The form asked for all her personal data, and additionally the name, former name, place/date of birth and passport numbers of both her parents.
I think its time the Services reviewed the way we do business with our applicants. A simple name, address, tel no and CV is all that is required for a career application at the outset. Nothing more, just telephone directory stuff. All applicants should be made aware that they will be subject to vetting (a page of no,no's could be supplied with the application form to filter out the time wasters) if they are successful at the selection stage. While the number of exams and interviews might reduce slightly (most applicants will get through the vetting stage), the number of vetting processes must reduce down to approx the annual intake of recruits. Its not rocket science and it reduces the amount of personal data held unnecessarily by the MoD.
