That is really is odd. My niece is in the Air Force, and was going to be shipped to Afghanistan, the Air Force does pregnancy tests before women are sent (ten days before), so they never ship pregnant women. To her surprise and the delight of her and her husband, she was pregnant and didn’t have to go, babe is due on Christmas Day.
Yes, she is put back on the rotation, but not until the babe is at lease six months old.
Good for her! Guess the UK military hasn’t been doing thorough pre-deployment checks, which does sound weird. Then again, it could all be the gal’s coverup for a pregnancy that occurred there.
