How does something like this happen??? I mean, I know we all make mistakes, but it would seem she should have some serious counseling before working with our government (if ever working with our government)!!! Are there no other qualified candidates? Jeesh!
From Yahoo News:
"CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The former astronaut fired by NASA after she was charged with trying to kidnap a romantic rival will develop flight lesson plans as part of her new military assignment.
Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak will work on developing curriculum and training programs when she joins the staff of the Chief of Naval Air Training Command in Corpus Christi next month, said a Navy spokesman, Lt. Sean Robertson.
She was originally expected to report for work this week, but Robertson said Nowak will start her new job in April."

The military typically shoves a person facing civilian charges into an out-of-the-way job until the charges are resolved. Generally these are jobs where the person is out of the way and not likely to screw anything up too badly.
If she gets convicted she will be separated from the Navy 'For the good of the service.'

protection rigidity workers who're assigned obligations to NASA as astronauts are nevertheless under the provisions and jurisdiction of the UCMJ. there is not any particular can charge of Adultery indexed in the Punitivie Articles of the UCMJ; besides the shown fact that, there is a piece of writing for "habit Unbecoming an Officer." i might think of that Captain Nowak's movements almost certainly in advantageous condition this text to a "T." there is likewise Article 134, that's a primary crimes article used to prosecute offenses for which there is not any particular article before indexed. Adultery comes under this text. so a techniques, there has been no shown occasion of adultery on all of us's area. the information media has in effortless terms pronounced that the three have been "in a relationship," and until eventually the Air rigidity and the army habit their very own investigations, you will no longer pay attention something approximately it from them. And have faith me, there almost certainly would be investigations by utilising the two the Air rigidity and the army. If the consequence of the investigations point out that the officers in contact ought to be courtroom-martialed, then which will maximum veritably take place. the only way that those officers can sidestep a courtroom-martial is to renounce their commissions, or perhaps then the Air rigidity and the army can refuse the resignation and carry them for trial. yet i'm guessing that this would possibly not take place; the two amenities will probobly enable them to renounce. Captain Nowak would be charged and tried by utilising Florida government; as quickly as that trial is over, the army has the alternative of putting her on trial besides. If she is sentenced to penitentiary by utilising the civilian courtroom, she would be able to the two be charged with AWOL or allowed to renounce. A sticky difficulty, yet i will exceptionally plenty assure that the Air rigidity and the army will do what would be in the terrific pastime of the guy amenities. Any way you look at it, I extremely have a feeling that all and sundry 3 of them are washed up with NASA, and an factor consequence of that's that their respective protection rigidity careers are in the lavatory besides. i might wager that a 300 and sixty 5 days from now, all 3 are out of the service, one would be in penitentiary, and a pair of would be flying commercial airliners. Time will tell.

Did you actually read her new job description? She's going to develop flight lesson plans. Oh the excitement! Sorry, wasn't this demotion enough for you? She's gone from being an astronaut to having a desk job making lesson plans. Just how humiliated do you need her to be? As for counseling, why do you imagine she hasn't had any?
