Which makes me think... What was Jo's deal exactly? What did UNIT see in her? What was her job description? Did the Brigadier spend time interviewing young women who could convincingly act like ten-year old girls, ask stupid questions and get into trouble on a daily basis?

I seem to remember her saying she had lots of "Agent" training and was good at picking locks.
I don't remember her having any usefull skills in the episodes though.
