After initially turning away a 17-year-old recruit because two of her family members had breast cancer, the Army has announced that it will now admit her.
Derbyshire resident Carys Holmes has not yet had her mother’s gene defect checked, although she has a 50/50 chance of acquiring it.
According to a lawyer, the Army may have had discriminatory intentions and a significant personal goal.
It has already been announced that Carys can begin her basic training in October.
Carys put in a lot of preparation for the rigorous three-day selection procedure at Whittington Barracks in Staffordshire, which is close to Lichfield, and her efforts paid off.
She performed flawlessly on the cognitive and fitness tests.
However, Carys was brought aside at the conclusion of the procedure and informed that she was being rejected.
The Army retracts its rejection of an adolescent due to a breast cancer gene.
