...a pregnant women in an Operational zone is not very sensible...
A fair call I think. However, in this case we are talking about someone living on the married patch in the Falklands. It's a few years since my last 4-month session in the FI but I would hardly equate it to an operational tour. For the Chinook dudes (who moved out halfway through my last tour), AT/AAR dudes, Signals, RIC, ABMs, Medics etc it felt very much like a respite tour from the operational theatres of Iraq & AFG. Only a very small % of F3 chaps tried to pretend otherwise.
