances.
Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan “Be All You Can Be,” but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers’ dime.
The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free — something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.
“Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible,” Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off.
Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said.
The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, “the surgeons have to have someone to practice on.”
Maybe the Germans were worried that there would be too many Chesty Pullers around her???
Why....every soldier wants to have someone look at them and exclaim: “Look at dem guns!”
Dorfmann?
Re#31- It’s yours. I think.
Fire the incompetent clod!!!!
