According to Wikipedia Ms Lambie certainly did not put her career ahead of her self interest:

"Lambie enlisted in the Australian Army in 1989,[3] spending over ten years in the Australian Army specialising in transport management and military policing.[4] She achieved the rank of corporal but at one point was charged and reduced in rank after assaulting a fellow soldier while intoxicated.[5] During a field exercise in July 1997 she suffered injuries that resulted in severe backpain. Over some time she worked to regain her fitness and at one point had a breast reduction procedure paid for by the military in an attempt to alleviate pain she suffered. One day away from leaving for her first operational deployment in East Timor she discovered that due to her previous injuries she was not able to support the weight of her body armour and was eventually discharged for medical reasons (thoracic pain) in 2000.
